Easter is upon us, so that must mean it's time for an extended Bank Holiday weekend. For those with a little free time to spare over the next few days, it's time to jump back into best of past times - a good game or two! This weekend, Team Nintendo Life is playing some Neo Geo classics, an N64 throwback, plenty of Switch triple-A hits, and yes, plenty of Splatoon 2.
As always, be sure to leave a vote or three in the poll, and drop us a comment beneath the article with your personal picks. Have a great weekend!

It's Easter, so naturally to mark the occasion I'm going to be spending my designated gaming time on ARMS. It's surprised me, I didn't think it would keep dragging me back to it. I just wish more people could get involved with it.
Sweet gravy, I've just realised that Global Testounch is happening THIS WEEKEND! Download it now and play some serious ARMS before I hunt you all down individually and glue your Joy-Con to your hands so it's the only Switch game you can play. I also might play Kirby Star Allies.

I’ve completely lost myself in Skyrim! While I’ve played it through a couple of times already, I’ve never quite invested in it like I have this time. Maybe it’s because games are rarely made like this anymore, but I’m blown away by the intricate lore! While I usually can’t wait for conversations to end in games, I’m finding myself hungry to find out what everyone thinks of the war.
I want to know why the Thalmor banned Talos worship, why the Stormcloaks are so miffed with the Imperials, and what the deal with the Forsworn is. I’m even stretching that curiosity to the world around me, exploring every dungeon and city. There’s a story to everything in Skyrim, and I’m enjoying it way more this time around because I’m open to listening to it. It’s an absolutely wonderful game, and all the better that I can take it everywhere with me. Maybe that’s all it needed for me to treat it this way?

This weekend, I've finally succumbed and I'll delve deeper into SteamWorld Dig 2. I have to be honest, it has taken an hour or so to kick in, but it is getting better and better. Cool abilities to earn, neat little puzzles and some gorgeous environments to discover.
Other than that, I took a punt on North. Although it's going to not be everyone's cup of tea, nor has it got the highest of production values, it is certainly atmospheric and an interesting concept, both in terms of narrative and its mechanics. For those looking waiting for Inside, I reckon it's worth the asking price.

To make the most of the four-day Bank Holiday here in the UK, I'll be focussing my attention on replaying parts of Shadow Bug for the purposes of our review that's going live shortly. The Science Museum in London is hosting its annual 'Power Up' gaming event this weekend whereby guests are invited to sample some of the 180+ gaming consoles from past and present.
I'll be hopping on a train to geek out for the whole of Sunday at this popular event, so that should be fun. Splatoon 2 online Turf War will, as standard, get rinsed... providing they have a good enough Wi-Fi connection at the museum.

After banging on and on about it for the majority of these features - I do like other games, too, I promise! - I’ve finally jumped back into Splatoon 2, playing countless games long into the early hours of the morning until my body finally wants to sleep.
It has reminded me just how special the game is – there aren’t many games that can consistently fill me with such adrenaline and excitement with every match – and I’d love to be able to play the game at a higher level. If any of you lovely readers have any competitive advice or tips, make sure to send them my way!

New content for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Attack On Titan 2 and Splatoon 2 coupled with this week releases of TENGAI, Sengoku 3, Lode Runner Legacy and the silly addictive Gotcha Racing 2nd adds up to only thing: Good luck trying to get me to leave the house this Easter holiday.
Oh wait, the Nintendo Switch IS portable… I keep forgetting we live in the future. Do you reckon people would get mad if I keep playing Switch during Ready Player One local screening? Because that would be so meta!
Tony Stephenson, social media manager
I have a busy weekend seeing it is Easter, you know stuff with the family, blah blah so not going to much playing time this weekend. Tonight (Friday) I am playing in a Splatoon 2 match again in the NPUK Squid League. We won last week so we are all buzzing at the moment.
Saturday, I will be busy all day, but Sunday I am hoping to get into some puzzling action with Toki Tori. It's the perfect time to collect eggs I suppose so looking forward to playing the game for the first time. I have been getting nostalgia feels looking at the game as I used to play Chuckie Egg – Google it – back when I was a kid.

This weekend I'll be playing through Banjo-Kazooie again with my eldest son. Okay, technically we won't be doing it on a Nintendo platform, but it's an N64 classic so I'm allowed some leeway (especially since I wrote about how much I want to see the series return to Nintendo).
