When the Nintendo Switch 2 released earlier this year, one of the launch games was the download only Welcome Tour.  It was set up like a museum, and you controlled a little person as they walked around a giant Switch 2 and its accessories.  You could play mini-games, try tech demos, and take quizzes on facts about the new console.  To me, it sounded like a lot of silly, quirky fun.  And I love games that have museums in them, whether it be Namco Museums or Animal Crossing.  There was only one problem.  They charged you for it.  It really should’ve come with the system, and that’s what it’s going to be known for from here on out.  I really wanted to boycott it and not buy it to support that kind of behavior.  But here’s the thing.  I only believe in boycotting if it doesn’t hurt yourself.  And the game still sounded interesting enough to me that I didn’t want to miss out on it.  Life is too short to miss out on what you think is fun.  So I got it.  It was only ten bucks anyway, and I can spend more money than that on fast food!  So I figured I’d take you all on a tour of the Welcome Tour!

My birthday is coming up soon (September 15 to be exact), but the presents are for you!  You get game reviews to read that I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com!  Just what you wanted, right?  Right?  Anyway, please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  And just for fun, why don’t you send me a pretend birthday present in the comments section?  It’s the thought that counts, literally!  OK, let’s begin!

Remember those Tamagotchi virtual pet keychains that were super popular in the late 90s?  Well they’ve never really gone away.  In fact, back on the Nintendo DS, they had a series of games called Tamagotchi Corner Shop, and there were three of them!  You ran little shops and would play touch screen mini-games to serve and help out other Tamagotchi customers.  My brother Jeff and I were weirdly obsessed with those games back in the day, probably because we did like those virtual pets (Jeff was even a Tamagotchi for Halloween one year when he was little).  Well, Tamagotchi Plaza is the sequel to those games, so of course I had to get it.  There are a dozen shops for you to run, and two more if you have the Switch 2 version.  I thought it might be fun to run through the shops in this game, so let’s go!

Mario Kart World was recently released as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title.  I was lucky enough to get a Switch 2, thanks to help from my family.  So let’s take a road trip tour at all the tracks you can race on in the game.  So grab your road trip snacks and let’s roll!

Around this time of year, I like to make a list of my best games SO FAR, because usually the AAA titles are released later in the year during the holiday season, and the titles that came out earlier tend to be forgotten.  So here’s when those games get their due.  Keep in mind that this is my list only and no other outside opinions contributed.  And if a game isn’t on this list, it either just didn’t appeal to me as much or I haven’t had a chance to play it yet.  Ok with that out of the way, let’s begin!
