This has been the story of Mario Tennis for as long as I can remember. The franchise always starts mildly strong and ends up dropping off pretty quickly.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup In Bellabel Park just rolls right off the tongue doesn't it? At this point, some game titles are giving anime titles a run for their money. 😅

I like the extra characters in color palette of the Japanese variant, but I can't get past how much I like the classic gold of the North American/European variant. That one gets my vote for sure.

I don't really think I will personally be buying any classic games that would belong in a Virtual Console. I am mainly focusing on newer experiences. I think I may have had my fill of GBA games.

I will probably be mainly continuing my playthrough of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on PS5 for most of the weekend. I doubt I will be playing anything else!

Happy gaming everyone!

I honestly can't remember exactly when I first started playing it but my first memory is playing The Legend Of Zelda at my grandparent's house when I was a kid. My first time owning a Zelda game was when I got The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. Hopefully that counts.

Well lookie there. That is definitely a Pokémon game.

@Cyrax77 You are not wrong. That is the world we live in. I for one am accepting of anyone else's tastes and hold no judgement for others. I can see both sides, so I guess that is a blessing in this modern world.

@TheRazor I feel like a lot of people forget the roots of that game. That is not to say that the game's bad or anything like that, it's just that it wasn't up my alley in comparison to my previous experience. On its own though, it's still a really great game.

Stardew Valley: The game of never ending updates! This is easily my favorite cozy game though so I'm here for it!

My brother and I actually have the collector's edition of the Wii U version of this game. And I happen to have it on my shelf in my game room, still all intact. For me personally, this game was pretty polarizing when I first played it. It didn't feel very much like the first Xenoblade Chronicles so I didn't really enjoy it nearly as much. I wonder if that would have changed if I played it now instead of back then.

Cool. It's always nice to have more music on the Nintendo Music app. I honestly haven't played either of those Pokémon games though, so I don't have much nostalgia for it.

That Pikachu kind of looks similar to a stuffy that I had when I was a lot younger. Obviously that one back then wasn't an animatronic, but the similarities are striking. I guess that really shouldn't be a surprise though, because Pikachu's had a pretty similar design throughout its entire history.

I personally don't have much of an interest in revisiting this part of Nintendo's history, but I can see how some other people would like to. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and seeing one of Nintendo's greatest failures for yourself can be pretty illuminating.

@Dm9982 Thank you so much for those extra little details! I haven't heard of Grim Dawn myself though I honestly don't play many isometric games besides Diablo! They can be quite a time sink sometimes!

Kristen Bell is definitely a pretty good choice for Amy's actress as far as I am concerned! The Sonic movies are starting to get very star-studded! And I am loving every minute of it!

I missed the Nintendo Direct so I honestly didn't even know this game existed. That being said, it really isn't up my alley in the first place so I doubt I would have played it regardless. It is a neat idea though it seems to be executed rather poorly.

I am personally wondering what about the game is unique enough to stand out against the eShop's crowded game library in the first place. It looks fine, but I don't see anything about it that is different than other isometric action RPGs.

The bigger ones definitely have more detail than the smaller ones. Some of those look genuinely nice. Too bad my game room is full of stuff at this point and I am in a spot where I have to be picky with the additions I make in my room.

Literally every single poster in this list is awesome. All of them have cool details from the Super Mario universe. My favorite one though is the Mario one at the very beginning. I love the beam of light coming out from behind his fist.

My favorite horse that isn't mentioned on this list is Shadowmere from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. My favorite overall will always be Epona though!

I honestly didn't even like this game when it first released, so I can't see myself playing it again. Time rewind mechanics on a puzzle platformer just aren't super interesting to me.

I adored this game on PlayStation 5, and even though I wouldn't pick it up again Nintendo Switch 2, I feel like more people need to experience this game. Putting the fan service to the side, it's an incredible action adventure game. It's probably my favorite PlayStation 5 game to be honest. I can't wait for a future sequel!

One of my kids had one of those Hatchimals. It is one of those toys where it is fun and exciting until the toy hatches.

Once it does, they may play with it for 5 minutes figuring out what it can do. After that, it goes in the play room never to be seen from again.

