It's been another big week in the Nintendo Life, with a significant arrival on the Switch. That's Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl of course, which we naturally reviewed for your reading / viewing pleasure. Elsewhere there was continuing fallout for GTA Trilogy with the Digital Foundry analysis, Animal Crossing kept serving up fun new surprises, Metroid Dread got a GOTY nomination, the Wii U is actually getting a new game and we've celebrated anniversaries for GameCube and Wii. Phew!
Now, though, it's time to chill out and discuss our weekend gaming plans. A few members of the Nintendo Life team have done just that below, so feel free to give our entries a read and then join in with your own via our comment section. Enjoy!

This week I shall mostly be avoiding the Switch eShop like the plague. I’ve already succumbed to a couple of Cyber Deals – I couldn’t resist getting Okami again for Switch OLED-related reasons – so I should really set about playing some of the games I’ve bought.
In fact, I’m planning on making some more progress through Metroid Dread. I’m guessing I’m about halfway through, but I’ve been taking my time meandering and hunting down extra Missile Tanks. It’s such a slick game that I’m a little worried about going back to previous entries now. Samus has always had a unique staccato style of movement that takes time to adjust to, but after slip-sliding and zipping about the place in Dread, I have the feeling that the old games will feel slow when I revisit them. Still, whaddagame.
Tom Whitehead, deputy editor
I've been looking through my eShop wishlist to see if any are part of the Cyber Deals, and will probably pick up Panzer Paladin for a bit of weekend fun. I'll likely also fire up Rocket League just to play its best mode - Heatseeker.
Elsewhere I'll probably continue to play the Halo Infinite Multiplayer beta, which is rather good, and still need to get back to my lengthy journey through Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Kate Gray, staff writer
I'm still playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Which, in itself, is wonderful — I was worried I'd fall off it again. But this time I'm taking it nice and slow!.
Ollie Reynolds, reviewer
Hey folks! No Pokémon for me this weekend as I'm skipping the latest release. Instead, I'm jumping into some familiar comforts with Super Mario Odyssey and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. In terms of pure gameplay, they're simply two of the best games on the Switch, and I'll happily play them anytime, anywhere.
Over on the Series X, it's all about Halo Infinite, baby. Despite some ongoing issues with progression and overall content, I can't believe how well 343 have nailed the gameplay; it's sublime. If the campaign delivers a strong narrative, then I think it's safe to say 343 have fully redeemed themselves.
Gonçalo Lopes, reviewer
Another lovely weekend in the company of the Switch and the Wii. I’m still quite hooked on Gas Guzzlers Extreme but will need to find some time to sink into the brilliant Tails of Iron. Geometry Wars: Galaxies continues to be a great reminder that in my advanced age I must learn to enjoy the taste of humble pie. Should I have some company over both Double Dragon IV and Double Dragon Neon just arrived in their glorious physical editions.
Game of the week is 1CC classic Space Moth: Lunar Edition. A marvellous way to spend the time while waiting for next week’s DoDonPachi Resurrection.
As always, thanks for reading! Make sure to leave us a comment below with your weekend gaming plans!

Xbox: Halo and forza horizon 5
Switch: Maybe a new playtrough of let's go pikachu
Literally catching them all, playing BD and SP simultaneously, to swoop around exclusives. That is all. Dont mind me.
SWITCH
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond - Starting my journey through Sinnoh!
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - Practicing with Spongebob online!
PC
Garry's Mod - Going to have some fun with friends!
Have a good weekend everyone.
Trying to complete SMT5 on the Switch before Xmas so I can give it to someone as a gift.
The pokemon remakes, Then some more pokemon unite, Then I might finally get to Okami.
Final fantasy x for me. I can see why people don’t like the blitz ball bits, just got past the very long tutorial and obligatory game. Luckily a quick google reveals playing any more of it is optional. Otherwise I’m enjoying it. Might also try out Dicey Dungeons as I picked it up in the sale.