I'll also continue playing through Warp Shift (review will be up on Nintendo Life next week), as well as jumping back into Splatoon 2 for a little Turf War action. As someone that plays a lot of shooters I don't give this paint-happy romp anywhere near enough time, so I'll attempt to splat my way to victory before the extended weekend draws to a close.

Hmmm... Tried the ARMS event, before the discount on the full game ends. It's enjoyable, and I'm sure the online ranked battles are a riot. Not sure there's enough there for me, though. Back to Xenoblade Chronicles 2, with the odd burst of Tengai, then.
I finished the main story on Disgaea 5 yesterday (100 hours) so now I'm starting the post game content.
I finally got back to Layton’s Mystery Journey, the Katrielle game. It hasn’t hooked me like previous Layton adventures, but I’ve warmed up to it.
I’m playing pokemon gold and the legend of zelda (link’s awakening and oracle of seasons) on my new gameboy player add on for my gamecube.
It’s a poor list of games, which I’m ok with, but let’s not kid ourselves, it’s a quiet week. My Switch won’t get turned on this weekend as I intend to have a lot of chocolate and coffee (and a few beers), but should I feel the need, I’ll check out my latest download ... Doom
I'll be playing "Where is my Pikachu?" Out now for PS4 and XBox One. No Nintendo release, because it got canceled last minute before release day by NISA.
Finally got round to trying out ARMS with the Test-Punch, which was fun...BUT...it never really clicked for me. It felt like playing Street Fighter but only playing as Dhalsim! Will probably give it another shot over the weekend though while it's available.
The Binding Of Isaac. Still. Over 350 hours now... I just can't put the game down. Am currently trying to get all hard completion marks with The Lost. Am currently on a losing streak of -80!
Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Still. Christ that game is long.
More Payday 2 heists, more Titans to drop in AoT2, some punchy action with Arms, and some Kirby.
Doom, Mutant Mudd Collection and Skyrim. (And Far Cry 5 for PS4). I’ve played through Doom before, just trying on a harder difficulty. Just 100%’d the first in Mutant Mudds, looking forward to grinding at the super challenge levels, and I’m still doing my first playthrough of Skyrim ever.
I need to break my FIFA addiction as I'm in a pit of despair of a losing streak. I'd like to play some ARMS but will no doubt lose most of those bouts too, so will fall back on Splatoon 2 for some light relief.
1. Portal Knights Switch.
Trying to plant different plants and trees on different Biomes.
2. ARMS
Online Play as usual.
3. Animal Crossing New Leaf 3DS
Still Day & Date Maintenances for my 4 game copies.
4. Overcooked Special Edition Switch
Try to unlock some Level 5 areas. It will gonna be tough...
Well, up until recently, I had no idea the Jak & Daxter games were available on PS4, and at the time I found out, the Jak Bundle was on sale... SCORE! I blasted through the first game with 100%, but I remember Jak 2 being a bit longer, barely scratched the surface of Jak 3, and didn't know Jak X Racing even existed. I might get back to Kirby as well, and next weekend, I'll be going back to Splatoon 2 for the Splatfest. Go, Team Baseball!
@Aven
Glad to see some love for Disgaea 5 here, this title is a Switch' hidden gem no one cares of. Best TRPG on platform so far, tons of in-game content, fun story, great music & adorable Prinnies, dood.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 on PC, Thimbleweed Park on Switch, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze on WiiU!
Atelier.never played one before. Hope its good
Monster Hunter World. 400 hours in!! I can't stop playing this game. Sorry, Switch.
Every time I start playing Splatoon 2 I can't stop!
I've been taking my Switch everywhere to play Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. I enjoyed the first, but I'm absolutely crazy for this one. The portability might be a factor.
NLife Forum High Score Challenge this week is Moon Patrol.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Toki Tori.
@Ooyah
The Lost drove me nearly insane on 3DS (but you didn't start with Holy Mantle back then...)
@DockEllisD : Me too! ACA Punch-Out was my first Japanese eShop purchase. While the controls could be tighter, it is awesome to finally have this at home. Kid Quick and his Don Flamenco ways are giving me fits ATM. Good luck!
Yoshi’s Woolly World will be finished this weekend, come rain or shine
This weekend it'll be, Retro City Rampage DX, and Toki Tori.
