So anki straight up isn’t doing it for me. It’s kinda too much info for all the decks. I have used. Wanikani sounds really good to me as it sounds like an actuall curriculum.
Is it worth the money?
Will it teach me the all the daily use kanji?
How much do I need to to know to start immersing with baby games (yokai watch and pokemon) and maybe having some simple conversations?
Can I/should I use other resources like genki alongside wanikani?

I think it’s worth the money, if you’re willing to stay dedicated and focused on the material. I would have payed for it, but I get distracted easily, a stray away from it.
Another option is to look at the vocab/kanji available on it, and build your own flashcards using the same style as them.
I spent $300 for the lifetime subscription. I’m on Level 32 out of 60. I think it is worth it. I wanted to read Tobira Gateway to Advanced Japanese, and I was able to do that at Level 30 or so.
I plan to redo it again after I burn everything just to make sure I got it.
Personally, yes.
The first 3 levels of WaniKani are free and will probably take you a few weeks at least. Try it, see what you think. Personally I love it, but different methods work for different learning-styles.
