Another week has whizzed on by, giving us lots of exciting news on Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and New Pokémon Snap, as well as the announcement of a brand new Switch console edition and a Pokémon x Katy Perry collab of all things.
Thankfully, though, it's now time to sit back, relax, and discuss our gaming plans. Members of the Nintendo Life team have done just that below (and yes, it looks like two of us have ended up treating ourselves to gorgeous GameCubes recently). Feel free to join in with your own entries via our comment section. Enjoy!

Late to the party here but my main aim is finally beating Super Mario Galaxy again off the 3D All-Stars Collection. I've been bouncing between several single-player games though, so Hades will likely factor in too. I rebought it a few weeks back on Switch, after sinking many hours into the PC release, so a couple of trips to Tartarus are likely. Been trying to beat my fastest escape time of just under 13 mins. Outside of the Switch, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II will probably get loaded up on my PS5 too, since I started it last weekend.
Anthony Dickens, managing director
I've known about the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game for a long time, but for some reason it has never managed to make it into my shopping basket. Being a huge fan of the movie (and yes, I know it was a graphic novel first) this really needs to change. Zion literally can't stop talking about it and gushing over his fond memories playing it the first time around, so he's convinced me I should really pick this one up on the eShop and give it a go. I'm looking forward to getting reacquainted with Ramona Flowers, Knives Chau and those evil exes.
Kate Gray, news reporter
I am still playing Hades! I'm about to hit my 100th escape attempt, and I'm probably going to stream it, since it seems important. I just hope I don't fail on stream. That would be embarrassing.

Recently, I've been playing that age-old favourite game of 'comfort buying all the retro gaming stuff eBay has to offer so that it can sit on a shelf and look pretty'. It's a nasty habit, but it does mean that it gives me an excuse to dust off some old favourites to test out my new (old) consoles.
This week I managed to get hold of a Game Boy Pocket, instantly becoming the oldest handheld console I own as I only had Game Boy Colors growing up, and giving me a great chance to revisit Pokémon Trading Card Game. I loved the Pokémon TCG back in the day, before things got complicated and each card's HP went through the roof, and this game is perfect for playing against opponents when you have no friends. Sad reacts only.
Elsewhere, eradicating my gaming budget for the foreseeable future, I've also now managed to collect all four base colours of the GameCube – including everyone's favourite Spice Orange beauty. You can't have too many GameCubes.
Gavin Lane, features editor
I’ve made several retro purchases over the last couple of weeks – drained my entire budget for the year, actually. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Spice Orange GameCube, which is the loveliest console I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, I’m limited on Japanese software to play on it at the moment, so I’ll probably just sit and stare at it for a while. Lovely.
Otherwise, I’m hoping to jump into Metroid: Samus Returns on 3DS. I held off getting it for years in the hope that a Switch port would turn up, but I’ve given up on waiting. I also have several older DS games to revisit, including the original New Super Mario Bros., which I used to own but lost somehow. It has now been reacquired and I'm interested to see how it holds up.
I have also had an EON Super 64 PAL HDMI adaptor sitting on my desk since before Christmas, and now feels like a good time to finally fire up some F-Zero X and GoldenEye to see how N64 games look on my modern telly.

Hello all! Hope everyone's doing okay. I've recently started getting back into Pokémon a bit more recently, so this weekend I'll not only be playing Pokémon Shield on the Switch, but also Pokémon Sun on the 3DS! Am I mad..? Quite possibly. I'm really pleased to see the 25th Anniversary celebrations starting to ramp up, and I can't wait to see what announcements are made soon.
Time permitting, I also plan on jumping back into the 'classic' Resident Evil games, primarily REmake, but also Resident Evil Zero if I have enough time to spare. They work so well on the Switch, and it's been about a year or so since I last played them, so I'd say it's well overdue!
Mitch Vogel, reviewer
With the launch of Disgaea 6 on the horizon, I recently got back into Disgaea 5 Complete to see what I’ve been missing, and that’ll likely eat up most of my weekend. Full disclosure: I’ve had it since 2017, but only put maybe five hours into it. So far, I’ve put another twenty hours in and I think I finally ‘get it’, though I’m not sure if I’ll be going quite as far as the most avid fans that put hundreds of hours in. Either way, I’m more excited than ever for Disgaea 6 now!
