    No, i appreciate the recommendation. I have been sick for days and will be off work until at least next week. I have put on Ancient Aliens and just let it play half the day.

    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?

    I agree. We do make this in the winter. Good call.

    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!

    I agree with your picks. I would tell you also to add Phantasy Star IV.

    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.

    So is Luigi mansion 2 or 3 better? I always thought those games were aimed at the 10 year old to 15 year old audience? Or approximately. About he same as the Splatoon audience.

    I understand. But as kids do, the young ones want “everything”. So, it is easier if I pick stuff for my home, and have a variety for all these different ages.

    Honestly, if you all have games to STAY AWAY FROM as well, i will take those recommendations. Thanks.

    I also like having the library, because it takes the children’s minds off of what their parent is going thru.

    Edit: my wife was anti the Switch 2 at first, but now she agreed. So i watched the Nintendo Direct and saw the games coming.
    But i am more interested in the games out this year, hoping I won’t need to pay attention in 2026 to Nintnedo.

    Hello everyone,

    Gamers’ I need your advice. Due to a serious family illness, my nieces and nephews age 4 to 15 will be spending a lot of time at my home for the foreseeable future.

    I also have a college age kid, who is home occasionally and will play a few sports games and fighting games. He is head of the Fighting Game club at his universities club.

    I am looking to entertain the kids as we move towards winter and also keep my house in one piece.

    I purchased a NS2 w/ Mario Kart World, Minecraft, Shinobi, SFVI, NBA 2k26, Star Wars Outlaws and BoTW.

    I am going to purchase a few more Switch 2 titles and a few Switch 1 games. (Hopefully on a B2G1) sale. I do not need to purchase all at once. Likely, I’ll buy 1 or 2 a month. Or hope for a b2g1 sale.

    I am LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS from everyone.

    I already preordered Dragon Quest 1&2HD2D and Mario Galaxy 2.

    Games I am considering.

    Luigi mansion 3
    Sonic racing Cross World
    Persona 3 reload
    Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (you can play as Peach?)
    Mortal Kombat Collection
    Madden or EA FC
    Metroid Prime 4 ( I don’t know what to make of this game. Is it Metroid BoTW?)
    Bomberman R
    Paper Mario Thousand year door
    Links awakening or echoes of wisdom?

    I am looking to have some variety so there is something for everyone.

    These kids already have a Switch 1 w/ mario kart 8D, smash, Mario 3d World, Minecraft and a bunch of Kirby games.

    Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance!

    Side note: My kids had a Wii U when they were young and i am somewhat familiar with those games.

    I actually think for the high school and college age audience this could be a low key hit for the holidays.