I just finished Persona 5 Strikers this morning, and I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time. Going to start a new file and do more of the side quests this time around to unlock New Game +, so I can play it again! I love this game!
Ps5 - neptunia x senran kagura and Tiny Tina assault on dragons keep
Switch - pokemon brilliant diamond and shin megami tensei 5
Xbox - Back for blood and forza 5
PC: Some league as always
Switch: Some Ruined King & SMT 5
PS5: Ys Memories of Celceta & Tales of Arise (still)
Maybe some Wii with Path of Radiance or Tales of Symphonia
@MischiefMaker I’m surprised Square Enix didn’t attempt a stand-alone blitzball game, might’ve worked
SMTV. 23 hours in, just slowly moving the main story forward, more interested in catching and fusing demons. My compendium is at 34% right now. Gotta fuse 'em all!
I played these games. 😀
1. Animal Crossing New Horizons
2. The Adventures of Tintin PS3
I have built 50 vacation homes at Happy Home Paradise island from ACNH. Also, i have accumulated more than 750 hours gameplay of ACNH.
I have finished the storyline of Tintin PS3 this afternoon. Such a short game but quite interesting.
It's a JRPG weekend for me. Playing Tales of Arise on PS5 which has been really good so far. Also picked up Shining Pearl yesterday at Tesco for £20 (cheers clubcard vouchers). Only done the first bit (picked Piplup as starter).
Have a good one folks!
REPENT!!! 😆
I currently have 920 hours against Isaac, and Repentance adds a simply staggering amount of new content, so this should keep me going for a while. I would have bought Pokemon Brilliant Diamond otherwise, but I will hold back on that for now.
Take care, guys, and have a lovely weekend.
Got my Switch back and have been playing Dying Light. (I hate playing scary games, but this has me totally hooked lol.) Now, where was I? Oh yes.
AAAAAAAAAAAAH GET BACK! WHY WON'T YOU DIE! (etc)
Ocarina of Time 3D
@Mattock1987 I have read that once you get past that first game, if you put the time in it can be quite addictive. I’m just not sure I can be bothered to put the time in! Especially not with my backlog…
Gonna be finishing off Metroid dread absolutely love the game and also forza horizon 5
I bought Ys IX (I LOVED Ys VIII) and started to play it, but oh man, the fps are TERRIBLE when you wander around the city. It seems to be an awesome game, I really like he atmosphere, the combat, the plot, but I decided to wait for an update that makes it more playable, and I'm coming back XD
Meanwhile I bought Tales of Vesperia, which is now pretty cheap, so I'll be give it a go! I've always wanted to try it.
I'm waiting until Christmas to put my hands on SMTV, but I really want to play it as well!
Not a whole lot of Pokémon fans around the office, huh? I downloaded Shining Pearl and it's been a joy so far! It's a straight remake without most modern bells and whistles and that's exactly what I want from this game. Classic, no frills Pokémon. I dare say this will be my evergreen put-a-few-hundred-hours-into Pokémon game, just like the good ol' days.
This week I will be mostly playing
Age of Calamity DLC
Toki Tori 2
Coming off yesterday's Cyber Sale splurge, new gems - almost two dozen of them - are certainly in order. Already sampled Masquerada and Tales of Vesperia (granted, the latter got shelved right afterwards because I'm still on Eternia - but even seeing and poking around a few beginning scenes for a bit excites for what's to come), and then there's stuff like Kingdoms of Amalur, Void Bastards, Death end re;Quest, Aground and SolSeraph, Galak-Z (the retail one) and Rock of Ages 2, Azure Saga and Gleamlight, Valley and Blaster Master Zero... do not send help, I'm beyond any.😆 All the aforelisted alone would make Switch this weekend's focus even by the usual standards, but its backlog is never completely off the plate either, even if previously another game shorter this week (Gorogoa was quite a ride), there are still plenty to tend to. Children of Morta, Borderlands, Starlink and Immortals, Xenoblade and Valkyria Chronicles, Portia and Mudrunner, plus the new event in Warframe (aka my new hope of finally upgrading my trusty Mag to a Prime variant at long last)... only time will tell what I'll factually squeeze in. I mean, my weekly Big Plans sound all the bigger considering that I also have some varying work hours on Saturdays this semester. 😏😅 But no matter how it plays out, I always end the weekend a bunch of impressions and memories richer anyway.
