It's Saturday! And that means it's time, once again, to discuss our weekend gaming plans. Team Nintendo Life has the usual range of games on the go this weekend, from RPGs to party antics and everything in between, so make sure to read through our lovingly crafted words and join in the fun with our poll and comment section below. Enjoy!

I'm going away for a short holiday this weekend, so I'm gonna dig into something new I think – probably Hollow Knight. It's a mishmash of a few different genres I love (Dark Souls, Metroidvania, and platformer) so I'm expecting good things. If I don't immediately take to it I'll probably go back to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - stalled on that 'cos it got a bit repetitive, just like the first one.
Apart from that, I'm not really playing my Switch much at the minute! Stoked for Pokémon Let's Go but taking the time to play some Black Ops 4 and Guild Wars 2 in the meantime. What can I say? I like a varied gaming diet...

Every night for the past week has been Super Mario Party night, and I daresay this will continue for the foreseeable future. Last week I actually mentioned grabbing Death Squared and the new Overcooked 2 DLC, with the intention of playing through those, but a last minute mention of nipping out to find a copy of Super Mario Party and a Chinese takeaway quickly ruined that - and we've been hooked on Mario's colourful new world ever since.
My household is currently making our way through each of the game's modes, hoping to collect each of the five gems along the way. I managed a particularly satisfying win last night (grabbing five stars in just a ten-turn game) so hopefully I can recreate that success over the weekend.

This weekend I need to touch up on a few post-production tasks for my upcoming new music album release out next week. My perfectionist doesn't allow me decent sleep until those are done away with, so I will need to at the very least try to look like I’m staying away from my Switch.
My neighbours have pointed out that I picked up a strange habit of screaming out at the top of my lungs every time I pull a special move in Dragon Ball FighterZ; I didn't really notice but it does explain my sore throat in the morning. While expediting completion of DBZ story arcs will continue, Valkyria Chronicles 4 proceeds to absolutely overwhelm me with its brilliance. It is quite clear I won’t be able to finish the game before the original arrives on 16th October, but I will keep on making progress this weekend, along with what I believe are the closing hours of my prologue adventures on the back of a Titan in Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country.
Game of the week award goes to Mark of the Ninja: Remastered. It was a close call between this and the surprise elbow drop from Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition arrival on Monday, but despite “me gusta la lucha” any game with ‘Ninja’ in the title is an automatic winner. I promise to pretend to look away during the more brutal assassination animations.

I’ve recently acquired a New Nintendo 2DS XL, so this weekend my plan is to revisit some of my favourite games from the 3DS library and see how they hold up on a bigger display. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon sounds like a good place to start considering the original game has just been released on the same system. I might even move onto the original game at some point.
When I’m not playing standard 3DS releases, I plan to make use of the ‘New’ system by downloading a few games from the eShop that likely won’t be made available on the Switch any time soon. This includes Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World and the Donkey Kong Country trilogy. I’m very excited about being able to take these games with me wherever I go.

This weekend my free time will be spent flying through the stars and planets of Starlink: Battle for Atlas. As a life-long Starfox fan - and someone who can't get enough of dogfighting games in general - I cannot wait to fire up my Arwing and leap into Switch's exclusive content. Expect my official verdict right here on Nintendo Life next week. I'll also be playing a LOT of a certain new AAA shooter, but then again, if you know me then that's hardly a shocking revelation.
Steve Bowling, US editor
This weekend is a busy one. While I longingly stare at a group of Starlink toys with no game to play them with, I'll be diving into The World Ends With You, which I missed on the DS back in the day. I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about, however, as with most RPGs, I'm sure I'll take a break in between which means I'll still be plugging away at The Messenger and Crossing Souls; two of my favourite indies this year.

