Nintendo Switch is the ultimate family gaming console. It has the flexibility to take anywhere your family goes, and the versatility to go from individual play to interactive or competitive play. Also, the selection of games continues to excite us with each new release. Their newest game, Pokemon Scarlet / Pokemon Violet comes out this month and Best Buy is giving away a copy of the double pack version of the game, a Nintendo prize pack, and a Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Edition Switch OLED, for one amazing ultimate Nintendo prize.

Do you have a favourite Nintendo memory?

Families have been enjoying Nintendo gaming for decades. My favourite Nintendo memory is from when my children were young playing Mario Kart with my father-in-law Dan. The fun started with selecting a driver, “Granpa, I want to be Bowser; you got to be him last time!” which to an outsider may have seemed confrontational but the atmosphere was total fun and laughs.

Pokemon too has been thrilling adults and children since 1996. What started as a very successful video game for the Game Boy quickly evolved into anime, trading cards, manga, and tons of related toys and other merchandise. Few on this planet have not experience Pokemon in one way or another. This contest will certainly create lasting memories for someone in Canada. The prize includes a Nintendo Switch console on which they will play countless games at home, at friends’ homes, and on road trips. One of those games will be the new Pokemon Scarlet / Pokemon Violet that’s also included in this prize. And the winner will also enjoy a collection of Nintendo Pokemon merchandise. It’s pretty much a perfect Pokemon prize!

  5. My favorite Nintendo Memory was getting our N64 in 1998, a year or so after it launched. We were all just so excited. My mom had some help as a single parent to make it happen. I remember us opening the box and losing our minds. It sticks with me to this day.

    We got Mario 64 and Rogue Squadron.

    Since then, I have passed it onto my nephew who enjoys it to this day.

  10. I remember renting Mario 3 for NES but all the wording was still in Japanese! We had so much fun – we waited forever to rent it and play it!

  12. My son played the early Nintendo console for hours. I think he enjoyed playing the Mario games best, especially with his friends. They seemed to really get into it!

  28. My favorite Nintendo memory is when I received my first game console – a N64! With Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time!
    It was magical. I was a part of big sister program, and my big sister got it for my birthday. And then, my mom got me a TV for my room! I was blown away.

  29. Thanks for the chance. My sons would love a switch. They play Pokémon go and have a few cards of Pokémon. Posted on fb and IG

  39. my favorite memory is when my son was young my sister and I would take over playing his games, we loved mario bros and the kids used to get so mad as us as we wouldn;t let them play

  42. My favourite memory of Nintendo would have to be going over to different friends’ houses to play Super Smash Bros after school. It would get very competitive and was almost like a ritual. It stands out to me because I would spent more time at their homes than at mine since my family didn’t have a Nintendo console at the time.

  45. Walking through Zellers with my dad when N64 was only 2-3 weeks old, and he randomly picked one off the shelf with Mario 64 and bought it for the family, and that is hands down my fav Nintendo memory

  46. My favourite Nintendo memory was playing Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros. against my cousins in my grandma’s basement when I was a kid.