The other platforms will likely be receiving much briefer attention this time, although the laptop should see a bit more Morrowind and Just Cause 2, and I may well continue my playthrough of the aforementioned Tales of Eternia on Vita, too.
Still working my way through Metroid Dread (I'm taking my time with it), I'll continue with Deathloop and hopefully squeeze in some Halo Infinite MP
Shin Megami Tensei V finally beat the second boss and got the story moving significantly - and then lost about two hours of play due to not finding a save point yet in the next chapter. So I'm a little annoyed with the game at the moment, but I will carry on as it's been great up to this point.
After beating Dusk last week (a surprisingly awesome FPS that I was legitimately creeped out at times with), I've decided to play something a little more vibrant with Hob: Definitive Edition. While I have my beef with a few aspects like the awful map system and somewhat twitchy platforming controls, I do love how you interact with the environment in this game by changing the landscape in different ways. For the $4 sale price I got it for, I would say that its worth it so far. I imagine I'll mostly be playing Hob this weekend. I really want to play more Dicey Dungeons, but once I get my mind set on one game, it's kind of hard to branch out.
Up to chapter 5 in Bravely Default 2, really enjoying it, no sign of fatigue 70hours in. Also dipping back into ACNH, mainly setting up a farm and collecting art and fossils, but only in short bursts.
Playing the ds versions of Dragon Quest 4-6.
Currently finishing 6's postgame and after thats done I plan to replay 5.
Sakuna of rice and ruin, final fantasy 8, ssbu
Burnout Paradise and New Horizons. What a mix.
Happy gaming everyone!
I didn’t get to finish off what is fast looking like my game of the year, Metroid Dread, last weekend. So that’ll be my first port of call whenever I get the chance. Over on PS5 meanwhile, I’m knee deep in the fabulous Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut. I guess I’m about halfway through both games.
Enter the Gungeon on Gamepass, and I've just got the second Blue reflection, so maybe that.
Battletoads 2020 on my PC
Shin Megami Tensei V on my Switch
Gundam Breaker Mobile on my phone
All during the hours taken out of sleep because too much work
Getting back into ACNH, razing most of my island to the ground and leaving my islandmates tottering around on desolate rocky outcrops amidst a sea of forlorn emptiness in preparation for all the new stuff I'll probably never get round to using. Amazing how long, laborious tasks you have to wait days to complete are still compulsively fun with this thing.
Also Blasphemous, even though I'm completely stuck, and occasionally smacking my head against a brick wall for some light relief.
That's what I'm playing, but also looking wistfully at discounted Xenoblade and wondering if I can circumnavigate my other half's unspoken 'don't by stuff for yourself this close to Christmas you muppet' rule. Seems like the best evolution of the faintly silly epic-storylined JRPGs I liked as a smaller person and always wanted to try it...
Forza Horizon 5 and Star Wars Episode One Racer (My physical copy just arrived in the post)..
Got 100% on Metroid Dread last night, on Normal. Not sure if I'll go for the speedrun and hard unlocks, may go back to it one day. I think my hands need to recover from so many tried and failed attempts to beat Raven Beak and to do some of those speed boost challenges. Enjoyed it very much though. Going back to Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Burnout Paradise Remastered and Arkham City this weekend, ahead of the Spidey update to Avengers which will likely take up next weekend's gaming time.
