This was such a surprise. My family and I kept guessing names: Pokécraft, Pokémon: New Horizons, Pokemon Crossing. Everything about this (except the name) looks great.

Even the name might grow on me.

Looks like Minecraft with pokemon elements. Hopefully mojang doesn't sue for infringement.

This game does not look interesting. The only thing it has going for it is the Pokemon, currently

Zero reason for this to be exclusive on Switch 2 if not to give sales to the console

Perhaps they want the extra system resources to have a larger and more dynamic world?

Agreed.

They made New Horizons work as well as it did by constraining the size of the island and making the camera only point in one direction. The backs of the trees don’t even exist.