Aside from that, I finally found the charging cord for my Vita! I decided to buy Persona 4 Golden earlier this week, and I’ll be progressing more into that this weekend. Persona 5 was my introduction to the series and I was floored at what a masterpiece that turned out to be, and so far, P4G is living up to that standard. I never would’ve thought that a ‘slice of life’ JRPG like this would be for me, but it's really won me over.
Gonçalo Lopes, contributing writer
Yep, I’m still very much stuck on the GameCube age of things. I felt the need for speed so I will spend my weekend between the lush cell-shaded motor beauties of Capcom’s Auto Modellista and attempting to pull off sonic booms at Extreme-G 3. Since I never owned the original the arrival of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World The Game – Complete Edition is actually very exciting, so expect me to welcome further belt action beatings after the last few delightful weeks of Double Dragon Neon.
My game of the week is Wrestling Empire! Mat Dickie’s games are legendary for all the wrong reasons and this one is his Magnum Opus. Despite being incredibly broken at times, it never fails to amuse by the amount of insanity it delivers per minute. Utterly brilliant career mode to compliment the 30 wrestlers on screen, rumble feature with zero loading times and stable performance. I look forward to further developments on this game.
As always, thanks for reading! Make sure to leave us a comment below with your gaming choices over the next few days...

Mainly just finishing off Abyss of the Sacrifice and playing some Splatoon 2 for Splatfest.
Scott pilgrim & divinity original sin 2(switch).
I am totally enjoying scott pilgrim & the songs(first time playing, i am in love).
Immortals at the minute.
Looking forward to 3D world early February.
Splatfest! I go through the same emotions every time I play splatoon 2. "This game is awesome, why don't I play it any more?" "Forgot how terrible I am".
Was playing Lumo but had 1 too many frustrating sections so I've abandoned it. Enjoyed it mostly though.
Not much time to play this weekend but I will probably manage to boot Trials of Mana here and there as the game becomes more exciting the futher I progress.
Btw, the choices of the editors show how poor weekend/month we have in terms of Switch releases.
I hope to chip away a few more hours of Dragon Quest XI S, but if I need a change of pace, Call of the Sea is there with some eldritch horror for me
Booom just managed to complete the final challenge on Captain Toad TT - Mummy Me Forever - on about the 10th attempt. Still got some of the DLC levels to complete.
Otherwise might try and finish Spiritfarer and a few post-escape runs in Hades.
@Bydlak That's the first half of January for you. Nothing unusual.
After the rather tough and long affair of Final Fantasy 6 Brave New World hack which I finished earlier this week I was in the mood for something a bit more simple and short so I decided to dig up the Spyro Trilogy from my never ending backlog and start playing the first game on that.
I've never played Spyro games myself so I didn't really know what to expect but so far it seems like a pretty simple collectathon, a product of its time for sure, but well made and the remake does look really nice and beatifully animated. The completion % as I recall said I'm about 30% done atm.
While I’m out at work today it will be Golf Story.
But for tonight and Sunday I’m back to Hyrule Warriors. I’ve sunk way too many hours into that game so far!
This week I will be mostly playing
Spla2n
Pokémon White
Two Point Hospital
Splatoon 2, I’m crazy tired all the time recently so haven’t played it but been encouraged to come back for the Splatfest and having a blast. I’m pretty rusty, sorry Team Mushroom!
I'll be playing Stardew Valley this weekend. Stopped playing a year ago, but now that I've picked it up again I've absolutely fallen it love with it. It's amazing how much stuff I haven't seen yet
@Bydlak As they adequately demonstrate you don't need to be playing new games, or even Switch games, to have fun. Frankly I like the occasional game drought to catch up on my pile of shame.
Dragon Quest XI S, great game to chill before going to bed!
It might be time to replay P4G and get the Marie dungeon, the Margaret dungeon and the rest of the endings. A Persona 4 Platinum for the switch would be pretty sweet.
Scott Pilgrim and Code Vein.
Just finish paper mario the orgami king, so I think I'm ether going to play among us okami or hades.
I played LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER PS4 and Para Para Paradise PS2 for this weekend. 😀
I have reached Chapter 5 for LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER PS4. I bought that game for the 3rd time after Wii U and Switch version. I know there are some differences between Nintendo version and Non Nintendo version so i want to discover by myself the differences.
