The weekend is here, and about time, too. It's finally time to catch a breather and pick up your favourite Nintendo console for much-needed gaming time. And if you're here in the UK, it's a Bank Holiday weekend so you even get an extra day to belt around Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or head out on an unforgettable adventure in The Banner Saga. You'll find Team Nintendo Life's picks below, but what are you booting up over the days to come? Drop a vote in the poll if anything takes your fancy, then a comment down below. Have a great weekend!

This weekend, my gaming exploits will have a real retro theme to them. For a start, I'll be leaping further into The Legend of Kay Anniversary for our official review (due up on the site next week), but it's not just Switch that's getting a decent workout. Two weeks ago I picked up a new Game Boy Advance and a handful of carts.
I've already been having a whale of a time in Spyro 2: Season of Flame and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, as well as finding an excuse to play another Harry Potter game in the form of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I just which that flippin' screen was backlit...

It’s a bit of a 'Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V' job for my gaming plans this weekend. First off, I shall be continuing with Mother 3. Last weekend my thief skills were utilised to sneak in and navigate a castle, but after clearing the second chapter I didn’t have a chance to do much else. Picking up my adventure in the desert I hope to get a bit further over the next couple of days. Other than that, I assume shall be playing that WGAYPTW regular Splatoon 2 as my nephew is visiting and that usual results in lots of turf wars – and complaints about all those exciting looking-weapons I’m not buying.

It's been a busy week so I'm looking forward to winding down this bank holiday weekend. Saturday will see me recreating the Champions League final on FIFA 18 for Switch, let's see how Liverpool get on. Sunday I will be spending more time on Night In The Woods which I started last week, hopefully I can play through the entire game before heading back to work on Tuesday.

My wife and I have very, very sloooooowly been playing through Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, so I’m hoping to speed that up this weekend by completing the second half of Autumn Heights (best world ever) and moving on to Bright Savannah.
Then there’s that there Runner3 game. I’ve already seen the credits roll, but there’s still so much left to unlock and complete. I’m destined to chip away at that, not just this weekend, but possibly 'for-ev-er' (read in Sandlot voice) due to those darn 'impossible levels', which are totally kicking my butt!! I’m not sure I have what it takes...
Glen Fox, guides editor
So I was hoping to dig in and play Dark Souls: Remastered this weekend on Switch, but the delay has spoiled those plans somewhat. I did end up folding and getting the PS4 version though, so I’ll for sure be digging back into it.
In terms of Nintendo stuff, it’s slim pickings right now. I’m super psyched for E3 though – I can taste the exciting announcements already. I do need to finish off some stuff though. I gave up on Fire Emblem Warriors again, but not because I wasn’t enjoying it, and I also need to get back to Lost Sphear. Ideally, I clear them all before E3, in case anything exciting drops right away. It could happen?!

Still incredibly annoyed by Raphael’s defeat a week ago, this weekend I will be putting up my ARMS for the commish, Max Brass. An unexpected retro delight by the name Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon will feed my 8-bit Castlevania needs while I keep playing the waiting game for the Mega Man Collections since Capcom decided not to release the physical edition in Europe.
I do fear how many unproductive hours I will blissfully spending on Punch Club instead of working on my upcoming reviews. The freshly translated Super Robot Taisen Wars on the faithful Super Nintendo will also get some love.

I am currently sitting up in my bed while my partner, sick beside me in a tangle of sheets, is playing Stardew Valley. I feel the rumble of the Switch Pro controller as her horse gallops along yellow pathways. I type words on my laptop, looking up occasionally and seeing disagreements with mine creatures settled with swords, complex emotional rituals fulfilled with gifts, and fishing.
I just glanced over at the second Switch Pro controller on my nightstand, powered off and cold. I am thinking about Googling 'Stardew Valley multiplayer', but know it will link me to a Nintendo Life article with no new information, so I’ve closed the empty tab I just opened and will continue doing something else.
Ryan Craddock, news reporter
This weekend I’ll be exploring the seemingly ridiculous-looking (in a good way) Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido. There’s actually a demo available right now on Switch and I’ve only heard great things about it so I’m looking forward to it – if you have a Switch then you may as well try out the free demo!