Ahh... the mid-month slump where I’ve spent nearly all my extra dosh on takeaway food, shopping trips and random stuff online. It happens every month but I’m so happy with a game that I’m even taking it into work with me to play on my lunch breaks and when the boss isn’t looking, and it goes by the name of Hollow Knight. This may seem very strange to compare it to, but it’s reminding me of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. I’m drawing this comparison because the last time I spent a lengthy amount of time texting my friends to see what they’d uncovered and getting jointly excitable about secret areas and quirky enemies was with Link and the gang last year.
Developer Team Cherry has done an excellent job of balancing the title and it’s just so difficult to put down that even Super Mario Party will probably only earn around an hour or so of my precious gaming time.

Mi gente, ¡voy a jugar “Guacamelee! Súper Turbo Campeonato Edición” para el Nintendo Switch!
Guacamelee is a game that occupies a peculiar place in my heart, sporting a little bit “is it, or isn’t it?” when accounting for homage vs. caricature. My best guess is that it’s a bit of both, and while your local Mexican Nintendo writer tires of pueblo towns and hard-up locals as the only point of reference for Mexican culture, that doesn’t make Juan Aguacate any less awesome of a protagonist. It also doesn’t hurt that the game itself is an absolute joy of an action platformer, borrowing the very best of the Metroidvania formula and marrying it to a silky smooth combat system that never gets old. What fun to see Guacamelee surprisingly drop on the Nintendo Switch this week, with promise of the sequel coming soon after.
Like fun? Bright colors? Tons of hidden secrets? Spend the weekend playing through Guacamelee if you haven’t played it before. It just might inspire you to go on and create the next, great Mexican-flavored video game. May I suggest a game about a modern-day, Mexican grad student who likes to write about Nintendo?

While I’m waiting on the release of single player games like Starlink, Dark Souls: Remastered, and Red Dead Redemption 2, I’m staying busy with Super Mario Party multiplayer shenanigans. So far, most matches between the wife and I (and the CPU) have gone in my favor, but she’s improving, and I’m liking my chances of winning less and less. When we aren’t partying with Mario and pals, I’ve been having a great time watching her play through Mega Man 11 (her very first Mega Man experience). With only three Wily stages left, I believe she may see the credits roll before the end of the weekend. I just hope none of this interferes with postseason baseball…