I played Para Para Paradise PS2 for 1 hour before i took a bath as i will get sweaty after dancing Para Para.
1. Titan Quest on the Switch.
2. Heroes of Might and Magic 6.
Both PS2 Contras, Sin and punishment and maybe Alien Soldier.
I’m playing Pokémon sword and absolutely loving it and wonder what all the negative fuss was about! Also might sail a bit in Black flag 🏴☠️ last weekend I started far cry 5 but it kept crashing my pc so I need to look into that but meh 😑 sometimes pcs are so infuriating or badly optimised games whatever the problem is.
Mostly Animal Crossing and trying to unlock my last 3 levels in Mario 35 (7-4 is a nightmare) Maybe some Conduct Together.
I played a little Splatfest this morning but to be honest I've become bored of Splatoon 2. I don't find the online as addictive as Mario Kart 8 or Tetris 99 which still bring me back time and time again.
Focusing on more Darkest Dungeon (because yeah, I'm still addicted, having played 170+ hours since November).
Will need to prepare in taking down Crimson Court's (DLC) first major boss soon; or else having to take too many 'cursed' allies to a quest could bring about a pretty nasty consequence.
I’m playing Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing with my daughters.
I hope to spend the weekend bouncing between some more roaming in the open-worlders (The Outer Worlds, Starlink, Skyrim, Borderlands...) and some more progress in the more linear adventures (Bioshock 2, Spirit of Justice, Agent A, Bloodroots...). Been doing a few runs in The Walking Vegetables as well, which also set me in the potential mood for another few in Isaac.
@matdub not to mention that many folks' definition of a drought on Switch is "virtually any week without a couple AAA mammoths in it". Switch is drowning in games, capable of filling wishlists and backlogs for months and years ahead even if its entire release calendar suddenly took a vacation as we speak (figuratively, of course, although who knows how much of the industry ultimately faced the literal version last year), but to some people even a newsblog staff's weekend plans are supposed to be reflecting the rises and falls of the aforesaid calendar.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate and some Namco Museum (mainly Dig Dug, Rolling Thunder and Galaga '88).
Just starting to play Two point Hospital so that'll be fun, also fit in some kairosoft games.
@Expa0 I played the first Spyro this past summer and liked it. Like you said, it is some pretty simple platforming and collecting, but it was a welcome break from some harder games that I play. I hope you enjoy it!
Put down Age of Calamity a few weeks ago, going to try to pick it up again. Also bought Horace last sale and played through chapter 3, looks like a decent game, so I might finish that first.
Need for Speed, Travel Mosaics, Rocket League and my Saturday evening concert with Mr. K.K.
Happy gaming everyone!
@anonymunchy Haha, soon after getting Horace I thought "I'm going to complete this before getting caught up in other games" too... Then I realised it has 22 chapters! 😮 Now it's more like "Hopefully I'll slowly complete it over the year"
I'm gonna play the splatfest and i'm gonna start in the second chapter of Final Fantasy 15.
Maybe i'm gonna finish my house in minecraft.
Hoping to finish of Ghost of Tsushima, so I can then make a proper start on either Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate or Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. Gonna try and get some Scott Pilgrim in there too hopefully
mainly my plans are splatfest with Fire Emblem 3 houses, Octopath and Pokemon sword depending on how long I want to break from the splatfest. Octopath is currently grinding for Ophelias 2nd boss that is my medium time with filling the dex on sword as my lets spend 10 to 15 min taking a break and fire emblem is just long 2 hours break.
More Fenyx. Game feels like it's going on forever! Few Grindstone and Lonely Mountain runs to go with it.
And a walk in the fresh air with Mrs Murbs. Lovely day out there.
Hollow Knight this weekend for me.
Like the staff writers, I ended up buying retro games. Bought a 3DS and a bunch of games after giving up waiting for them to come to the Switch. I never owned a Gameboy or DS so there's a lot of classics to finally be able to play.
Wreckfest and Control on my PS4.
Sayonora Wild Hearts and Zelda AoC on my Switch.
Probably a few N64 games as well.