If I get any extra spare time, I’ll probably end up playing Splatoon 2 (I think my Switch might start loading it up automatically if I keep playing it at this rate) or Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. I told myself I’d 100% that game this time around and I still haven’t done so. I wish days had more time in them!

Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon and Dragon Quest Builders.
I think my Weekend is covered pretty well
I already picked up and immediately beat "Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon"...considering picking up and diving into "The Way: Remastered". I have a thing for cinematic platformers and it looks like a neat game for a rainy weekend.
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. I love that game so much! Currently at world 2-7.
I'm just staring at the Ikaruga icon from the pre-purchace.
Mega Man 7 - I've never played MM8-10 and barely played 7. I don't like how zoomed in the game is. I'd rather have smaller sprites so I can see farther.
Splatoon 2 - Maybe some ranked matches. Got to S rank in Tower Control yesterday.
Celeste - 0 death runs.
Pokémon Shuffle - If you've ever read my comments, you know the deal by now.
Tempted by Bloodstained and The Banner Saga, other than that i'll probably just play some more God of War.
It'll be just PS4 for me games this weekend. God of War and Detroit: Become Human.
Still working on Hyrule Warriors...
God of War & Far Cry 5 on PS4. Still playing through Disgaea 5 on Switch.
Work, Mass then Champions League Final tonight for my beloved Liverpool... but I dare say I'll get some DOOM on Switch in too! Come on you Red Men.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar
Continue Runner 3 (that I preordered under $12) & Plague Road ($2)... some Splatoon 2 & finally Battle Chasers
Lego marvel superheroes 2
1. Portal Knights Switch
Still shaping my Vacant island.
2. The Sims 4 PS4
Built a house for a New family. Took 1 hour to finish.
3. ARMS
Crash Party Events
4. Animal Crossing New Leaf 3DS
Date and Time maintenance as usual.
5. DDR X2 & DDR MAX 2 Arcade
My ritual every Sunday at Game Center TimeZone & Amazone Super Mall Surabaya.
"...by completing the second half of Autumn Heights (best world ever)"
Hold on Dave, you shouldn't say that until you've visited world 5!! (just kidding literally every level in DKCTF is bursting with creativity and originality)
But I'm going to play Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga this weekend. It's the only M&L game I haven't played and I'm curious if it has withstood the test of time.
Gonna finish Mummy Demastered this weekend. Very good game.
Dark souls remastered, shame I had to buy it on the PS4
FIFA 18. Hard.
Also finally picked up a copy of Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, so might get round to firing it up for a try-out.
Donkey Kong Country Retutns (3ds)
Yakuza Kiwami (PS4)
wizard of legend and Battlechasers should keep me out of trouble....i hope
1. Bloodstained Curse of the Moon (Switch)
2. Axiom Verge (Switch)
3. Lego Worlds (Switch)
4. Castlevania Symphony of the Night (PSP)
One piece ultimate pirate warrior 3 and hyrule warriors! Love it wayyy to much to do anything else
Dark Souls remastered & Bloodstained curse of the moon!🌞🌚
Picked up Bloodstained and loving every minute of it, its essentially a NES Castlevania 4 and as a huge Castlevania fan its one of the best games I've played this year.
Other than that I've restarted Mario Odyssey and somehow it's even more fun second time round, this game would be perfect if it had Boo's and a ghost house, as it is it'll have to settle for just being the best platform game ever made. Also some more Hyrule Warriors and a bit of Mario Kart, all the while staring at the Mario Tennis icon and cursing that I can't play it yet
Ironcast sucked me back in, so a bit of that. Some Bloodstained, Hyrule Warriors, Sushi Striker, and probably some Wizard of Legend, which also has hooks in me.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Pokemon Go for me.
I'll be scouring the internet looking for ROM fan translations that NLife recommend in their articles. Maybe even start a discussion on the forums on any said game?
Taking a mini vacation for the Memorial Day weekend here in the states. More time for games! I’m going to pick up Wulverblade before I leave and play some more Rabbids, I’ve been gearing up for the DK expansion. If you’re also from the states, safe travels and have a great long weekend.
Champions league final and luigis mansion 2
Salaaaaaaaaaaah
Resident Evil Revelations HD on Nintendo Switch (it's really fun to control with detached joycons due to the motion controls) and Rayman 2: The Great Escape via my PSVita (not bad for an early platformer, but I prefer Spyro and Klonoa).
