9th August, 2016 – It’s shaping up to be a great winter for young owners of Nintendo 3DS family systems.

With Nintendo 3DS, parents and kids alike can enjoy a wide variety of games on the go, allowing them to enjoy the unique fun of Nintendo games wherever they travel.

For a unique experience they won’t forget, from this Thursday younger players can find a fun new furry friend in Teddy Together (SRP AU$49.95). From the very moment Teddy jumps out of a box delivered to the player’s house, along with a mysterious key, players are drawn into a world where teddy bears come to life, because Teddy really speaks! Through fun mini-games that are easy to understand, young children can make friends with this cuddly teddy and practise their reading, spelling and interpersonal skills, all at the same time. These activities can be tackled with the assistance of a keen parent as well, since the player can introduce their friends and family to Teddy throughout the game.