BotW for me mainly, with maybe some Bloodstained1&2 or Stardew.... but doubtful. BotW has its teeth sunk in good to me! Part of me is glad I waited to finally play this, as it woulda ruined me for games for a while.... but also partly sad as this is an amazing game that I may have already come back for a second run by this point. (I’ve had it since release but never got into it until now)
been playing God Of War for what seems like an eternity so I need to finish that this weekend! Got so much waiting for me on the Switch...
Mo: Astray
Kentucky Route Zero
Bastion
Horace
Abzu
The Messenger
Inmost
Ori Will Of The Whisps.
God knows why I keep looking at the eshop to see what's on sale... Must resist!
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. I'm so glad I decided to get this, it's a real gem.
With only a few more days tilll Hitman 3 (Pre-downloading now on Xbox 1) i aint playing much till it releases.
Most likely just Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition again...and again for the next month. Not that it's a bad thing. The game is awesome, but that's pretty much all I have time to play.
I would say Scott Pilgrim, but I'm going to be ordering that physical edition, so I'll probably have to wait 8 months to get mine.
Just finished guacamelee this morning and nailed the final level of slimy sewers on toki tori which had been bugging me. Go me
Just downloaded wonderful 101 and captain toad because of the sale. So gonna choose which one to start today, leaning wonderful 101. Also, first comment, long time lurker finally joined!
Gonna work on more of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
Besides some Smash Ultimate I'll be busy with Yakuza Like a Dragon. That game is fantastic so far 6 hours in.
Hoping to finally finish Valhalla this weekend, it just seems to go on...and on. More Hyrule Warriors on the Switch too.
Currently EV training a bunch of pokemon in ways that are never listed on sites with move sets no one would give them. Just to make people I battle online complain I am not doing it right because I am not copying what everyone else has done.
I've been grinding at Going Under. It's a cute rogue type game.
And makin' changes to my island in Animal Crossing
BTW, the Dream Address for Kivala is: DA-0593-5559-8264
On my way home from work now to find some more shrines in Botw
Switch: Alchemic Dungeons DX and some Ninja Warriors.
PC: Trying to finish up Fallen Order, before I play through Metro: Exodus. Played the first two on Switch last year, looking forward to seeing where this one goes.
After watching the bowsers fury trailer, 2 of my boys and i beat 3dworld just because. The 4 rear old is just getting into gaming and loved it. Still getting it day 1 and I’m sure we will be playing that and amoung us this weekend. And more beat saber on the oculus.
The backlog is starting to take on scary proportions again. I tried my best looking away during the various sales weeks but I did not come out unscathed lol.
This weekend, primarily playing through Paper Mario. A frustrating game in that viewed from certain angles it really has the potential to be something special but it does get bogged down by certain design elements. For me the good does outweigh the bad so sticking with this one until the end.
Another one who bought Horace super cheap here. Great game Though I’m more interested in the story than the platforming bits in between
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze for local multiplayer to keep us occupied until
3D World comes out.
Still grinding on Pokemon Sword. I’ll probably play some Among Us with my kids & then I’ll have to decide if I want to start Ni No Kuni or Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Need to scratch my RPG itch and both of those games having been sitting on my Switch untouched for months.
Civilization 6, where I'm currently playing the French going for a religious win.
Thunder Force IV and Gris, which I downloaded yesterday since they're on sale.
Probably some Slay the Spire. I'm addicted.
And today's the day I plan to get back into Ring Fit Adventure.
Zelda BOTW for me.
Super Meat Boy Forever
MHR demo and streets of rage 4
Well, I was late to the Switch party as I purchased one with the girlfriend in October. Was playing through all the Mario 3D games which tugged at my nostalgic heartstrings. Near the end of Sunshine until covid got in the way and the switch has been at my girlfriends house since December.
So in the meantime, I’ve busted out the n64 and been replaying Majoras Mask and Banjo-Tooie. Incredible games. Never played the remastered versions, so hoping they come to the Switch at one point. Also, playing Hollow Knight on the PS4. Another belter.
Moving into new house with the girlfriend next week where I will get the switch back with a brand new copy of Breath of the Wild, so that along with Mario Galaxy should keep me busy for a while. Just got to finish Majoras Mask and Banjo-Tooie this coming week...
