    I saw this trailer, and have a different take completely on this game.

    This imo, looks like a Sesame Street style game. It appears to me to be a borderline educational game that smaller kids can play with parents.

    From what we have seen it there is no combat at all.

    If this theory is correct, while not for me, it is an interesting step Nintendo is taking. The educational gaming market is completely underserved and would be an interesting path to go down.

    So it is really cool to get feedback about the game in a setting like Tildes! Thanks.

    Has anyone played this Pokopia? I am interested in buying for a gift for my niece and nephew. Curious to what people think.

    Side note: I feel like there a lot of bots commenting on this game in other forums right now and it is hard to gauge the true popularity of this game and if it will still be popular in the coming months.

    This game looks like the uncharted game we are getting this gen. Looks like it has a lot of potential!

    I’ve been playing Mario Tennis Fever with my son.

    This reminds me of older EA arcade titles. It has a lot in common mechanically with EA Grand Slam Tennis. It is easy to pick up and play, harder to master.

    Swing mode is not quite as responsive as you want it to be. That said, it is even easier to understand than Switch Sports tennis. It is good for young children or elderly.

    The single player rpg mode is only about 3 hours long. It is really just a tutorial.

    That said the gameplay is magic! The court is smaller than Mario Tennis Aces and it gives it a sense of tension and quick rally’s. Much like how NBA Jam shrinks the court versus NBA 2k.

    Honestly, if this game gets a patch to fix online with friends and adds a little more content via free DLC, this is probably a Top 3-4 Switch 2 First party title.

    The family friendly pick up and play nature of the matches reminds me more of Mario Kart 8 deluxe than Mario tennis Aces.

    This is a separate question. How do you compare BG3 to Original Sin 2? Pro’s and Con’s of both? My son has NS2 and is a college student. Was waiting for BG3, but maybe I’ll get him Original Sin 2?

    My household makes a soup once a week in the Fall thru the early Spring.

    All are homemade. Some of our favorites:

    -Chicken and wild rice. (Essentially, a chicken noodle, with rice instead of noodles).
    -Seafood Chowder
    -Spicy Sausage, Potato, and Kale soup.
    -Cheddar Broccoli
    -homemade Tomato soup w/ oven roasted tomatoes.
    -Venison Chili
    -Beef chili
    -White chicken chili
    -Pho (slightly altered recipe, without star of anise).

    At least two or three of these are made monthly. These are the most consumed, in our house.

    I purchased a Nintendo Switch 2 earlier this year. My nieces, nephews (young kids) and older kids (high school and college age).

    I purchased several games. Mario Kart, DK, Yakuza, Sonic Racing, Persona 3R, Madden, Nickelodeon fighters, NBA 2k and Pokemon ZA.

    I am not a big gamer anymore. That said, I play a bit with the younger kids.

    I can honestly say, Pokemon ZA is the most fun first party game on NS2. I have never played a pokemon game previously, so this is no comparison to previous entries.

    The simple battle mechanic is extremely fun and engaging. If you are not hung up on the graphics, it is very fun to play with the kids. I am told Pokemon ZA will connect to Pokemon Champions? If this is true, then there is incentive to play and catch as many as you can.

    I can not judge the story, but the kids are really enjoying it. The battle mechanics are fun. It is the NS2 game I am most pleased with published by Nintendo.

    I couldn’t afford a SNES as a kid and had a Sega. I always wanted to play Shining Force and never did. I always heard great things!

    Even though I am not well versed on today’s games. I was very well versed up until the original Xbox. Chrono Trigger is one of the GOATS. Made by a dream team at the time! It is a shame, it never got a modern remake!

    It released very late in the SNES lifespan. Right around the time PlayStation was arriving on the scene.

    For a time it was considered the greatest game of all time. Back prior to Zelda OoT.
