welcome to smile sunday! turn your caps lock off and rave about whatever has made you smile this week! some things to smile about:

• this year's pokémon day presentation included updates on the previously announced pokémon pokopia and pokémon champions, the upcoming nso release of pokémon xd: gale of darkness, and the announcement of the brand-new pokémon wind & waves, coming to the switch 2 next year!

• resident evil requiem is available now for the switch 2, along with deluxe editions of resident evil 7: biohazard and resident evil village!

• what's this week's haul? what game did you just buy, just start, complete? anything else that made you smile? let us know in the comments below!

turn that frown upside down:

• here on smile sunday, we have one rule: e.l.e., which stands for everybody love everybody. if will ferrell said it, it must be true.

• uppercase letters are strictly forbidden – haha, just kidding! if you wanna do some uppercase, feel free, but try not to angry shout sunday; today is about happiness! (happy and excited shouting is a-ok, though)

• remember when talking about games, especially new ones, to use spoiler tags as appropriate, >!like so!<, so you don't ruin any surprises for anyone!

• this is a happy thread! keep the love flowing! if someone's saying something and you think they're wrong, just let them be happy! anything that's made you unhappy this week can go on over to this week's throwdown thursday thread.
