Step Right Up and Enjoy the Fun, Carnival Style



Competition at it’s finest, Carnival style.  Nintendo Switch has just released Carnival Games. A game the entire family and all your friends can play.  A guaranteed good time and lots of laughs.  So grab some popcorn, corn dogs, some pretzels and get your game faces on! 

Who doesn’t love a good carnival? My kids and their friends enjoyed playing these games one right after the other. The ages ranged 8-12 and they all had a blast playing. The competition between friends was awesome, the laughter and the fun they had while playing these games was contagious. Hog Races was a big hit with the boys, while the girls loved bowling (Cosmic Strike) and playing some old school skee ball (Meteor Storm).  This game brings back so many memories for adults and their kids.  You get lost in the moment of the game and feel like you are at the local carnival trying to win that huge stuffed animal or a goldfish.



The best thing about Carnival games is that it can be played from 1-4 players. With 20 games included, you can Hog Race, Swish (basketball shooting), Clowning Around, Light Speed (drone racing) and more.  The great thing about Nintendo Switch and its games, is that you can play it on the go, hooked up to a TV or as a handheld game.  Extra controllers can be purchased, so more than 2 people can play games on the Switch, as well as other accessories for this awesome handheld gaming system.  This game can be purchased for $39.99.  The video game rating is E10+ for Cartoon Violence.  Learn more about Carnival games at www.2k.com
