Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? (30th August)

Or have you Forgotten?

The weekend has crept up on us once again, so it's time to kick back with a game or two. Before we get to our plans, however, let's look back on all the Nintendo news that happened this week.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? (16th August)

Excelsior!

The freakin' weekend is finally upon us, and we've got games to play! Before we get into our plans, though, let's recap the week. It was a pretty quiet one in Nintendo Land, with not so much as a whiff of a Direct — which is weird, after the last three weeks of showcases.

Feature "The Yoyo Was Special" - Finding The GBA Magic In 'Pipistrello And The Cursed Yoyo'

Scoot over, Ness

We've had our eyes on this long-lost GBA-looking adventure ever since we first discovered it at Gamescom back in 2024. The combat, movement, and visuals instantly reminded us of the handheld Zelda entries, but instead of a sword, the main protagonist uses a yoyo to dispatch foes and solve loads of puzzles. You've also got a spunky,...