I'm probably going to play a lot of Octopath Traveler.
I'm playing The Missing. Love all the screaming in this game, I think it's rated M for mutilation.
Just picked up Darkest Dungeon ancestral edition, I had it when it first came out on steam but am really enjoying getting back into the story I can weave within this game and the amount that I can care for characters, I am just going to do one dungeon run per sitting and spend much more time between runs tweaking and perfecting.
Penguin Wars, and I just discovered there's new features patched into Bomberman, so I think I'll spend some time with that game after a long break.
I'm gonna start Shadows of the Tomb Raider ! Dunno why but I have a kind of Indiana Jones vibe that runs through my veins for some days now... so it's the perfect moment to go to an adventure !
Dead Cells has taken over my life. So addictive.
My son and I are in the middle of completing Breath of the Wild together. But DIY jobs and a couple of kids parties are disrupting it this weekend.
Son’s playing Splatoon 2 whilst he waits for me on the jobs.
I'm playing:
1. (Shadow of the) Tomb Raider (PC)
2. Splatoon 2.
3. DragonBall FighterZ
4. Skyrim (Switch / PC)
and a few others.
Monster hunter GU
Mark of the Ninja, Super Mario Party and Fear Effect Sedna.
Neo Geo with a friend and some Sky Force. Actually I can't wait for Tuesday and Starlink.
I just finished Xenoblade 2 The Golden Country. Soooo..... Probably just gonna lay down and cry for a few days
1. Portal Knights ~Gold Throne Edition~ (PS4)
I start to build something in Creative Mode, but still Clueless what should i build. Long time no play the PS4 version after played the Switch version.
2. The Sims 4 (PS4)
Continue the progress of my characters.
I still have to draw something for my Drawing lesson. If i have enough time, i might start to build either Fishing Rod / Motorbike of LABO Toy Cons 01.
I am playing Wolfenstein The New Order on PS4. Yesterday I finished The Old Blood.
Super Mario Party and Fallout 3.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna the Golden Country, and Okami HD. I need to finish at least one of them before I start on Disgaea 1 and Valkyria Chronicles 4. But both of those games are sitting on my table, calling to me.
Kid icarus uprising, The last of us DLC, smash bros melee and brawlhalla.
I heavely advice Kid Icarus uprising, it is a fantastic game!
Hopefully some Super Mario Party with friends! I invited them over since previous weekend was a lot of fun with that game. It's too bad people have problems with it.
I finally started to play persona 4 golden on my vita, I bought it 4 years ago but it just ended up in my backlog. Also planning on playing borderlands 2 and tearaway on my vita.
Nintendo is making me play a bunch of pirated games.
I’ll probably carry on with Zelda: link to the past mainly.
Picked up Torna (never played XC2) I’m enjoying it overall but my god are the graphics awful.
Also got Guacamelee the other day - I’m 2 hours in and really enjoying it.
I'll stick with Octopath Traveler ( Already 60 hours in )
And I'll solve at least one case in L.A Noire
Been playing Super Mario Party with the kids - it's really good. I started Wolfenstein II last night and will try to make progress when the kids are asleep and the wife is out.
I’m plugging away at Skyrim and Wolfenstein, but I picked up Child of Light and that’s excellent as well! I love turn-based RPG’s and this one does some fun stuff with keeping you engaged with real-time actions as well.
I'm playing guitar
Just finished the main story of The Lego Movie Videogame, now need to go back and start collecting everything. Probably will pick up a few rounds of Ms. Pac-Man and some Xenoblade Chronciles X (finally got my Skell this play through).
Luigi's Mansion on 3DS and Mark of the Ninja Remastered for me!
I’ve finally dug deep into an indie gem I’ve been neglecting, the truly immersive and diabolically tense Dandara. I haven’t seen much love for the game, and true, it’s a short experience with no real replay value beyond the pleasure of mastering her movement. But hoo boy, it’s crazy FUN once that finally clicks and you’re zipping and blasting through those gorgeously drawn caverns. The music and sound design are top-notch. And it’s refreshing to play a game wherein you aren’t a white man holding a gun or a sword. I can’t recommend it enough and at the price ($7.99 when I picked it up) it’s a no-brainer for anyone interested in original indie experiences on the Switch. Anyone else out there got love for Dandara?
Great to see so many people on Octopath Traveler, as I think I might finally start it this weekend, having bought it at launch. Apart from that, I will certainly get some more shiny metals in Phantom Hourglass - I love the puzzles in this game, and it's a real joy to mess around with a DS Lite sometimes. Maybe I'll even try to pick up the original TWEWY...
Picking up a pro controller and Wolfenstein 2 today.