Holy wow, man, my weekend is packed. I'm on vacation and we have no idea what we're doing, so on the days where we just stay in our little place we're staying in, I'm free to play all day!
I've recently picked my SNES Classic back up and have sunk easily 3 hours into Earthbound. I can now see why people think it's so good. It's because it's so good! 😃 I'm stuck in Happy-Happy Village. I guess you could say I'm feeling a little blue, blue...
I've been playing (more) Splatoon and ARMS, having fun with those. Also been playing some light Donkey Kong Country.
Tried and failed to breed some Shinies in Pokémon Moon! 🙃
I'm gonna play the Sushi Striker demo too! It looks fun!
Everyone have a safe, blessed, and fun weekend! 😊
Edit: Well, I would be playing Splatoon if the connection weren't unstable. Yay.
Curse of the Moon. Such a terrific game... Honestly it is probably my new favorite Castlevania.
And of course I'll be continuing to make headway on Infernium. I'm enjoying it so much, even if it can be crazy hard at times.
@Equinox I hit 100 hours on Xenoblade 2 last night. And I'm still on Chapter 5. I'm actually quite glad my copy of Dark Souls didn't arrive this weekend. No rush, Bamco, no rush...
Finishing Oxenfree & continuing Rayman Legends. I paid $25 for RL & what a steal. Great platformer!
I'm hoping to complete Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze this weekend. I'm feeling very funky.
Darkest Dungeon. I started it yesterday and have been having a ball.
Isaac. Three bloody times now I have reached Hush with The Lost on Hard, and reduced him to below a quarter of health, only to succumb. Once I only had about three hits left to take him. Arrrggghhh!!!
Enjoying Hyrule Warriors all over again as well as struggling with Runner3. Way more difficult than Runner2.
I'm hooked on Strange Journey Redux, Sector D, grinding Macca right now.
Bloodstained - my second favorite"Castlevania" game (Super Castlevania is my favorite). Ok so it's not really a Castlevania game, but it's great!
Bought quite a few games recently so it’s a ‘spoilt for choice’ scenario. Will be changing between Doom, Bloodstained, mega man legacy collection 1+2 and gunvolt. Think I’ll start with some more Doom
Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition.
Tropical freeze going for 200% at 150% so far. I’m tempted by the fifa 18 discount is it a good game? Haven’t played a football game for about 20 years would I enjoy it?🤔
Dang no labo?
I may dabble in some state of decay 2 but definitely more far cry 5
I'm currently marathoning the God of War series in chronological order. I'm in the middle of Ghost of Sparta, and I still have 2, 3, and the new one to do as well.
I may also play some Steredenn: Binary Stars.
@MartyFlanMJFan I`m glad you have awesome Switch games man! You`ll need them after Real Madrid wins another Champions ;D
@sandman89 I`ve played soccer games since Winning Eleven, and I thinkt FIFA 18 is pretty good. I`d buy it given the price and the free World Cup update coming in a few days. The bad thing is there doesn`t seem to be a way of playing with your friends? Not really sure, don`t know anyone who owns the game
Bloodstained, Altered Beast. And beat Rayman Legends yesterday. Such a masterpiece.
Just beat the Wonder Boy lll remake last night and had a blast with it especially since I got it for half off. I still need to go back and get a heart and a few pieces of gear but that can wait.
I'll probably jump back into Mario + Rabbids (I'm on world 3 and loving it) and play some more sky rogue (don't know why but I love this game so much).
@1UP_MARIO: Love the new profile picture
@Alex90 I'm playing SMT Strange Jouney too. Very hard and long game.
My copy of Street fighter 30th arrived today. So far I’ve played Street Fighter for the first (and probably last) time ever and now I’m jumping amongst the different versions of SF2.
I’m sat outside a tent in a big green field but my phone still has reception so I might see if the online is up to much yet.
I still haven’t put together my Labo kit, so maybe I’ll do that. I doubt it though as it feels more like work than fun to me. Boy do I regret this purchase.
Other than that, Splatoon 2 for like the 60th weekend in a row. I’m also having constant connection errors (never was an issue before this past week) so I might not bother.
