games such as <em>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe</em>, <em>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom</em> (and <em>Breath of the Wild</em>), and <em>Super Mario Bros. Wonder</em>. For most people, we recommend the Switch Lite, which is a handheld-only device, though for people looking to play Nintendo games on a TV, the base model with a dock is also a great choice. If your gift recipient would appreciate the absolute best handheld experience, the OLED Switch looks great, but you pay extra for that beautiful screen.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="a-new-mario"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="a-new-mario-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="A new Mario" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="4">A new Mario</h2><div id="a-new-mario-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="a-new-mario" aria-hidden="false"><figure id="attachment_417366" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="A still from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530 585w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530&dpr=1.5 877w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530&dpr=2 1170w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2024/10/gifts-for-gamers-2048px-4843.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265&dpr=2 640w" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-large wp-image-417366"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Image: Nintendo</span></figcaption></figure><div class="ebb615ab global-cob e1e566ad" data-scp="callout"><div id="callout-chapter-7-22" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="62798"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="62798"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="62798"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/128487?merchant=Woot" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Woot" data-vars-store="Woot" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/128487?merchant=Woot" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_review_deal_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="62798" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/62798/Paper-Mario--The-Thousand-Year-Door_20240620-202906_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/128487?merchant=Woot" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Woot" data-pick-type-id="7" data-pid="62798" data-store="Woot" data-vars-store="Woot" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/deals/128487?merchant=Woot" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_review_deal_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">The Thousand-Year Door is Mario’s most clever, most character-filled adventure ever.

That might sound strange, but if your giftee already owns a Nintendo Switch, do them a favor with what might be the best game on the system this year. <em>The Thousand-Year Door</em> drops Mario and his friends (and enemies) into a turn-based role-playing game full of wild new worlds, clever writing, and gameplay that mixes RPG stuff with Mario-appropriate jumping and special attacks. This is a remake of a decades-old GameCube game, but you’d never know it—the game is energetic, vital, and charming from top to bottom. Younger kids might have trouble with all the reading, but otherwise, this is one of the best titles for all ages we’ve seen in 2024.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container"

some of the best side-scrolling video games of the past 15 years. Putting the player in the role of Sargon, an Immortal tasked with rescuing a prince lost in a bizarre, time-distorted castle, <em>The Lost Crown</em> mixes sword and bow combat with dashes, jumps, teleports, and more. The result will feel familiar to anyone who has played games such as <em>Super Metroid, Super Meat Boy</em>, and <em>Celeste</em>, but the whole is more than just the sum of its influences. <em>The Lost Crown</em> is an absolute joy to control and responds instantly and intuitively to what players do on the controller.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03"

PlayStation 5 have joined together to beat back hordes of alien bugs and terrifying robotic soldiers across the galaxy. But there’s more going on here than meets the eye. This strictly cooperative shooter—yes, <em>Helldivers 2</em> is teamwork-only, though players can “accidentally” shoot at or blow up teammates—borrows liberally from the 1997 film adaptation of <em>Starship Troopers</em>, which mixed sci-fi imagery with some heavy social satire and commentary on war and the threat of fascism.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container"

than it is wide, without sacrificing any space on the tablet’s display. It’s a simple accessory that slides right onto the Switch, so it’s easy for players to set up and hold. Not all games are compatible with the portrait-style orientation, but you can find a list of flippable games on the <a href="https://www.doesitflip.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Does It Flip? website</a>. A quick warning: The existing version does not work with Nintendo’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/nintendo-switch-oled-launch/">Switch OLED Model</a> or Switch Lite, so make sure you know which Switch your loved one owns.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a