Ill be playing Rocket League! Im getting those Nice limited items!
Maybe this weekend, or this coming week will be when I hook up my Gamecube. I'll be playing other GC games besides, but mainly the Primes.
Unrelated Note: You can no longer add Wii points to a Wii shop account, but any points you have can be spent, until January 2019. I really hope Nintendo re-releases the Art Style games, perfectly ported to a newer format, since I missed the chance to d/l Orbient. Same thing for other WiiWare titles, & eventually DSi titles, too. Which reminds me, I really want the Hanenbow stage back in Smash. But I digress... like Blathers.
Anyway, everyone have a great weekend, happy Resurrection Sunday, God bless, & enjoy!
Finishing steamworld heist on switch. Love this game. Top 5 the year it came out on 3ds.
Recently started Assassin's Creed Origins on PC and The Fall Part 2: Unbound on Switch, so i'll be sticking with those two.
I`m playing Yo-kai Watch now and later or tomorrow I`ll play some Logo City Undercover, i think 15 dollars is a steal, So now i`ll play for the first time as Chase
@Appleflap I`m such a boob, I bought a car painting thinking it was a car, wasted 35 points lol
@Tibob
I must admit that I would stand no chance as The Lost without the Holy Mantle! Overall, though, in Afterbirth+... I find the Keeper the hardest character. No completion marks with him yet at all, not even on Normal.
Working on my second playthrough of Breath of the Wild. Headed to my third Divine Beast.
I’m hoping to 100% Kirby by using Gooey’s weird range of abilities to finish the Soul Melter difficultly of The Ultimate Choice (which is the only difficult part of that entire game). Other than that, I plan on spending some quality time with the final DLC pack of Fire Emblem Fates as well as making some progress in Detective Pikachu and hopefully really sinking some time into Fe, which is just so utterly charming.
Axiom Verge, Kirby, Fe, Yooka Laylee and Snake Pass Arcade.
Atelier Lydie and Suelle, maybe some ARMS with my spawn.
I'm gonna play the ARMS Testpunch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mutant Mudds. And I'm probably gonna get Fe, Kamiko, Snake Pass and SteamWorld Dig, because they are currently with a discount :v
I am going to restart BotW from scratch.
Hey Pikmin, and really enjoying it. I feel a lot of the mediocre reviews were quite unfair to it
Started Owlboy the other day and I'm quite far into it already, thoroughly enjoying it, great game. I'll be playing some of that as well as the incredible Tengai,an unbelievably good shoot-em-up. I'll also be playing Gotcha Racing 2nd which has been a nice little surprise, it even has TATE mode. All that as well as the classic Moon Patrol for the new Weekly Challenge. I will fit in some Sengoku 3,Punch Out Arcade and Steredenn:Binary Stars too as well as hopefully finishing off Outlast.
ARMS, Mario Kart 8, and Bayonetta. Some Neo Geo games as well. For PS4- Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, WWE 2K18, Monster Hunter World and I finally started Persona 5. I’ll be on vacation for a week so I’ll definitely have time for these games.
Still Xenoblading up withe Xeno 2. Even whilst moving home; Switch’s hybrid design has been a Godsend! Pretty far into the game and story is developing but then its always “oooh sidequests! Oooh uncharted mountain! Oooh a giant monster thats NOT DEAD!!”
On the Switch it'll be a mix of the Bayonetta games and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. On PS4... Rise of the Tomb Raider and MLB The Show 18 with maybe some Burnout Paradise mixed in.
Far Cry 5 and maybe some Oxenfree/Odyssey for me...
I'm working through Crash N.Sane Trilogy. I 100%ed the first game and am working on the second now. Can't wait to get to the third as it was always my favorite as a child.
I'm also counting the days until God of War. It looks amazing.
Star wars battlefront 2. I'm actually really enjoying it and I'm excited to see what they add in the coming months
Dragon Quest Builders, I picked up Steamworld Dig 2, Doom, Letter Quest in the eshop sale and used my points to purchase Sengoku 3!
My fiancee and I are hooked on co-op in Nine Parchments! Also playing Fire Emblem Warriors on 3DS whenever she's not in the mood to play.
Coin farming in mario.
Got the cube out to play this week. The cube has aged well and wind waker still looks better than before.
