Both of my sons are now in double digits \u2013 10 and 13. I can hardly believe that my youngest son Sean is 10 and that my oldest son Michael is 13. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was compiling a list of birthday gift ideas for Michael\u2019s tenth birthday<\/a>. Many of the things that were popular then (video games, books, and technology) are still relevant. Below, you will find Seans\u2019s 2017 ideas for \u201c9 Popular Birthday Gifts for 10-Year-Old Boys\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nintendo Birthday Gifts for 10-Year-Old Boys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sean goes through various \u201cobsessions\u201d. Right now, Nintendo is at the top of his list. That is why it\u2019s not a surprise to me that Nintendo products captured 5 of the 9 spots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*1. Nintendo Galaxy Style Nintendo New 3DS XL Console<\/a>:<\/strong> This is Sean\u2019s absolute favorite gaming system at the moment. Seriously \u2013 he randomly said, \u201cI love it\u201d and kissed it while riding on the subway. (Weird\u2026but sweet!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*2. Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a game where you get to create your own Mario levels. There are four level styles \u2013 Super Mario Bros., New Super Marios Bros, Super Mario Bros.3, and\u00a0Super Mario World. It\u2019s a good game and I recommend it if you like building games.\u201d \u2013 Sean<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Nintendo Switch<\/a>:<\/strong> Sean has wanted this new console since we attended a preview event for it back in January. The biggest difference from the Wii U is that it is portable. It\u2019s like a 3-in-1 gaming system. You can play it on the television or on a tabletop (like the Wii U) but you can also take it with you to play (like a DS). Back in January, I predicted that Nintendo would eventually phase out the Wii U. I hope that they don\u2019t phase out the DS though. (Maybe Sean will get this for Christmas.) Just be aware that \u00a0Wii and Wii U disks don\u2019t work with this new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