@nofriendo Dandara is great! Going back to finish it after I get the true ending in Hollow Knight....and after I recover from Golden Country lol
Working through chapter 3 in Octopath Traveler and hopefully playing some Mario Party! 😊
I beat Mega Man 11's Super Hero mode and then I went back to the Mega Man Legacy Collection to rectify my childhood self's failure to beat the original Mega Man. Surprisingly enough, I found the game to be really simplistic and straight-forward, not counting my numerous deaths to a certain yellow menace before I mastered the art of tapping the jump button to avoid its blocks without leaving myself open against the next one. I suppose having my marathon dedicated to 100% running the entire X and Zero series fresh in my mind helped a lot.
Stuck on MH GU and the usual Splatoon2 madness (those X-rank matches are fun and tense but really show me how far the skill cap in this game goes).
Also slowly chipping away at the challenging Mega Man 11. And I sampled Hyper Light Drifter today (also found it to be surprisingly difficult). Either my gaming skills have rusted, or I'm playing very tough games at the moment - probably both.
Happy gaming everyone!
Nefarious.
Since finishing SK: Plague of Shadows last night, I'm trying to stay focused and finally finish luigis mansion 2. I always seem to play for a while then come back to it. Hopefully i truck through it this time with no breaks. Maybe I'll play a little megaman 11 as well
Playing for the first time, Batman The Telltale series. Bought it just for 17 Euros (used), couldn't resist, as a I am a good fan of the Bat. So far so good: no crashes, bugs, imput lag..
I'm having a hard time putting down Marble It Up! Going for diamond times and hunting for all the hidden marbles has proven more fun than I could have imagined. This is already one of my favorite Switch games. Heck, it even got me to stop playing Spider-Man.
Real life Splatoon armed with a roller and inkbrush and I'll splat anyone who comes in my way! Oh how I wished painting was as fun as in videogames...
Arena of Valor.
COD Blackout/Zombies.
Mega man 11,resident evil revelation and Luigis mansion 3ds
I start my vacation today so I plan to get in as much games as possible. Super Mario Odyssey, SNK Heroines, Capcom Beat em Up Collection, Mario Kart 8, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Sonic Mania, and some Neo Geo games all on Switch. And some games on PS4 too.
I'm still on xenoblade 2,only 15 hours in, so i got a looong way to go 😂 and I'll play a little splatoon 2 on the side
@1UP_MARIO I just finished Wolfenstein 2 last night. One of the most intense games I’ve played!
I just beat Zant in TP HD, so I’ll finish that later. Plan on playing some Dark Moon, along with weekend to-do list of junk. Might play some Smash if my buddy is up for it.
@Xaritah I finished Xenoblade 2 and Torna last week. Xenoblade 2 may be my favorite game!! So so good!
Well, the kiddos are on a Mii Maker binge, and my 5yr old likes to grief me in Yoshi's Wooly World, so currently it's a Wii U kindve morning. 😄
After their bedtime I'll dive back into Darkest Dungeon Ancestral Ed. and try out Pinball FX's first batch of real-life Williams pins (Medieval Madness, Junkyard, and High Speed 2).
I'm eagerly awaiting Dark Souls this Friday - even took the day off!
Wishing everyone a fun and peaceful weekend!
@mossimac I'm really loving it, but the battle system is really hard to understand completely, i got most of it, but i know I'm still not quite there 😅 and harder than that is trying to understand how level up poppy, seriously not getting anything of that tiger tiger! Parts thing 😅 but loving the game so much that, when i was only 5 hours in i bought the DLC 😁
I’ll be continuing to enjoy Super Mario Party’s return to form, though I really wish there were a few more boards. Other than that, I’m re-addicted to Hyrule Warriors and its endless Adventure Mode maps. There’s way too much to unlock in that game.
I’m playing yooka laylee and I’m absolutely loving it it’s fantastic I have put off buying it for so long because of the bad reviews but it is £10 on steam so thought I’d give it a try and omg I’m so pleased I did. It’s gorgeous controls better than banjo ever did although it’s still got a wonky camera like the good old days. Great sense of humour the voices are not annoying like all reviewers said I just feel the game has been really badly judged I wonder if some of them had even played banjo before or any collectathon. #idiots.
@sandman89 It’s nice to see someone else enjoying Yooka Laylee. I recently finished it to 100% and adored it. It’s not perfect, but it was more than entertaining and it took me back to a simpler time, when I had plenty of collect-a-thon playformers to play.
@mossimac cheers. Looking forward to it.
@Xaritah
DLC is fantastic. Now you can turn off mob agro in option menu. Made the game more entertaining for my part. You can also turn on auto combat for grinding trash.