Wanted to play Runner3, but they went and changed what made 1 and 2 so good in my opinion ... so I’ll wait for a sale.
So probably not much gaming this weekend.
Between my SNES mini and my PC I’ve probably played over 100 games today, albeit briefly 😁
Nintendo Switch
Oxenfree: Finally getting back to this after a break and loving it!
Windows Phone
Kinectimals Unleashed
Jetpack Joyride
@Kid_Sickarus
"My copy of Street fighter 30th arrived today."
Huh ?!
How did you get so early ?
It supposed to be released on 29 May 2018.
Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS.
Loving Bloodstained. On level 7 now. It's the best Castlevania NES game, lol. Still attacking Hyrule Warriors with a friend near daily, finished story mode and only 27% done with adventure map 1. Beat Megaman 2-6, walked away halfway through 7-8, got to wily's castle in 9, and beat 10 with protoman, but it was so fun, definitely going to retry with megaman after I beat Bloodstained. So much fun to be had this weekend!
@Mr_Pepperami you are enjoying DOOM?
i hope multiplayer to stardew comes soon
Megaman collection 1, tropical freeze, and I may play some Mario rabbids kingdom battle
@MartyFlanMJFan loving it. There’s a lot more to the package than I originally thought there would be. It’s so good having that on the go. It’s totally sold me on FPS games on the system. Looking forward to wolfenstein
Dog decided I didn’t need to sleep in, so the weekend started with some shrine runs in BotW. Planning to touch on DK, Warriors, Stardew, and Link Between Worlds.
Runner 3, Rocket League, and perhaps some South Park
PS4- Street Fighter V, Persona 5, Tekken 7, and WWE 2K18
Switch- Mario Kart 8, Arms, and Bayonetta
@Anti-Matter ordered from Base.com and they dispatched it two days ago. Maybe because of the bank holiday? I’m enjoying it but there is a day one patch I haven’t downloaded and i’ve noticed Ryu is prone to random heavy kicks (which in fairness did win me a round but are actually annoying as heck)
Monster hunter xx demo
I beat Bloodstain in 1 1/2 hours it was great and worth it. The second playthrough will be more amazing because now I will explore. Such an amazing Classic Castlevania 3 sequel. It was short but it was so sweet.
@MattFox we're bringing home number six mate lol
I have an insanely busy weekend before heading out of state for a few days, but I'll still be tackling Twilight Princess HD and Ever Oasis when I can. The latter may be coming with me on my trip, though I'm unsure how often I'll be able to pick up my 3DS during that time.
Meh, at least I'm off of work all next week!
I picked up Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap when it was on sale last week, so I'll probably try and finish that this weekend. And good LORD this game is difficult! I've attempted to complete Lion Man's section dozens of times to no avail. I thought I'd be a platformer god after beating Celeste, but Wonder Boy has proven me wrong! I still love the old school charm regardless, though, and the beautiful art and gorgeous soundtrack still keep me going.
Also, more Dragon Quest V as usual. Just got to the later adult-timeline and saw my kids all grown up, and man...this just got real.
Still working my way through DK:TF. Almost done! Just one level and the final boss to complete, and then the last secret world. I will be sad to see it finished! But, I can imagine running through it again sometime.
Will be playing a ton of God of War. Just dying to know where the story goes. YOU GUYS it is really good.
If circumstances were a bit better I WOULD be playing Bloodstained:CotM and Dark Souls but... that's life. So, I'll continue to plow through Resident Evil Revelations 2, dipping off to Mario Kart 8D here and there.
I'll be finishing the Sushi Striker demo and then diving head first into Bloodstained!
Finishing Life is Strange on PS4 and starting Bloodstained on Switch.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Mega Man Legacy Collection.
Still haven't received my code for Bloodstained Curse of the Moon- just a temporary steam key until our codes get sent out but I'm not going to play it on Steam. I'll wait.
Hyrule Warriors and man do i suck at runner 3. Jumping up the freakin steps are what's killing me.
Dark Souls Remastered and Pinball FX on my Switch with the mini pinball cabinet I built.
@ilikeike: Oh man, I know how you feel about Wonder boy. It was pretty easy up to that point (not to say I didn't die, because I did), but once I reached that point I, no joke, had to do it like fifty times before I finally got it. In my opinion that is the hardest part of the whole game.