Jumping between Shin Megami Tensei V and, strangely, Metroid Zero Mission. One is bloated, talky and dark, the other is super-condensed, enigmatic and dark - and I am loving them both.
Kingdoms of amalur. 25 hours and counting...
Now, after they finally fixed the language issue, GTA trilogy. Biggest issue solved so seems a good time to dive in.
Honest Guv’
Pokemon Y on 3ds to get pomemon fix
I'd be playing Brilliant Diamond if it wasn't for the fact that my copy won't arrive until Monday... I guess that while I wait, I'll have KOTOR and Final Fantasy XII to keep me busy on Switch. I also decided to pick up Neo: The World Ends With You again and do some grinding to finish off my pin/item collection, which is fun.
Outside of Switch, I've been trying to get in some more VR lately. Blade & Sorcery, Beat Saber, and Pistol Whip are my go-to games at the moment. I should try to get back to Silent Hill as well, and while I said I'd go back to ALTTP last week, I got sucked back into Zelda 1 on the Game & Watch...
@GregamanX I loved my time in Hob. And i agree with your comments. My favorite parts were the visuals and music. Enjoy it!
I'm playing Illvelo Swamp and Eschatos, which i bought from the japanese eShop.
If i want something more relaxing, i might also play some The Good Life again.
Could be Aggelos, Far Cry 6, Forgotton Anne, Hoa, It Takes Two, Olija, Sackboy, Speaking Simulator, The Missing, or the Ninja Saviors… the past few weeks, I’ve sort of taken it upon myself to stack a back catalog, I guess. Of course, that said, I may just play Halo Infinite, Animal Crossing, and Skyrim too.
Still playing dying light , which is a great conversion on the switch 😘
Hopefully finish Guardians (just in time for the new ray tracing mode). Halo and Forza will be my chill/social games for the foreseeable future.
Just picked up Pikmin 3 deluxe on switch after enjoying the demo. Looking for other games on sale, thinking either hitman 3, Fenyx Rising, Divinity original sin 2, Tails of Iron or Maybe Tales of Arise if the demo is good.
Puyo Puyo 2 on the 3DS. Also have been playing Timesplitters Future Perfect since it has finally been made backwards compatibility on Xbox One. It's time to to split!
Shin Megami Tensei 5, 40+ hours in I think I'm starting to close in on the last leg of the game.
It's been "good" but hardly amazing, I don't think it quite matched up to some of the earlier games including SMT4.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Pokémon Shining Pearl
Pokémon Sword + Expansion
Mighty Switch Force Collection (finally busted my LRG copy open)
WarioWare: Get It Together
Tetris 99
@Lilmonix3 good to hear. I love the hard bosses, good to have an excuse to completely change your job mix etc which keeps it fresh. Then ACNH is the chill out in between. 🙂
Have been playing timesplitters future perfect on Xbox one. Why oh why didn’t I play this 15 years ago! Xxxxx
Finished Metroid Zero Mission and I think I'm at the last boss of Metroid Samus Returns, so if I finish that I will start playing Super Metroid on WiiU or Switch.
Waiting for my Pokėmon Shining Pearl to come with the mail. Gonna play it a lot if it comes. Maybe some Animal Crossing New Horizons and Pokėmon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX if it doesn't come.
Also probably watching some Naruto again, at episode 89 atm.
And wil probably finish my Pirates of the Carribean marathon, watched 1 through 3 already now just 4 and 5 in the weekend.
I’ve been playing halo infinite and it’s so very awesome! They have nailed the gameplay and there are so many fun new maps and weapons to try out. I just wish there were loadouts and more customization for your character…I may have to buy the battlepass. Also playing some tinesplitters 2 and future perfect on the series x going thru the arcade challenges, boy they are tough. I grew up with these games and always wished I could beat ts2 on hard to unlock the site level but robot factory is a nightmare. I’ll be getting brilliant diamond aa a Christmas gift and have been considering smt5 but I’ve never played any of the series before. This one seems loved, I’m just not a big fan of the art style and dark setting.