I honestly don't really care too much about Pokémon beyond the first generation, but I would always that I do have a soft spot for Lugia. I have many good memories of playing Pokémon SoulSilver when I was younger, and my brother would play Pokémon HeartGold. We would walk around with the little PokéWalkers and collect our steps quite often and we both still have ours. I have no idea if they still work though. The batteries probably died out a long time ago.

I am mildly excited for this game myself. I just hope it does enough to stand out in a sea of third person action adventure games. I will wait for reviews to see if this game does enough to peak my interest, but for now I will chalk this one up to a maybe. IO Interactive working on this does leave me hopeful though.

I live in North America and I have to give the win to the European variant this time. That particular box art is much more colorful than the North American version and it would probably stand out more on store shelves.

It is nice to not see another report about a GKC. There would be no excuse to put a game like this on something like that though many developers choose to do so for cost cutting measures.

The price tags attached to these pinball machines are far too pricy for me. I could never afford one of these though they look pretty nice. I don't know how the prices on these compare to similar products.

I still haven't tried out the demo myself. I'm definitely going to be trying it out very soon and seeing if I like the game. I am pretty stoked for the game overall. I already have it on my wish list. Depending on how the demo goes will determine if I end up buying it at launch, or waiting a little bit longer.

I'll definitely be watching the second movie in theaters. My whole family had such a great time with the first one that we won't be missing the second unless for some reason one of them doesn't want to watch it.

I'm not a very complicated guy when it comes to Pokémon. I decided to just settle on Bulbasaur, but honestly there's too many that I would choose that I like just as much. That's just the first one that came to mind.

I started my weekend with getting 100% completion on Doki Doki Literature Club + on PS5 and I am also playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on the same system. I might play a few other games but I have been pretty happy with my weekend so far!

As always, happy gaming everyone!

I am honestly getting mildly excited for The Duskbloods. I think I will go watch the trailer again to remind myself of the vibe this game is going for!

I have never gotten to play Metal Gear Solid IV so I am all for this! Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker is also a pretty good Metal Gear game!

This collection actually looks pretty solid to me. I can definitely see myself playing this game sometime this year to be honest!

Dragon Quest is doing Dragon Quest things, and I personally love this series. Can't wait for the next numbered entry.

This is one game that has been on my radar for a while now, and seeing it receive new content is fantastic. That will make it all the sweeter when I finally dip my toes in and give it a try.

I am pretty amazed that one of my favorite games from my childhood is getting new content so many years later. I haven't played D2 since the early 2000's and I sometimes wonder if I would still enjoy the game now as much as I did back in my youth.

I hope my current set last a long time. A set of these Joy-Cons is just so darn expensive, and it doesn't help that the new colors are barely noticeable in my opinion.

This game is sounding more promising by the hour! I am almost sold on it at this point. I mainly will just need to secure funds when I can so I can inevitably play it some day.

Unfortunately I haven't played any of those games, so I will be missing out on any promotional material. I will be playing The Adventures of Elliott: The Millennium Tales though!

The fact that the game references Viva Piñata is a pretty big selling point for me! I originally wasn't considering this game, but after that comparison in mechanics, I am quite a bit more interested.

This game never stops giving! I truly respect the developers for the level of effort they are putting in! There always seems to be something interesting to do in this game.

It is hard to complain about good free DLC! It has been a while since I have played a Sonic Racing game. This one would probably be my best jumping back in point if I ever did!

Unfortunately, I won't be playing this one. Slim single player offerings are pushing me away at the moment.

That is a pretty darn cool looking poster if you ask me! If it was coming to North America, I would definitely be splurging on it.

I don't live in Europe, so I definitely won't be attending. That being said, I do really like the color palette they chose for the box art of this game. It is super inviting and makes me want to play. I wonder how much depth this game will have for people that sink some serious hours into it.

I don't usually playing games like these online so I imagine that the content would seem pretty light for a solo player like me. I also have never been a huge fan of the character themed special moves. They always seemed super gimmicky to me and I always played with normal tennis rules when possible. I'll probably pass on this one unless it drops ludicrously low in price.

I personally don't have a ton of interest in playing any Virtual Boy games myself. This system never was nostalgic for me when I was younger though I did have a headset that had a similar vibe. I can't remember what it was called but it was always fun to mess with. I wonder if I still have it somewhere!
