  3. thePaper Mario The Thousand-Year Door remaster sound like crazy fun. I need some fun!

  8. I can’t wait to play the new Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remaster! I grew up playing it over and over on the GameCube, so being able to play it again 20 years later in HD, with all the gaming enhancements Nintendo made, I’m excited!

  12. Would love to play this game -Star Wars Outlaws Gold Edition (PS5). It looks really exciting and nostalgic at the same time.

  13. I am excited about Rise of the Ronin (PS5), it looks to have terrific levels of game play.

  14. Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 – Gold Edition is the game I’m interested in because it looks so good and it fits my gaming genre.

  15. Meta Quest 3! VR has been a dream of mine since childhood. With some of my friends already owning it, we’d be able to team up and co-op in VR, making that childhood dream a reality!!

  16. The new Paper Mario Thousand Year Door looks like so much fun! I would LOVE to win the Nintendo prize pack. I miss having a console at home

  17. Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – for me – we play video games as a family and my girls would LOVE this one.

  22. Honestly it would be the PlayStation 5. We have the Xbox and switch already so getting another one would be fun but less cool than another console with new games.

  23. Honestly it would be the PlayStation 5 pack. We have the Xbox and switch already so getting another one would be fun but less cool.

  24. I absolutely cannot wait to try the new Meta Quest 3 VR headset. I have owned many VR headsets before, including the Meta Quest 2, but the lenses and panels in the Quest 3 seem absolutely incredible.

    The level of immersion VR brings to video games cannot be matched by any other medium. The future is beyond exciting.

  25. My husband used to paint space marines so Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 – Gold Edition.

  26. I’m very excited to see how Assassins creed shadows will be. Japan is a very interesting location and if it’s done right I think it could be pretty cool. peace and love to all of you 🙂