Atari Jaguar: Rayman
Switch: Wolfenstein II
GameCube: Metroid Prime 2 Multiplayer
Call of the sea, Mario party superstar , Forza horizon 5 , maybe rise of the tomb raider if I finish call of the sea.
I think if I out my mind to it that I could beat Dread... Alternatively I might get distracted and try out that new Smurfs game (if it ships) or this indie platformer called Effie, that so looks super good!!!
Pikmin bloom.
Halo Infinite nonstop!
SMT V. There is no other game right now! I think it's beyond doubt for me that the SMT universe of games is my favourite series of RPGs now.
Since my switch died and a new one is incredibly hard to come by, SMTV will have to wait.
So it is more Forza Horizon 5.
@Einherjar try a hard reset! My bro thought his died but it was fine after that. Hold power button down for 15 seconds and see
Some Animal Crossing and was planning to start on the backlog and then there is the cybersale! Going to check out Tetris and continue my journey in Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age(love the music!). Game on!
I'm beated Snow Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey. Beated Tenchi o Kurau/Dynasty Wars in Capcom Arcade Stadium, without invincibility. And in Resident Evil: Revelations, I've earned some achivements during playing Raid Mode and unlocked Parker Luciani's FBC costume. Also, today I will probably play Super Mario Odyssey. I want to beat SMO before Danganronpa will come out.
SUBNAUTICA - probably the best switch game I own. I know It's called a survival-sim, but It's just as much a exploring game - and a brilliant One of those.
HUNTDOWN - just bought the physical version. And I think Clear River have done it very Well indeed. Both the game and the package.
Wait, what? Dodonpachi Resurrection is out next week? Oh man, I can’t wait to pick that up. Having one of my favourite ever shmups on the OLED is a marvellous prospect.
@Patendo My fan desintegrated...i doubt a hard reset will help here...
Started Brilliant Diamond last night. Really enjoying it a couple hours in.
I’ve been a gamer since the NES but never really played Pokémon until the Switch. I loved Let’s Go Pikachu and I thought Sword was kinda boring…so far I’d say this is more in line with LGP. So that’s good. We’ll see if it stays that way, though.
Playing Shining Pearl and ACNH too. Might also start a play through with Brilliant Diamond this weekend too, once I get my dual pack.
@gaga64
I'm cofident you'r enjoying TOKI TORI 2+. That is a splendid puzzle-platformer.
Playing "Putting up the Christmas Lights". LOL.
After that, 39 Days to Mars.
Work. I usually play that on the weekends. 36 hours in 3 days every week! Man, I remember when I used to put those hours into games instead.
I've been glued to SMT V since launch.
Super Mario SuperStars, Tetris 99, and HALO. & yes- progression needs an overhaul. Otherwise can’t get enough
Right now I'm sitting working at my computer, and watching Link battle enemies on my Zelda Game & Watch. Sadly this will likely be the extent of my gaming this weekend.
@GrailUK
You know I was primarily here this AM to see if your Switch was back from the Switch Hospital - so glad to hear it is! 😁
I’ll be playing some Dying Light too, tonight after bringing the kiddos home. It’s so stressful trying to survive among virals at night! But double XP at night makes it tempting. A scary, gross, but compelling game. If beginner me were to offer one piece of advice, it’d be invest in a bow and reclaim those arrows! 🏹🧟♂️
I hope also to play more ACNH collecting gyroids and maybe finally visit Harv’s hippie commune or start designing paradise homes.
EDF3 and Megaton Musashi delivered from Japan, too - early Xmas prezzies to myself which I’ll mostly save for later.
@Einherjar haha definitely not
I played some ACNH last night, then some Hyper Light Drifter (obviously both on Switch).
Today, I played Psychonauts on XSX and some Halo 4. Also one match of slayer on Halo Infinite MP.