I’ll be playing Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. I’m on Chapter 14 and really enjoying it. I’ve already finished Birthright, just need to play through Revelations next.
Edit: Oh and I’ll also be playing some Sea of Thieves here and there. It’s not the best game but my brother really enjoys it so we play together sometimes. It can actually be pretty fun if you have other people to play with but the fetch quests get boring real quick.
I'm gonna play kirby Star allies and Detective pikachu.
@1UP_MARIO great game selection, but I weep for your lack of Star Wars Rogue Squadron II and III, but not everyone loves lasering TIE fighters for hours like me. Have fun!
Playing A Way Out on Xbox One with my visiting brother, drinking scotch, while our wives laugh at our failures at sneaking.
@Alikan lol. I had a lot more cube games in the past but friends and family like losing things. I still have games with cases missing in the attic
Looking to play Splatoon 2, some ARMS (free event) and some Slay Away Camp.
Went back to Skyrim now that I finished LA Noire.
Windows Phone:
Angry Birds Star Wars
Make It Rain: The Love of Money
Dragon Mania Legends
I'm soooo close to beating Mario + Rabbids so that'll be completed within the next couple of days. I also plan to finish Yooka-Laylee (got it on Steam for $13 last week) and I actually really like it. No idea when I'll beat it, but I'm having fun with it so I'll be playing it throughout the week.
@1UP_MARIO That is such a good collection! I just beat Mario Sunshine a couple weeks back and seeing all of your games makes me want to play through Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, or The Thousand Year Door again!
@1UP_MARIO I hear that. I used to have Midway Arcade Classics, the Megaman Collection, and Medal of Honor Rising Sun on Gamecube. Lent them to a friend who moved away without informing me. Rebought Midway Arcade and Rising Sun for Xbox. He also borrowed my copy of Rogue Squadron III. Had to buy a new used copy of that one.
@wiggleronacid I did the other two. I’m just going through wind waker
Had majoras mask for years but never played it. But its magical,
Arms test punch & Enter the Gungeon
I'm bouncing between Detective Pikachu and Splatoon (nearly to level 20).
Oh yeah, and Pokemon Go. The Mew Quests dropped yesterday.
Playing Ultra Street Fighter 2. Wouldn't have paid $40 for it but my son got it from a friend as a birthday gift and we are having a blast with it! This will hold me over nicely until Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection in May.
I'll keep playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I'm 75 hours in and in Chapter 6 by now, and I keep discovering new things.
In addition to starting KSA (excited!), I’ll definitely get some Sonic Mania, Real Bout Fatal Fury, and (in honor of opening day this week) 2020 Super Baseball in the mix.
100%ing d5, skyrim and i am setsuna.
maybe going to finish xenoblade 2.
gotta love rpg's
I would love a weekend of nothing but gaming, but those are few and far between. Hopefully I'll have a chance to play EarthLock some and if I have extra time I may play some Splatoon2 solo missions and maybe even some Odyssey. I'd like to devote more time too both since Ive barely played either
Just bought Dragon Quest Builders so I hope to play a lot of that this weekend.
I'll be playing Final Fantasy XV and A Link to the Past this weekend
I’m playing the amazing, the addictive, Monster hunter freedom unite on my iPad Air 2 with a controller.
This would be my most played game if it was on switch even though it’s an older game now it absolutely rocks.
Especially overcoming a really powerful monster after a 40 minute battle lol epic
Far Cry 5
@1UP_MARIO Mmm, you're set for a long time.
I'm still playing the extra content on MGS2 HD (finished my most recent replay of the main game a week or so back). I'm also playing through the Mega Man Game Boy games on my 3DS. (I'm on MMIII right now.) Hope to play some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online, too.
The Count Lucanor
Thimbleweed Park
Implosion
Fire Emblem Warriors
Uncharted
Punch Out arcade
Posted something similar in the Currently Playing thread on the forum.
Probably going to be busy for the most part, so essentially it will be some Rocket League and its Spring event. However, most of my free time may be spent mastering a character on Battlerite on the PC.
I myself will be playing the brilliantly addictive Enter The Gungeon! Lots of the games above are great too though.
Got started on Golf Story, so I'll be playing that. Maybe a bit of Rocket League or Splatoon 2 as well.
