Let me know in the comments if there’s anything missing or mistake in the post, or if you would like any change.
I have been looking forward to checking out Poktopia. And I might give Animal Crossing another whirl on the switch2.
I like the idea of Splatoon, but I never ended up playing them enough to justify buying another.
Splatoon Raiders is a single-player spin-off. So, if you didn’t play the previous games because they were multiplayer games, this can be worth trying.