Not a bad weekend of playing, so far.
Currently playing Axiom Verge. I think I am nearing the end. It is a really unique game with a really dark/strange atmosphere.
After that I will probably either go back to 100% Metroid Dread or do 3rd playthrough of Metroid Dread.
I’m playing Shin Megami Tensei V and Halo Infinite! I’m not sure how far I am in SMTV, but all of my characters are level 45 and I haven’t even fought Lahmu yet. I was somewhat grinding and collecting demons and doing a lot of fusing.
Probably play some Rocket League - casual 3v3, ranked 3v3, maybe heatseeker, dropshot, or a tournament.
I haven't been into any big releases this year. Can't recall what my last big game purchase was. As you can see, I'm not a collector. But!......I still like Rocket League🌈🌈👌. This might be all I play until there's new Splatoon, Mario Kart, Crash Team Racing, Zelda, Mario+Rabbids, Mario Odyssey sequel.
edit: If I had xbox, I'd definitely being playing Forza Horizon 5.
Who hit the like button on every single comment? I see what yer doin!😉😁
On switch, Aggelos which is a wonderful wonderboy and zelda II clone. On 2ds Ocarina of Time. And on the Zelda g&w, Links Awakening. I REALLLLLLY want to get diamond or pearl though.
I FINALLY got Breath of the Wild. It's my first 3D Zelda experience and I'm absolutely loving it so far.
Planning on jumping between SMT V and Ion Fury
I'm playing through Dragon Quest XI S Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch.
It's pretty cool. I've only played Dragon Quests 1, 2 and 3 on 8-bit NES, and Builders 1 and 2 on Switch before I tried 11.
After this I need to play 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 too it seems!
@mcdreamer It's honestly a phenomenal series and I regret sleeping on it in the DS/early 3DS days. Going back and playing them has been great
I'm still meandering my way through Pokemon Shield and am about to net my fifth badge. I love Ballonlea's aesthetic, even though I'm admittedly not that into the Fairy type. Good thing I have some amazing counters like Toxtricity and Corviknight!
I picked up Doki Doki Literature Club on PC and am playing it when I feel I'm in the right mindset and need a Pokemon break. No spoilers here, but let's just say things took a turn for the...interesting recently. The game is certainly much more than meets the eye.
Happy gaming!
I'm back to playing ACNH every day. Nice and relaxing. I'll be doing some raids in Pokemon Shield for the shiny Eeveelutions. Hard to make time for those two when I've been playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond since getting it yesterday.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Pokémon Shining Pearl for me!
Almost done with Guacamelee 2. Just finishing side quests & stuff before heading to the final boss.
Really enjoyed this game (both are really quite good)
I would be playing Pokémon, but the Pokémon Center isn’t getting it to me until Monday. I just had to have those plush keychains, huh?
SMTV is very addicting. I was hesitant on buying it because i wasnt a fan of P5, but i honestly thing its my favorite JRPG on the console. Also Halo Infinite multiplayer is awsome.
I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 on my switch, but I’ve been pretty tempted to get myself an Xbox Series S to try the Halo games for the first time (I’ve never owned a non Nintendo console before). I probably won’t get one because it’s a lot of money to just drop randomly, but I can dream.
Switch: My New Game+ run of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Got back to Indol recently, so I'm postponing the main story for unique monsters I didn't defeat the last time.
PS4: Trails of Cold Steel 2. Need to grab the last trial chests before I begin the end chapter.
Still having a lot of fun with Persona 4 Golden!
I'm off for a week now so no stress just relaxing and playing video games..I hope.
Animal Crossing is still the game that has most of my attention at the moment but I'm finding it hard to do everything I want to do in it as there's so much!Really wish I could obtain tomatoes though,it's the only one I'm missing..
Still playing the excellent Voice Of Cards too,I'm chapter 6 already so will be finished with it soon.
