  7. I am most excited for F1 24 for Xbox because I am a fan of car racing games and this one looks amazing.

  13. I’m very excited about Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door because of its unique mechanics, charming characters, and nostalgic feel.

  14. I’m excited for the release of Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. I loved playing the last version with my husband and can’t wait to try some new challenges with my little nephews.

  18. our grand kids love super mario so the game we would pick is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door cause we know they would love it as well

  20. Nintendo World Championships NES Edition Deluxe Set
    simply because I’ve grown up playing the NES

  22. There are three games I’d love to play, Star Wars Outlaws, Spider-Man 2, and Smurfs Village Party. But I would play Smurfs with my child, which would be so much more fun.

  24. You know I’m a multi console gamer, but haven’t been able to pickup a PS5 slim, so ideally I’d love to win one of those.

  30. I’m most excited about the upcoming game Rise of the Ronin available at Best Buy. The game’s deep storyline, rich cultural setting, and dynamic gameplay mechanics make it a standout title to me.

  32. I’m most excited about Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door because I love anything Mario related. So fun for the whole family.

  35. Honestly, was surprised to discover that Best Buy carries 8BitDo controllers now. So the SN30 Pro+ is up there. It’d complement my Switch nicely.

    But really, got to go with the PlayStation 5 Slim. Better form factor and retains disc functionality? Best of both worlds

  36. I’d love to play Paper Mario The Thousand -Year Door . It sounds like it would be so much fun to play.

  39. Spider-Man 2 for its exhilarating web-swinging mechanics, dynamic combat, and immersive storyline that truly makes you feel like the iconic superhero in an expansive open-world New York City.

  41. I cannot wait to find the time to get my hands on Tears of the Kingdom. It’s been too long since I played my last Zelda.

  42. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door sounds like something that we would enjoy. Using a map and having locals help locate items is perfect fun.

  43. I’m going with Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, since I really enjoyed the manga and this one has one of the biggest casts yet.

  45. Still haven’t upgraded my Day One XB1. Couldn’t pull the trigger on next gen yet. Although, I’ve been slowly leaning towards PS with the exclusives list being better. Especially with games like Spider-man and Ghosts of Tsushima that I’ve wanted to play for a long time now.

  46. I’m a XBox fan from day one. Browsing the games and equipment for the XBox, I just found out that Thrustmaster is making a Racing Wheel for Xbox Series. I’ll be playing racing games again (my last wheel was on the XBox 360).