Hades
AoC
Maybe terraria
One of the three
I started live streaming yesterday. I'm doing a blind playthrough of Danganronpa on Mean difficulty. My chat has informed me that that was a terrible decision for a blind playthrough, and I basically cut off the stream before the first trial, so I'm gonna see just how much I screwed myself when I start streaming again after work.
Tried the monster hunter demo for about ten mins but I didn’t really get it or the controls so back to Dark Souls Remastered but on PS4
Still playing lots of Pikmin 3 Bingo Battle.
I really wish Nintendo would pull their fingers out and release some games for Switch. It was the console that pulled me back into gaming after years away and possibly my favourite console ever for the first 1-2 years of its life but lack of Nintendo games has meant its sitting neglected and gathering dust
Bayonetta, Animal Crossing and probably Fortnite
Final Fantasy 7, Animal Crossing, Scott Pilgrim, and Super Mario 3D Collection.
Charging my wiiU pro controller to revisit 3d world after all that exciting remaster news
And animal crossing. As always..
I think for this weekend, I'm going to dive back into the Sega Genesis Classics game... more specifically though, Shining Force, Streets of Rage, and Vectorman. I really like this collection, as it gives me a chance to revisit the few Genesis games I played as a kid, as well as all the retro games I didn't get to play back in the day (I grew up with a SNES, but my cousin had a Genesis).
I'm also thinking of starting a new The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time playthrough on the 3DS as well this weekend. Oh and Pokemon Go as well, as it's the Machop community day event.
Lots of immortals still. Getting pretty tough actually. Playing NSMBU Deluxe with the kids every night too. Played thru 3D Land the other day which was solid. I'll also be playing miscellaneous games on the wii as well. If I'm feeling up to it I'll play some Yoshis New Island at some point today.
I started playing A Short Hike a few days ago and basically didn't stop until I had finished everything 100%. I can't remember the last time I played a game that made me smile the entire time I played it. Other than the fishing. I hate fishing in video games (or in real life). I guess that my goal for this weekend is to go find the fancy rare fish, because I'm not quite ready to move on to another game yet. What a fantastic game.
@Murbs I don't know where you and Mrs Murbs are but it was cold, windy and sleety here when I was going into work this morning. Brrrrrr.
Finishing Picross 3D: Round 2. I started playing it about a month ago. 10 puzzles to go. Playing on Hard. I also did the amiibo puzzles. At least the ones I could. I'm missing two compatible amiibos so I can't access the puzzles locked behind them. Other than that, I'll be done with the game by tomorrow.
@Peteykins Oh yeah, it's definitely a crazy good deal. I've enjoyed my time with the game so far, and I'm looking forward to making my way through the collection.
I'll be playing Splatoon 2 because splatfest
I'm still playing Breath of the Wild of course. 75+ hours, 78 Shrines beaten, found 166 Koroks, and hoping to work on my third Divine Beast this weekend.
I've also dusted off my Wii U and downloaded Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! in order to cap off my SNES DKC collection. This is the only DKC game I haven't played (unless we're counting Donkey Kong 64); I've heard it isn't quite as good as the first two but is still worth playing.
Finally, I'll be playing a little Pokemon Go this weekend. Machop Community Day is today, but the weather isn't exactly favorable. I'll try to get outside somewhat, but I may end up mostly playing from my car....
Have a great weekend! Happy gaming!
@Tyranexx
I'm deep into a 100% (well, 103%) run of DKC 3, after replaying the older titles, too.
No, in many ways, it's not quite as good as its prequels, but it's still excellent. It's just that a different team within Rare worked on it — and you can tell. The levels are slower-paced and they don't encourage agile, nimble play like the other entries. Also, the art style and mood are different, and not as memorable as what came before. However, there are some improvements, like increased overworld interaction, hugely creative bosses, and some mechanical polishing here and there. If you like DKC's brand of platforming, it's well worth your time.
I may actually place it over the first DKC, if only because DKC 1 has the worst "secrets" of the bunch, being both obtusely hidden and utterly useless, whereas in the sequels finding all the secrets is one of the best parts.
Maybe more of the MH Rise demo, undecided what to play next as I beat Sushi Striker a few days ago.
