At first I thought, not another Mario game, but after the direct, I want this game!

Gonna get this for my kids (and me). Was thinking about doing the vouchers, but I need another newbie/kid friendly title.

I still haven't finished BOTW, and do not currently have the time to, so TOTK is out. I have 2 girls and a boy, all elementary age. They're getting pretty decent at MarioKart, but that's about the only game they play outside of the silly stuff on the kid tablets.

Are there any current or upcoming titles that would make the voucher purchase worth it? They're good for 12 months after purchase.

I hear Pikmin 4 is good.

And not new, but both Mario Odyssey and Metroid Dread would be fantastic choices.

Thanks. Is Splatoon something a relative novice would enjoy? They love racing on MarioKart with or without me.

ETA: Just watched a trailer for Pikmin. That might be really good. Thanks for that one.

Splatoon 2 and 3 are good, but may be difficult for kids that are new to games. The main focus of the games is online multiplayer, but there is also a single player campaign.

Here are some other recommendations.
Mario Party Superstars
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Super Mario 3D World
Luigi's Mansion 3
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Thanks!!! After watching the trailers for Pikmin and Mario Party, I think I'm down to those two. Probably go Mario since my youngest loves watching the videos of people playing that game.

Excited for this. May not get it on release day, but looking forward to another 2D scroller.

Been excited for this one, wish it had come out last week so I could have played on my flights but probably best enjoyed on a tv screen any way

I went out and picked this up at lunch. Lady at Walmart said it was flying off the shelves. She knew what I was going to get as soon as I said "need to get a switch game."

I've played half a dozen levels, and so far it is very easy but it does feel like a continuation of the Mario games I grew up on. I've got Hades and Luigi's Mansion 3 games going right now for my October Halloween spirit, but I'm excited to take a break to dig into Wonder more this weekend.

I got the game this morning at Best Buy, and played the first few levels. Really fun so far! Elephant Mario is awesome!

An updated review:

My wife is out of town, so I sat down to play around 6:30 last night. When I looked up it was 1am. It felt like I was 10 again and had just gotten back from Blockbuster. I must have said "just one more level" a dozen times last night.

This game is awesome and I take back what I said earlier about it being too easy. The difficulty ramps up to somewhere just below or maybe even right at par with early games. Some of the wonder parts make it feel like your brain is melting. Think of Mario gameplay at Sonic game speed.

The physics feel really smooth to me. there are some areas that require you to be very precise and to learn platform/enemy patterns.

Two nitpicks: the music is satisfactory but it's not a standout soundtrack, and the power ups feel a little less useful and/or broken. You aren't flying in one of your bubbles to the end of the level like you could with the cape in SMW.

Im looking forward to my niece coming over for Tgiving. Her folks really only let her play wholesome games so we've bonded over Mario and Zelda in the past couple of years. I can't wait to try out multiplayer with her.

Sounds like a lot of fun, I'll get there at some point but that means I'll have to stop playing Tears of the Kingdom which I'm not quite ready to do.

I've played it for maybe 2 hours so far -- I like it. As others have said the wonder scenes are unique and a fun change to the level you are on

Beat the game 100% last night. It's super satisfying. Instant classic and best Mario platformer since Yoshi's Island.

It wouldn't be so bad if, just like every other badge challenge until this one, it didn't burn through lives.

Why does this game even have lives?

Beat the game 100% last week!

Did anyone beat the Final Final Test Badge Marathon on their own offline? I had to play online and take advantage of a standee placed halfway through the Invisibility section to beat it!

Finally finished this myself. I beat the final test offline, but it took me about 4 hours of trying to do so. I found someone spamming emotes during the invisible section, so that seemed to help. But geez, that was brutal.

Final final test was awesome. I did the whole game offline. Spinning in the clouds on that last invisibility section is the only way to go.