Have another trip this weekend, so Battle Chasers: Nightwar
And can look forward to Playing Assassin Creed: Origin when I get home... Planing on doing 100% of Game+DLC 🙂
FRAMED
Finally able to make progress in Wulverblade thanks to recent patch and beat boss brothers at end of world 2 after being stuck for 6 months. That felt good.
Finishing Bayonetta 2... working on Splatoon 2 single (prepare for octo expansion) and Plague Knight campaign (prepare for king knight expansion).
Finally, Doom (full game) and Doom (pinball)
I was away last weekend, so finally enjoying Baseball Stars Professional. Love playing teams I did not have a chance to dominate on the NES. The Super Stars (with Indy, Bond and “butman” are TOUGH!
Also bought and played Castle Of Heart on the newly added easy mode. Not too shabby....
@Executer66 Well it's good to know I'm not the only one who had troubles with that section! I'm thinking I'll go back to Mouse Man's area to stock up on some potions in the shop there. It'll be tricky, but hopefully worth it!
Bloodstained and Battle Chasers on Switch, Detroit: Become Human on PS4.
Normally would be fighting hard to effin go get that X-rank in Splatoon2 (friggin 800+ hours and still only S+5 in Tower and Splat Zones, but my hopes of getting there keep diminishing), but I'm on a trip to Hamburg and Berlin so that means more time for all those lovely Mega Man games. Beat 1-3 so far and I keep finding little things that seem new to me (even though they obviously aren't) and I'm really looking forward to play 6, 8 and 10 because I never got to try those so far.
Also should continue my Gunvolt2 save (and finally get gud at it) because this game is just so good. Same as Shovel Knight (currently Specter of Torment). And Wonder Boy remake from the 50% sale is still waiting to be finished (just unlocked Lion).
I'll also finish XC2 (currently at around 200 hours) when I get home and can dock the Switch again.
Too many amazing games on this hybrid console. And yes I spend WAY to much time on it.
Gah, only about a month left until Octopath releases and I have SO much to finish and try out before that... good times.
Playing ARMS Party Crash, and that's about it. Exams are really soon and the workload is huge, so it's about all I have time for, even with the 4 day weekend.
Almost 300 hours in Stardew Valley, started a new farm a week ago and I'm already 40 hours in. Almost got 400K in one year and a completed community centre, so I got that going for me which is nice.
I wish I was playing Splinter Cell Pandora tomorrow! Love that game.
I am done with DKTF (at least for the moment) and coming back to Naruto (today I 100% the first one and I am starting the second) and maybe south park as the patch recovered by saved games!!! Hurray
@MartyFlanMJFan sorry for the final. You would almost think your keeper was pressured by a gambling syndicate when you see how he played in this match. Would have preferred Liverpool to win this.
OVERWATCH and BOTW.
Recently played through the Sushi Striker Demo on Switch. As great as that game looks on Switch I'd rather have the more convenient portability of the 3ds as well as the cheaper price point so I'll pick up the 3ds version. As for what I'll play this weekend I'll be going through the Octopath Traveler Demo finally and I'll play some Splatoon 2
Wario Land 2
Knuckles’ Chaotix
Arms
Maybe if there’s time, some DSi Rayman or BotW Hinox Hunting
Still playing Pokémon games. Maybe some demos too
Bloodstained is a very sensitive topic right now for a bunch of people. I haven’t played it yet since my backer code hasn’t arrived yet but you can bet your tookis I’d be all over that this weekend if I were able.
Otherwise I’m playing Aqua Kitty UDX and Skyrim.
I’m almost done with Celeste, I think. So I’ll be hammering that away. I would like to wrap it because I want to get Bloodstained but hate having backlogs. Not sure what’s going to break before I beat Celeste though me or my switch...
I’m still plugging away at FFVI on SNES Mini. Getting very close to completion though.
@thiz Started it and then stopped, simple as that. Not everyone has 3 hours a day to sit and play video games...
I’ll be playing Detroit: Become Human on PS4. It just released and I’m almost finished with it. Not sure what I’ll play next. Maybe some Splatoon? Actually I think I might go and play that right now. I miss my Switch.
Skyrim
Vostok Inc.
