Forums - Gaming Discussion - How to spend $4,000 on video games in 1 Hour!

Buy every kid a 2DS and games. And a PS4/XboxOne/WiiU for the house.



Around the Network

Find out what they have. (if not all in same house then you may get 2x or 3x the consoles, etc)

Get some gift cards at Gamestop so they can pick some of their own games.

If they don't have 3DSs then buy an XL for each, get the special edition bundles and a unique design for each. Plus games such as Pokemon X/Y, Zelda, Marios, etc, etc.

If they don't have a Wii U get that plus (NSBMU/NSLU), ZeldaWWHD, Rayman, Mario3DWorld, 4xWiimotes, 4xnunchucks, 1xpro controller, NintendoLand (think it comes with wiimote), LEGO City, LEGO DC, COD (for 13yr old), Pikmin3, ZombiU,

If you get Wii U and/or 3DS, then get each kid $50+ eShop cards.

*****

That is best for those ages.



Maybe a 2DS for the 7 year old, tablet and Wii U for the girls, and a PS4 or XBOX ONE for the 13 year old?



nice

please do keep 4-6 games for yourself as a compensation :)

get them a tablet :P


That is also a very good idea (the tablet, not the compensation).  A Kindle or iPad mini are kid friendly, and there are a lot of educational apps as well.


dont commercialise his kids with apple crap lol. tablets no go lol.

Wii U for each household with:
Super Mario 3D World
New Super Mario Bros U (optional: Luigi version)
Nintendo Land
Lego City Undercover
Optional: Sonic All Star Racing
Optional: Disney Infinity
Extra Wiimotes

3DS for everyone with:
Pokemon X/Y
Luigi's Mansion
Mario and Luigi: Dream Team
Mario Kart 7
Animal Crossing for the girls (and maybe the young boy)
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds or OoT 3D for the 13 year old

Sprinkle in some Wii games and DS games if you need to spend more moneys. PS4/One don't seem to have many games for kids yet so maybe go for a PS3 if you have even more money you need to spend.


Pretty much what I was going to say for kids.

Wii U per house hold  and 2DS instead of 3DS perhaps as they cheaper so leaves more options for games.

For the girls I would throw in just dance 2014 and just dance for kids  on Wii U lol.

Boys throw in Rayman on Wii U

Go with WiiU ;)
I think PS4/Xbox One are more for mature gamers...


Assuming that they will keep these consoles for 5 or so years, the 13-year old will be an 18-year old at the end of that span.  I think he will be mature enough for one of the "big" consoles.  Unless he is a big Mario fan, he will be disappointed with the WiiU when he cannot play online with his friends.

The other option is to get both, but then that limits you on how many games you can get.



They sound very spoiled. What are the odds that they already have everything?



oh i have a better idea give them vintage games! and new ones :)

 

best christmas ever!!!

If you don't like Apple, you can always go with a Kindle, and throw in an Amazon Prime subscription.  The parents would be happy too :)  (*assuming they are all in the US).