I've also been playing the original Star Fox on the Switch SNES app. I actually finished the easy route last night. I was a bit apprehensive at first, of course, because it's a 3D polygonal game from 1993 that used to run on the 16-bit SNES. And in 2020, it does take a lot of getting used to: it runs at like 15 frames per second, if you're lucky; there's constant pop-in, almost as a gameplay element; and there are serious readability issues when the action gets hot and you're showered in polygonal confetti. All of that said, though, the fundamentals of the game — from gameplay to progression, boss battles, stage design, and so on — are very, very good. I was having a load of fun at 3 in the morning and I rose my fist up high when I beat the easy version of the final boss. I grew up on Star Fox 64, which is technically much smoother for obvious reasons, but I have to admit the original game, once you get over the technical hurdles, feels like a more focused experience.
It's been the same answer for almost a year, Rocket League. Reached Platinum II recently in 3v3, and already had the rank in 1v1 & Dropshot.
The only games that could pull me away from Rocket League are probably Mario 3D World, and Breath of the Wild sequel.
I'm beating Darker Side (I hope). I've put 300+ hours into Mario Odyssey, and I'm ready to conquer it!
Splatoon 2 (Switch) - Playing in the SplatFest! Gotta rep the Super Star!
Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two (Windows Store) - Starting Episode 4 this weekend.
Halo: Spartan Assault (Windows Phone) - Going for the completion now.
Orbital (Windows Phone) - Still just starting out.
finished pikmin3...and now on to rayman legends with a bit of mk8 online multiplayer
(all crazy good games:)
Yakuza Like a Dragon Quest
Picked up Good Job on sale and having a ton of fun with that. Also in my first couple of hours with FF VII & playing through some Super Mario Odyssey. Having a hard time with FF VII graphics, doesn't hold up very well in 2021 but the story is fun so far.
Super Metroid/A link to the Past Randomizer. It hurts my head sometimes but it's so much fun
I've started over in Breath of Wild and I'm having a great time. What a game!
Just bought the Konami Anniversary Collection along with 2 SEGA AGES titles, Herzog Zwei and G-Loc and Metro 2033 on sale. I haven't played any of them before except for Gradius and Life force, although I think it was the NES versions a long, long time ago.
I'll be dipping into all of those, except for Metro 2033,which I'm saving for later.
Decided to check out Madden 20 on Gamepass, it's ok definitely not as refined as Mutant Football League but it's fun. Also got back into Forza Horizon 3 after reinstalling it on my Series X and if I get time Cold War.
I've been working my way through Final Fantasy X still along with a little bit of animal crossing on the side. I want to try finishing it before the new year's sale ends so I can justify picking up a new game lol. I really want to pick up the Castlevania anniversary collection
Splatfest for me, then the HD remake of God of War 2 on PS3. I'm planning on working through the God of War games gradually (playing different games in-between) and then finishing with God of War PS4. Am worried if I play the PS4 one first the others won't feel so good.
@matdub
Sure thing, that's what I do myself waiting for BD2.
I was thinking I'm gonna play some Link's Awakening DX. Maybe OOT3D as well. Probably Perfect Dark.
Shovel Knight and Scott Pilgrim.
I am with Mr. Lopes this week. I picked WRESTLING EMPIRE up yesterday and have already spent 5 hours switching the character's names over to their real-life counter-parts and getting into the Career Mode. Such good stuff here.
Playing Scott Pilgrim and my third run thought Breath of the Wild
That'll be Mario Sunshine and Starfy 4 for me. Might start a new save on Paper Mario Color Splash as well, since Origami King really made me want to go back and revisit that.
I have inventory to do this weekend at work, so that means I'm working 3pm-midnight tonight and 6pm-3:00am tomorrow. I won't be playing much, but I will be trying to make more progress in Dragon Quest XI S on my Series X. I'll also try and dabble in Hades and/or Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze on my Switch. I'm also going to have to watch the Chiefs game tomorrow before work as well. It's going to be a busy weekend.
Spice and Wolf VR 2,Snake Pass(haven't played it until now).Also some Smash Ultimate and Hyrule/FE Warriors.
I finished Donut County in one sit and now I'm playing some Luigi's Mansion 3. My father died recently, today it's my 32th birthday and I can't go out with my friends, so videogames are being my way out.
A Splatfest's going on now, so Splatoon 2 for me!
@Josh_Hickory89 Happy birthday! Hope you have a good one. Sorry to hear about your dad, my condolences.