My Sunday is booked full of family gatherings and the usual Easter activities, so most of my gaming will be done today. I already fired up Super Mario 64 on my Wii U for about an hour earlier and went crazy in what is to date my favorite course in the game: Boo's Haunt! My time this evening will be devoted to Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest; I'm poised to start Chapter 23 and may also do the paralogue for Kaze's child.
This weekend's probably going to be a bit light on gaming since I'm working most of today, and visiting relatives tomorrow. Might bring my Switch with me to play a bit of RIVE or the Pokken Tournament demo with the family. I'm tempted to hop into the ARMS Testpunch, but an experience player versus new players would probably be discouraging. If I do, I'll make sure just to mess around.
Thinking about hopping into one of my unplayed 3DS titles, but I think I'll give the old dog a bit of a break-just burned through the last of Kirby's Mass Attack (a DS title, but still good) and I want to focus more on Switch for now.
Going through owlboy ( the gameplay is a lot bit off for me), some tropical freeze demo and Nintendo multiplayer roaster @insomnia62. Oh and also the champion prize on arms tournament on the show
I got back to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 because of the DLC quests, Splatoon 2 because of Piranha Pit returning and Fire Emblem Warriors because of the Awakening DLC.
Light gaming this weekend, finishing up OPUS: Rocket of Whispers, and chipping away at Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
Fire Emblem Warriors, Splatoon 2, and probably Fire Emblem
I’m having a family weekend at my Dad’s, but I picked up Steredenn and Crypt Of The Necrodancer just before traveling so I’m trying to sneak in a few runs when I can
Assassin's Creed Curse of the pharaohs dlc ps4.
I've gone back to playing my Wii U
Been on a Nintendo break lately. Been playing Assassins Creed Rogue Remastered, Burn out Paradise Remastered, and some Far Cry 5, all games I wish were on switch
@IceClimbers Golf Story is great!
I though in get atelier Lydie & Suelle but i saw that its connected to the two previous titles so I had to buy Atelier Sophie on steam, then I will Play firis on PC too and finally Lydie & Suelle on the Switch. Also playing Nights of Azure on pc so I can play nights of azure 2 on switch after I finish the first.
@Ahlvin23. Same, I was thinking about getting it as well, but having never played one, I'm scared of flushing 60 bucks down the drain....
With the family in town for Easter it will be Mutant Football League and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for me this weekend.
gave rocket league a spin again... still suck at it, I'm horrible. back to splatoon 2
@FoxyGlen I know what you mean with Skyrim I tried it several times last gen but it didn't mesh with me. Now that I am playing it on the Switch I am loving it, I don't want to stop which is great cause I don't have to with it being able to go portable.
Just finished the loooooong chapter 4 in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Gonna put a few more hours into the game this easter holiday and maybe I will manage to finish it before the summer. Spicing things up with some splatting and moon hunting too this weekend. Might try out Arms again as well, but I have enough multiplayer fun on my Switch with Splatoon 2, so Arms has never been considered for purchase. Not even Rocket League. Maybe Fortnite if that eventually comes...
I'm happy to see Xenoblade is still getting played... I'm almost embarrassed that I haven't best it yet, but I've been working over 60 hours a week for 6 months.
I also love that Splatoon 2 is the top vote getter every week.
I bought Aegis Defenders on the sale and played with my wife. Promising so far. I'm considering buying SteamWorld Heist while it's still on sale.
Elder scrolls Skyrim on Steam. Also Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES mini.
I’m going to finish it soon I think.
Xenoblade X, Odyssey, Arms Testpunch.
Mlb 18 the show, and secret of Mana on my snes classic.
Final Fantasy III Brave New World!
A lot of punchout arcade. Bald bull just kicking my butt. Also playing arms as well.
Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Stardew Valley Tried ARMS today, it was a good workout because I was punching the air way too hard!
Arms! I am the Champion!
@Zenarium
Keep trying! You’re probably better than you think. This game has been out for nearly a year now, so naturally the people online have gotten pretty good. The learning curve is short, hang in there. If I see you online, I’ll watch your back! Lol
More Zelda for me, still need to finish the Champions DLC and am trying to upgrade all my armour sets.
Still working on L.A. noire this weekend, really want to finish and then maybe move onto Zelda or Skyrim
I'm finally finishing up Mighty Switch Force 1. Gonna tackle the bonus levels after that
I beat the OG SteamWorld Dig this morning, and I'm downloading LEGO City Undercover as I type this, but otherwise the usual ARMS and Splatoon 2.