On Ps5 I'm trying to pick up the Plat for Tales Of Arise which I'm done with the main story after 70 hours or so.Absolutely fantastic game and certainly makes up for the last couple of disappointing games in the series.
Enjoy your weekend all!
today is Bug-off in Luxiere(my Island) and i completed all shops on Harvey Island.
Focus on XB1 this weekend (probably a mixture between Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5 and a few others), my Switch has massive internet problems (only the Switch) so I can't do stuff like install the 3GB BDSP patch.
I'm running through Ghostbusters: The Videogame currently. Should be done soon, then I'll get back to R-Type II.
Batman Arkham Knight on PC, and the N64 Switch app. Maybe I'll start another Hard run in Metroid Dread.
@Gwynbleidd the rewards are saved on the same slot.
Eschatos - I've only played it for a bit but I can already tell it's yet another superb shmup.
Space Moth Lunar Edition - Same as above.
Star Hunter DX - From the same devs as Space Moth. I haven't played it yet but I already know from a friend that it's another good shmup.
Dusk - What A Game, amazing. Love everything about it.
Rocket League - As always.
I've started playing Hob, because that's what my backlist is like.
Had been playing Alien: Isolation but it started to kick my ass so I needed to mix it up.
I’ve still got quite a few games on the go.
One I’m playing right now though is super Metroid. It’s challenging! Had to use a map to figure out what I was missing. Didn’t feel like running around for hours looking on my own lol
Metroid Dread. The game is so addicting. Like, I just always have to do one more: one more boss fight, one more save point, one more item to collect. I think it's better than Super Metroid, which is fantastic, and I truly believe it's one of the best Switch games of all time.
Also playing Eastward and yes, even playing GTA trilogy, because I haven't experienced all the brokeness everyone else has.
Happy gaming friends!
Seeing as how NL just posted the eShop top seller, I think we all know the answer.
I'll be playing ACNH and West of Loathing (the latter of which I started a couple of days ago). Have a great weekend everybody!
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond - I love it so far.
ACNH 2.0 update - I'm still having fun collecting Gyroids.
Super Mario Maker 2 - My default relaxing game.
I guess I'm all-in on Nintendo games this week.
Series S: Halo Infinite (of course), Forza Horizon 5, Flight Simulator GOTY. I said it a while ago and Ill say it again. Xbox releasing these three titles the first year of the next gen is pure genious as these IPs are games I can play for the whole generation.
Nintendo Switch: Metroid Dread (unless my gf decides to kidnap my Switch to play the Pokémon Shield DLCs).
Ps5: Death Stranding DC.
With the black Friday sale going on on all platforms I'm considering buying Ghost of Tsushima DC, Tales of Arise and Monster Hunter Rise. R.I.P. Wallet.
Happy gaming everybody!
I'll mostly be playing Pokémon Shining Pearl!
When I need to let my Switch OLED charge, I'll probably continue my Dying Light play through with a friend on my OG Switch. And also GTA San Andreas!
Football Manager 2022, just got Tony Hawks in the sale and loving it, also Dark Souls
@Sambuc How did you get Rayman for Jaguar? That is so cool.
Am playing Uncharted 3 Remastered on PS4 and it's awesome. Need to finish it before I move onto Pokémon Brilliant Diamond.
Also playing Kirby Planet Robobot on 3DS which is great, loving the 3D effect.
Metroid Dread! Still loving it, I’m also helping my son occasionally on his save file but he’s doing really well on his own. My daughter in love with MK8D at the minute, to the point where she now wants her own Seitxhand Mario Kart for Christmas. That’ll be three Switch, one Wii U version of MK8 and two Deluxe, (one download one physical), in my house. Nintendo, you’re welcome you wily dogs. Have a good weekend all.
Been really addictive to Animal Crossing, so I’ll be playing that. Also make time for Fatal Frame and Pokémon Sword.