Picked up Super Mario 3D All-Stars last week, so I'll probably be bouncing between Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. Galaxy has a very special place in my heart, so I'm debating between saving it for last or diving straight in.
On switch I'm playing spiritfarer, Hadès, and my son like ro watch me play captain toad. And i'm playing cyberpunk on stadia.
And may be age of calamity if I got enough time
I'll be playing with Super Mario 3D All-Stars trying to beat Super Mario Sunshine after I only got through to about 30 Shine Sprites before giving up, on the GameCube years ago. I also have Pokémon Ultra Sun, and Omega Ruby and Moon to finish getting all species of Pokémon. Also I'll be trying to get all of my DLC back hopefully.
Splatoon 2 is the only Switch game I'm playing this weekend since it's a splatfest. On PS4, Deliver Us the Moon and COD: Cold War.
Splatoon, Super Mario 64, and Super Metroid.
Started up with Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n Fun again since a few days. My new goal is to have full combo on all easy songs on the DK congos. The game is so whacky and cheerful, it is great to lighten my mood these days.
@Josh_Hickory89 My condolences on your loss. And Happy birthday! Video games might not be quite how you wish to celebrate, but I hope it's a good one all the same. I've heard Luigi's Mansion 3 is quite fun, though I haven't played it yet.
@Beaucine A different team was involved? That could explain some of the feedback I've read for sure. I have a ton of nostalgia for the first game, though I do recognize it's rough around the edges. I played DKC2 for the first time a few months ago and felt that the game improved on its predecessor in many (though not in all) aspects; it was definitely more challenging and reliant on speed. I'm sure I'll enjoy DKC3, but I plan on going in with an open mind.
Thanks for the feedback!
PGA 2k21 and need for speed hot pursuit remastered
I'm playing Ara Fell and Rocket League-- Damnit, I've picked back up RL and can't put it down lol.
Well the 400GB Micro SDXC card in my Switch totally died this past week, so I lost all of my progress on Iris.Fall (not to mention my progress on a ton of other games since the Switch launch). Guess I'll be replaying Iris.Fall, if I can find the time. I was really enjoying it last weekend. Also, Minecraft with the kiddo.
Let's hope the new Samsung EVO card holds up better than my Sandisk one did. :'-(
Still hooked on the original Fire Emblem. I played a good 30+ hours or so of Advanced Wars on the WiiU, I never knew it was so similar to Fire Emblem!!
I just finished up completing Warioland 4 on GBA and I am thinking about starting The Hobbit GBA next! I have also been playing Super Mario 3D Classics on Nintendo Switch. All in all, some great games. I adored Warioland 4 and playing that one makes me want to play more of them.
I thought I'd be done with Picross 3D: Round 2 but apparently 1/5th of the game is unlocked after beating it. I didn't think there would be more puzzles since I already had 9/10 crowns on my save file. I guess I'll be playing this one for little longer.
@Tyranexx yeah, Luigi's Mansion 3 is great fun! Not as much scary as the Gamecube original, but graphics are beautiful, there's a lot of puzzles, and plenty of inpressive cinematics! I didn't expected to be so good!
Hades and animal crossing for me
The kid said she wants to play Dragon Quest today, so I guess it'll be that 👍
I have been playing Breath of the wild in Master mode. It's been a blast!
Chipping away at the behemoth that is RF4S as well as trying (and failing badly) at the challenge stages in Touhou spell bubble.
Immortals: Fenyx Rising.
Loving it
@Late you're talking about game on 3ds, right? I don't think it was ported to switch yet. Either way, it is a great game, i like picross, but i love the 3d version. I think I played almost every level. Have fun playing!
@Josh_Hickory89 I am sorry for your loss. I wish you strength.
@Josh_Hickory89 Good to hear! From what footage I have seen, the game looks quite charming. I've played the previous two games on 3DS (Never had GameCube access) and really enjoyed the puzzles, humor, and mechanics in them.
minecraft, fortnite, and botw
@Clyde_Radcliffe I just started chapter 9 (I was on chapter 3 when I first posted). This game is a trip and a half... I wasn't really that into it at first, but as each chapter passes I get sucked into it more. Don't enjoy all the mini games as they feel somewhat unresponsive at times, but the general tone of this game is amazing. Certain events in the game come out of nowhere. Can't wait to see what's left