The Way Remastered
Maybe Wulverblade & Castle of Heart
PS4: Overwatch, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon
Mobile: Game Dev Tycoon
Dragon Quest 9 on my 3ds! I have really gotten into the mainline DQ games in the last couple of years, and have absolutely loved 4, 7 and 8 (the 3ds remasters).
It is like gaming comfort food for me.
I beat Mega Man 9 earlier in the week. I beat Bloodstained four times the day it was released. Last night I did a Taroth raid with some friends, but I feel my time on Monster Hunter World may be reaching it’s satisfied end. The only trophies I have left are the two gold crown ones, and most of the inventory in the game are made. Went and saw Solo and finally picked up the Shantae limited edition. Wished I had a coop buddy on Hyrule Warriors, but maybe in due time.
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles
Gonna pre-order Sushi Strikers and Crash Bandicoot Ina day or two.
@Dom: Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer'sPhilosopher's Stone on the GBA is, IMO, quite an underrated game. The GBC version by Griptonite will always be my favorite version, but the version you're playing is a close second! I think the soundtrack alone is worth it.Overwatch, Fortnite and Pokemon Ultra Moon.. kind of.
Super Daryl Deluxe, Resident Evil 4, and Megaman Battle Network 6. Kinda hopping all over the place, lol.
I’m doing something that I haven’t done in months: I’m multi-tasking! South Park: FBW (if you haven’t played it, and like the series, then you should pick it up! It’s really good!), Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (the Castlevania III sequel I’ve always wanted!), and Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2 (well, I’m playing 9. I hate giving Capcom money, but....I really love Mega Man 9!).
Mario Odyssey for me. I told myself that I didn’t care about getting all the moons but I keep finding myself wandering around looking for more fricken moons. It’s love /hate right now. I did try out the Sushi Strikers demo which solidified my decision to preorder on Amazon
@Eef
I also wasn’t impressed with Happy Birthdays. I thought it sounded pretty interesting but it isn’t delivering for me. I’m glad they put out a demo though..
Finishing up my Trophy hunt for Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories by playing through the Reverse/Rebirth chapter on Critical Mode and levelling Riku up to Lv.99. I also might start on Cucco's Fury in Hyrule Warriors DE.
@bluedogrulez yea I took the plunge on castle of heart too and I'm pleasently suprised. Glad there is a easy mode though, the pits and traps are hard enough as it is.
The Banner saga.
@Ralizah Rayman 2 on PS Vita (the PS1 version) is not one of the best ways to play the game, it was a downgraded port, if you can play it on N64, or especially PS2 (available on PS3's PSN) or Dreamcast, you will have a better game.
I'm playing Megaman Legacy Collection 1+2 - just have to finish 6 before moving on to the next collection. I'd never understood why so many dislike 5 and 6 - I still think they are great! Especially 6 offers something new with Rush Jet and Power. 5' end boss was actually one of the most difficult of all of the NES entries.
Bloodstained, Shantae: Half Genie Hero, and Streets of Red have been my games this weekend.
Ball in a cup for the last hour, it's so fun trying to get the ball in the cup
Still working on Resident Evil 7, but on my Switch, I’m playing Oxenfree and DKC Tropical Freeze. I wholeheartedly apologize for saying I didn’t want DKC on Switch. Turns out I really like having a platformer to grind for collectibles. Mutant Mudds was great and got me into DKC.
@Drussa cheers
Bloodstained and Hyrule Warriors (I've not run into any performance issues some have been complaining about.)
I've been playing Xenoblade chronicles 2, Death Road to Canada and Football Manager.
Been playing some Halo Master Chief Collection on Xbone. As for Switch, not a lot played this weekend but I do wanna try out the Fairune collection and Runner 3.
Mistakenly thought Darks Souls was out on switch yesterday...found out at Target that it was delayed. This is a hard game.
The same thing I play every weekend Pinky. Grand Theft Auto Online!
A bit late to the party, but I'm finally paying Mario Odyssey for the first time this weekend. So far its crazy good, like the best parts of every 3D Mario game blended together...and on crack for good measure!
Late to the party too! I've just started playing Botw expansion pass, and so far just been collecting all the armour goodies before I try the Master Sword Trials. Probably squeeze in a bit of Splatoon 2 as well and try chapter 2 of Metal Gear Solid 5, which I got with games with gold.
