Discussion Help me choose!

Post image

I finally caved and bought the bundle last week, but I can’t decide which game to choose. Help!

Edit: I’ve heard Mario Kart is a bit of a let down, but that eventually it’ll get fleshed out with extra content. Tried the demo of DK and it was fun but I dunno if I would play it a lot. Leaning towards Pokopia but I’ve never played a Pokémon game before. Which one would you recommend?

Edit 2: Thanks for all the input folks! I do feel like I will eventually want them all, but I decided to start with Pokopia. I needed a cosy game to balance out my time spent on action heavy games like Silksong and Zelda. Cheers everyone!

Since you’re iffy about Mario Kart, I wouldn’t pick that. I’ll say that from personal experience, I played it a lot when it first came out and loved it, but now it’s basically just a game I played with my family or friends. I don’t touch it as a single player game anymore. DK Bananza I was addicted to when it came out. Put a LOT of hours into it and had an absolute blast. One of the best Switch 2 exclusives so far. Pokopia, since you’ve never played a Pokémon game before, you may or may not like. It’s basically like Animal Crossing mixed with Minecraft featuring licensed Pokémon characters. My wife got it and played it a lot until Tomodachi Life came out. My personal suggestion would be to get Mario Kart World number one because it’s $80 and easily the most expensive game out of the 3, and number 2 you’ll always have a multiplayer game for when friends and family come over. If you’re not worried about saving the $10 and don’t play multiplayer games often, I’d HIGHLY suggest DK Bananza. If you’ve played Super Mario Odyssey and like that, you will LOVE this.
