When Nintendo calls, we answer, and this time, they invited us to one of our favorite types of events…one where we get to stay at home in our PJs and play Nintendo Switch!  This is the 2023 Holiday Dad’s Night in with Nintendo!  And we are so excited to tell you how it all went down, what great games we got to play, what cool demos we got to see, what neat stuff they sent us, and just how we did in Super Smash Bros Ultimate!  As always, a massive thank you to Nintendo for having us along for the ride.  We had a blast, and we have so much great Nintendo stuff to tell you about, to get for your litlfamily, this litlholiday!

 

The Night

Nintendo gathered many Dads for this event, and we all had a feast for the eyes!  Nintendo walked us through all of the wonderful (see what I did there) games, consoles, services, and more, that they have out now, and coming soon, to light up your litlholiday tree!  Before we check them out though.  Thank you so much Nintendo for having us to the event in our PJs and sweet new Mario flannel from Cakeworthy.  We saw so many great games, but the highlight was getting to play Smash Bros Ultimate with some of our Nintendo PR friends, and other dads!  We did in fact, Smash, Smash, Smash again.  Dare I say, we won the evening!  It is always so much fun to play Smash Bros online! Let’s check it all out!

Make sure you check out this, and all of the great stuff the litlgeeks have reviewed at http://www.amazon.com/shop/litlgeeks

The litlgeeks are avid Pokémon hunters, since day one of Pokémon Go, and even prior with TCG, and the wonderful series of Pokémon Games.  We are owners of the original Pokémon Go Plus, and we loved it, clicked our buttons bare.  So, when Niantic / Nintendo / The Pokémon Company introduced the Go Plus + to pair with Pokémon Go, and the new Pokémon Sleep, we are all in!  We got one for each family member, and we’ve been using them for a few weeks now.  Let the litlgeeks tell you about them!

litlgeeks / MUReview may receive a small commission from purchases made through links on this page

Pokémon Go Plus +

The Pokémon Go Plus + is a Pokémon capture and sleep tracking device that will pair with your Android or IOS mobile device or tablet to work with Pokemon Go or Pokemon Sleep.  And it’s amazing…

Pokemon Go

  • In Pokémon Go, the Go Plus + will auto catch Pokémon (only using the normal ball)
  • It will spin Poké stops
  • You can use it to manually catch by button press when it detects a Pokémon.  You can change Pokéballs for manual catch
  • There are in game Pokémon Go sleep challenges, and tracking your sleep with the Go Plus + will count towards achieving those goals

Pokemon Sleep

  • Pokémon Sleep is a sleep tracking app / game, that rewards you for tracking your sleep with new Pokémon, new food for your Pokémon, and other fun rewards
  • You track sleep (also applies for Go) by pressing the front button and holding it for a second.  The light will turn blue, and Pikachu will sing you the sweetest version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star that you have ever heard!  You can also change the lullaby song!
  • As long as you sleep for 4 or more hours, you can sync your Go Plus + back to the app for rewards against your sleep – note – the Go Plus + is not required for sleep tracking in the app, you can do so manually by inputting sleep times.  From what I can tell it IS required for Pokémon Go
  • After you track your sleep, you’ll discover new Pokémon, give them biscuits, they will give you back food, that you have to feed to Snorlax.
  • Feed Snorlax enough, and you’ll get to move locations and discover more Pokémon and another Snorlaxs

Pairing

  • Each app will walk you through pairing, but it’s basically press and hold the main button, then press and hold the main and side button and yer done!

Availability

litldecision

The Pokémon Go Plus + is $54.99.  Is it worth it?  Well, we have Go Plus standards, and we upgraded the family.  I have to tell you, for me it was worth it just to have Pikachu sing me a lullaby every night.  Sleep tracking is a little hit or miss, but as long as you are over 4 hours, the game rewards you.  Pokémon catching is definitely helpful in Go, and will be even more helpful during Go Fest, which is TOMORROW! August 18!  Catch Em’ All!

Play Pokemon Go and Pokemon Sleep responsibly and always be aware of your surroundings The Pokemon Go Plus + is for ages 3 and up and should only be used / setup with parents assistance and permission This video is for entertainment purposes only.