Everyone stay safe and have a blessed Easter! 😁
@oji it's also one of the only strategy rpgs on the platform. I do wish that square would port games like ff tactics war of the lions to the switch
Enter the Gungeon. I'm hooked. Tried this and Binding of Isaac. BoI was a little too gross for me, but Enter the Gungeon is phenomenal. Still haven't beaten the fourth level yet, though.
Sengoku 3, Metal Slug 3, Super Mario Bros. Arcade, Blossom Tales and Overcooked.
Well, a bit of Ni No Kuni 2 on PS4, but I think I'm gonna hold off playing more and just grab on STEAM to play on PC/GPD Win 2 as a hybrid form of the game. Need portability or I lose interest in RPG's, need to play while I have Netflix on.
Also got Attack On Titan 2 and Atelier, Lydie & Suelle for Switch.
But really it's the calm before the storm for me. I'm waiting for May 4th to set off the insanity of DKC Tropical Freeze, and Dark Souls Remastered which my bro has vowed to help me play through online, and which I promised I'd get into if it ever came to Switch. Plus Mega Man and Street Fighter Collections and BlazBlue and Hyrule Warriors. Lots of good stuff in May.
Ni No Kuni 2. I'm on the last chapter now but I've been so OCD with the kingdom building that I don't know when I'll finish. Hopefully before Battle Chasers is out on Switch. Also Moon Patrol and maybe finish off Bayonetta 2.
Splatoon 2 like always and I bought Mummy Demastered because of the discount. I'm really impressed by this game, it's a lot of fun. And Steredenn!
@KingdomHeartsFan You'll have a good time with this one! They cover just about everything in Super (including the last saga). Dimps did a good job developing this game.
Still Monster Hunter World... I might have a problem.... SOS!
Super Mario Odyssey: Great to jump back in this game. I know Im late, but, Luigi's Balloon World, which is really fun.The new costumes are pretty cool too.
I also grabbed Mario+Rabbids and Rayman Legends from Bestbuy eariler in the week, and should be in the mail today.
Along with Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, I'm playing the original Legend of Zelda on the 3ds virtual console. It's the closest thing I have to playing Breath of the Wild.
I am Setsuna (after finally deciding to get it on switch and not ps4) and Cat Ques. 😸😸
I thought that I would be playing Punch Out for the weekend, but.....this game hasn’t stood the test of time nearly as well as its successors! It’s nigh impossible to tell when your opponent is going to throw a punch, the button commands occasionally do not register, and it doesn’t have nearly the same level of strategy that the series is known for. I don’t regret the download, but it didn’t do much for me. Back to Golf Story. 😁
I've been playing Rocket League on PC sooo much. Can't wait to get a Switch. I should really try and finish BotW on Wii U...I've finished all the Guardians, but I want to finish some more overworld stuff before I take on Ganon...
@iLikeUrAttitude Playing it on 3DS finally allowed me to beat it...although I can't help but use save states and look stuff up when playing retro games such as LOZ. As a kid I would just play again, and again and again, just to memorize everything. Now, I'd rather just experience it, lol. How do you play? I've beat every Zelda except for Zelda II, Triforce Heroes (sold my 3DS before it came out), and almost finished Crossbow Training.
Im playing Batman telltale
Tried the Arms event & really liked it, might get the full game, and I've also been playing some more Lego marvel super heroes 2 as I need to unlock a few more characters!
Been playing Super Mario Odyssey... ON MY OWN SWITCH! Finally got one last weekend so we now have two in our house, are you happy Nintendo?! Lol I downloaded DOOM as soon as I got it but I want to finish up Odyssey before I get properly stuck in. Creeping up on 900 Power Moons... have no idea how I'm going to do that skipping rope one though...
If I can tear myself away from the DQ Builders demo long enough, I'll be checking out Arms.
Head deep into Breath of the Wild. Will play a bit of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe too.
Getting back into some golf story this weekend! I love this game 😊
@OldMcGroin I’ve barely even started it! 😭 I’ve got a long way to go lol
I just got Splatoon 2 so I'll be playing that a lot this weekend. Also playing ARMS with the free testfire, not a bad game at all, really fun but not sure if it would keep me interested as long as Splatoon and Splatoon 2 have.
