Our main recommendation: the Arcade X1 Console

The Arcade X1 Console is particularly well suited for Saint Nicholas: its sturdy shell holds up well to use by young children, and it's ready to pick up immediately — no technical settings to master.

A wireless alternative

If several children need to share the console, the Arcade Extreme Console with its wireless controllers avoids tangled cables between impatient little hands.

For a tighter budget

The Screen Controller remains a very affordable option, with its built-in colour screen letting kids play right away, without even needing a TV.