I keep checking this thread every weekend so I thought I'd contribute for once.
I'm still collecting those sweet, sweet zombo points and powering up my custom charas in Death Road to Canada - they're mostly based on my family.
If only having an oblivious little brother was as useful in real life!
@Oscarzxn It's the only version of the game I have access to at present, so it's what I'm running with. From what I hear, the DC version puts the others to shame, so if I ever replay it someday, I might try to find that version of the game.
I’m sticking with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The game is brilliant, I don’t want it to end. I should buy the DLC this week.
was at the animazement convention on Saturday. I was playing hyrule warriors, donkey kong tf, bayonetta 2, ultra street fighter II,
and nba 2k18
I'm still in the middle of The Fractured but Whole (I've been having som major game-breaking glitch issues, so progress is slow) and I'll be playing World of Warcraft as well. Of course some Pokémon Go, that's a daily thing.
@Phle
Update your game. Ubisoft just released a patch for South Park fixing the known issues.
@JaxonH Really?! Thanks, I'll try it. I've had to go back to old saves so many times, I've lost many, many hours of gameplay and my feelings towards the game is kind of crushed. I definitely would not have bought it if I knew how glitchy it is / was (depending if updating the game will help. I keep getting this "your character is back to start" thing happening and then I loose all my abilities and I am suddenly dressed in the start outfit and there is nothing to do about it other than loading an old save. I been wondering if it was because I refuse to link the game to a Ubisoft account...)
@Phle
Ya, a lot of people were waiting for that patch to release. Idk if it fixes every issue, but I know it addresses the save game issues for sure, and a bunch of other smaller stuff.
Still working on the special levels in DKC Tropical Freeze. Like others, I haven't received my backer code for Bloodstained Curse of the Moon on the Switch (just a temporary Steam code), so I'm waiting on that one for now. Really looking forward to it though!
I really enjoyed Banner Saga this weekend, since I hadn't tried it before. I think it's my new favorite indie game by now. I's quite an entertaining Viking story in one of the most beautiful settings I've seen lately. The controls are questionable at times but they are far from game-breaking. The only serious con is that I sometime had hard time targeting the right unit.
@NintendoPete I don't think there's much dislike for Mega Man 5+6, it's just that by the time those released on NES (1992-3) many had already moved on to Super NES (including me) so just missed out on them when they were new so there's not as much nostalgia for those titles as say, Mega Man 2,3, and X. Great games of course! You mentioned the final boss on MM5, have you played MM7 yet? Wily Capsule 7 is generally considered to be the hardest final boss in the classic Mega Man series.
@tazbones my thoughts exactly...I´m enjoying it so far (couple of hours into the game) but sometimes I hit another unit even after double-checking I´m on the correct target. I find this frustrating because I´m finding out sometimes you don´t get a second chance in this game...it´s very challenging!
Strikers 1945 II yet again, I bought Tengai which is great, and Stern Pinball Arcade - Frankenstein and Ghostbusters tables, it's a great pinball sim! I'm enjoying turning my Switch into an old school arcade at the mo.
Ah, man. I started Super Daryl Deluxe in like April and I need to finish that before Mario Tennis is out lol.

Now I know what you are talking about - I currently have problems with Wily's second form after beating the 8 robot masters. Man I forgot how difficult it is to evade the four bullets.
@NintendoPete At least there are save states so you don't have to redo the boss rush if you game over. The best way I could dodge the shots was stand on the left side, slide way to the right, jump back to the left. I still usually have to use all 4 E-Tanks and 1 M tank.
@mauhlin12
Na - I don't use save states . I almost beat him a few moments ago but my timing with his weak weapon is off. Have to try again
@Guitar_bard one of the best in the series
@River3636 I am absolutely loving it.
It's funny that as a kid when the NES was new, I had zero interest in JRPG's. Zelda was the closest I got to a role playing game, as I was all about Mario, Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, etc.
Now, as an adult, JRPG's are what I mostly play!
I spent the weekend playing Another World on SNES here it was titled Out of this World i sat down and played it start to finish.
I've been playing bloodstained and Street fighter 30th anniversary collection because I received my copy early:D
@JaxonH Updated that game and I’ve had no more glitches so far (^_^)