Playing Final Fantasy 15 on PC mainly, but gonna find sometime to mess with the new DLC for FE Warriors and fit some turf wars in on Splatoon 2.
Mario's Picross on my 3DS Virtual Console, Doom and Ittle Dew 2+ on my Switch, most likely.
The Easter weekend has been pretty busy for me, so I've only managed to squeeze in a little bit of Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Can’t do much Switch playing until I replace the broken Joycons, so it will be New Leaf and Ultra Moon & Sun for me
Just bought Arms, what an amazing game!!!
Also, the gyro made me finally buy the Doom as well.
I would be playing the Thimbleweed Park the most, but the analog sticks SUCK at point&click games! Gyro as well as secondary pointer for another player would make it perfect.
A bit of Mummy and Owlboy makes a nice break from analog stick puxel hunting frustration.
Been working all weekend. Glad to be off this Sunday. Also just got Splatoon 2 so I'll be on it all day.
Now that I'm finished up with Kirby Star Allies (best Kirby game yet) I'll be diving back into Dragon Quest Builders. I'm halfway through the second chapter.
I still need to finish Xenoblade Chronicles. I'm on chapter six but needed to take a break and play something else as it is such a time consuming game.
And I've actually been thinking about playing some Breath of the Wild. I've finished the main game, cleared all 120 shrines and beaten both DLC packs but there's still quite a few side quests that I haven't done and even though it's been months since I last played it, it keeps calling me back.
@Matthewxcv Nice avatar LOL
@Nomad Well thank you. xD
I'm playing Monster Hunter Stories, and why do I have to scroll all the way down to leave a comment?
@Bengals76
I Still Hardly touch you during Online gameplay.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, no duh
Atelier with some Stardew Valley in the breaks.
ni no kuni 2. Just about every waking hr... 😂
Splatoon. Always Splatoon. I need something new. Recently got Mario + Rabbids and it just isn’t clicking with me. Not a strategy fan I guess.
I'll be playing this all weekend:
Still fire emblem warriors! The new DLC is really challenging but it just adds even more replay value. 215 hours in and I al t stopping 😀

I’m playing dragons trap. Great game
@darkswabber 😱 where did you find that?
I’ve tried skyrim Glen Fox but meh not for me. Only bought it because it was on switch. I feel cheated.
@Fake-E-Lee If I didn't have a 3DS backlog I'd be doing a solo run of Nine Parchments myself A solo run is definitely something that I'm going to do sometime in the near future.
Tesla vs Lovecraft seems to be quite good. Will give it a try.
Trying to schedule time for all the games with events right now and timed challenges so; Battlefield, Battlefront, Fortnite, Rocket League, COD WW2 and Monster Hunter World. But I’m also trying to play Fire Emblem Warriors ugh
@sandman89 I bought the GB player this week from marktplaats (dutch website).
Pokemon gold last year on a fleamarket.
And now for the most interesting part, I bought both zelda’s, a gba kingdom hearts edition, a gbc, a ds lite, and over 20 gb, gbc and gba games for €5 last year on king’s day market.
@Anti-Matter
Its hard to play you because it seems like there is always a poor connection. I think part of the problem is, we live so far apart. Indonesia vs United States.
Bayonetta 2 and Punchout arcade. The button commands in Punchout fell slightly slow to react but I'm still having a blast. The Punchout series is one of my all time favorites. Now what we need is a new Punchout for Switch that would be a dream game of mine.
I have actually been playing SNES classic this week, first time using one and it's gurrreat!
Still playing Magical Drop 3 and loving it.
I ended up playing Goats the Tote, League of Evil, and starting Disgaea 5 so pretty easy going.
@Bengals76 I had a lot of fun playing it! I was punching the air very hard, like I was really fighting. I actually felt my arms tired and with some pain on the next day. Probably because I played ARMS after my workout
Actually I played Celeste until I beat the B-sides.
Chess Ultra
Skyward Sword for me. Just had to play it one more time before Breath of the Wild. Am enjoying it more the second time around.
Well I bought thimbleweed park which is great so far and punch out but bloodborne has consumed me. It’s up there with breath of the wild for me. Also discovered that the Jeff Minter classics jaguar cart had a hidden game on it so I’ve also been playing the st version of grid runner.
@Ooyah tboi is an amazing game!