I'll be playing on my 3DS some of my backlog. Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, Tales of the Abyss, and Pokemon X (my favourite). Can't wait to play Brilliant Diamond (but to be honest it makes me anxious that you guys rated it so bad)
@iLikeUrAttitude Such GREAT games! Enjoy!
Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Zelda on the G&W.
I'm going to be playing Brilliant Diamond, Animal Crossing, Shin Megami Tensei V on my Switch this weekend.
Shin mega V ... trying to grind my way along the game. And then have to load.
A lot of SMT V, I keep dying, just lost an hours progress but it’s so addictive.
A little of Binding Of Isaac Repentance as it came out on this side of the pond now.
Xbox: Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City - Halo Infinite - Paladins
Mobile: Some match 3 games - Super Mecha Champions
Other consoles are tidied away for now.
PC: Grow - Song of the evertree
Switch: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl and Animal Crossing
other: the Legend of Zelda Game & Watch
I’m going to play some xenoblade x in the good ol Wii U, still playing the genesis on nso pretty hard core, I’ll play some more Ristar. Game is a banger
So much came out this last little while and the Black Friday sales are starting. Definitely want to play the new Pokemon, but I might stick to Halo multiplayer and the Animal Crossing update for the time being.
@arnoldfranklin
I purchased both the Jaguar and Rayman at a local Retro Video Game Store. Rayman is the Jaguar's best game, in my opinion!
All Pokémon. Started my Shining Pearl adventure, caught a shiny eevee in the Wild Area event in Shield, and will be spending a good chunk of Sunday participating in shinx Community Day in GO.
Finally playing through Jenny Leclue, it's really fun so far.
Cya
Raziel-chan
Currently enjoying playing Diablo III on Switch for the first time. Will probably dabble with Luigis Mansion 3 at some point too
@Teksetter ...I learnt today you can reclaim arrows hahaha It's such a good game. Reminds me of Deus Ex.
Just picked up a used switch after 5 month break from gaming. Can't wait to do another run of BotW and Hades.
And really can't wait to play Metroid Dread.
More Metroid Dread. Also bought the two BloodRayne Revamped games so will be getting started on those.
Continue on with Romancing Saga 2. I haven't played an RPG that has kicked my butt this bad in awhile. Very Rewarding to make my through this one, even if it gives me slight anxiety at some points.
Pokemon obviously. Love to see the success.
Hollow Knight!! Just beat the Grimm Troupe DLC and now I’m tackling Godseeker
I’ll be playing the adult pokemon, shin megami tensei V
Finishing up postgame for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch on Switch before trying out FF7 Integrade. After that, I still got a bunch to catch up on!
I'm playing NInja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge for the Wii U, Rayman Legends and Zelda Skyward Sword HD on the Switch OLED, and Zelda II on the new Zelda Game & Watch. Busy weekend!
I'm almost done with Shadowverse: Champion's Battle (just got to Chapter 8!) so I'm gonna try to finish it this weekend. The difficulty has really ramped up in the last couple chapters but I'm still having fun slowly getting through these battles. I'll switch to Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and keep working on case 3 when I'm in the mood for something different. And for multiplayer fun, Dead By Daylight and Mario Party Superstars will be my staples as usual!
YAY I finally finished Dreadtroid Med last night! Now I have to decide if I have the patience/free time to get the items I missed. Then those endings I wasn't speedy enough for. Then that hard mode I worry will break my fingers. Good thing I've got all that patience and free time probably!
Switch: ACNH & KotOR
DS: Professor Layton and the Curious Village (again), Hotel Dusk: Room 215

@Gimli it is, though I did spend a fair amount of time having no idea what the goal was - and when I finished it, I had no idea I HAD finished it (inadvertently veering off the path before seeing the credits).
But yes, it’s excellent.
Halo Infinite all weekend. For the Switch, also went back to Animal Crossing & played Inbento for a little while.