Dead Cells took me about 15 hours to click, but oh boy am I hooked!
VC4 is fantastic, and I'm trying to lean into the slow burn and play it for a month or more. I'm still on the early chapters, save scumming RNG on missed point-blank lancer shots, but the missions are so much more fun so far than VC1 I don't even mind.
Im going to play some Mario party, kirby star allies, and Mario Tennis aces
I’ve just traded a load of old games (a few of which I have the Switch version now) for Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Mario Tennis Aces.
Neither seemed essential day one purchases for me, but I knew I’d get them eventually.
So them, if I can pull myself away from Dead Cells and the new Williams Pinball FX3 tables.
No Disgaea love? I just picked that up and The World Ends With You but struggling to put Forza Horizon 4 down to play the Switch at the minute.
I finished the champions ballad dlc and got all 120 shrines in zelda so now Im gonna try doing the trial of the sword. Im also gonna start xenoblade2
Victor Vran
Dungeon Village
Valthirian ARC: Hero Scholl Story
Rocket League
Skyrim
My weekend will see Mega Man 11 and Pokemon GO
@sandman89 the game is fantastic for what it delivers (and promised). Just bear in mind that the controls were not great when the game lunched (but when I played it on switch were top notch)
Rolled the credits on XC2 for a second time (NG+) and have to say that if it wasn't for the random generated blades (still missing 11) this would be my favourite game of all time. Will be finishing the way remastered that I got for 280 points a while ago (quite boring, with obtuse puzzles and very bad controls) and will probably comeback for some more xenoblade (try to get all blade quests...)
Still playing Valkyria Chronicles 4.
I just played the upgrade my PC game. So some Tekken 7 and Far Cry 5. As for my Switch: FighterZ, Mark of the Ninja, and hopefully some time for Torna.
Some Shikhondo: Soul Eater, a little Overcooked and ARMS with the kids, and hopefully a little Breath of the Wild.
Android:
Microsoft Solitaire Collection - Playing Klondike
Minecraft - Created a sweet Survival Island
Windows Phone:
Angry Birds Seasons - Halloween levels
Nintendo 3DS:
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 - Been enjoying this so far.
Finishing off collecting moons in mario odyssey. Just got the breakdown moon the other night (without cappy). 40 odd more moons to go and I can see the light.
Also donkey Kong tropical freeze. Focusing on getting 100% then perhaps 200% after that. Doubt that will happen haha.
This week I will be mostly playing:
Captain Toad (Wii U)
Spla2n: Octoling expansion
Mario Party, Mario Tennis, and Kingdom New Lands!
I have a busy weekend and thus won't have a lot of time to game, but the fact that I have Monday off makes up for that. I'll be fitting in some more OoT 3D Master Quest by hopefully finishing the Water Temple (ugh), and I might continue on with Color Splash on my Wii U.
I am playing Mega Man 11.
I could be playing Battle Toads if MS and N would get their crap together. Just saying.
I'll keep playing through Mario RPG on the SNES classic. I'm utterly captivated by that game's simple charm and humor. Not to mention that the gameplay is super fun too!
If I want something a little more hardcore then I'll dip back into Octopath Traveler to finish a few more Chapter 4's or maybe defeat one of the secret superbosses. I've been playing Octopath since Day 1 and my addiction to it shows no sign of slowing down!
Fifa this weekend
Still working on Dragon Quest XI and Dragon Ball Fusions.
I’m finishing up Detective Pikachu (Yes, it’s simple and for little kids... but it has charm and I’m hoping for some appearances in Let’s Go)
Other than that continuing in Monster Hunter and trying to 100% Minit (underrated!)
Tricky Towers - I really love a good Tetris game, and this game is great for scratching that itch. My only gripe is that you can't just play online with your friends, it seems like it randomly selects your opponents online...but I'll probably play more local couch play anyway.
Risen 1 on PC. Such a great RPG game
I'm playing nothing, with a girlfriend, I have so little time left for games
On my 6th playfhrough of breath of the wild
I'm playing some Enter The Gungeon this weekend. Hopefully I can beat the Convict and Hunters pasts!
I'm playing mostly Splatoon 2 and ARMs. But also trying to Beat The original metroid prime for GC as well.
Getting close to completing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, doing my daily rounds in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and getting some ranked battles in on Splatoon 2. Been enjoying a variety of games!
This week I beat Mega Man 11 in normal mode. I wanna try beating it in superhero mode, as well. Been also playing some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Tennis Aces, and in MTA I just won my very first online tournament
DB FighterZ with some RE Revelations 2 mixed in.
I get to work most of the weekend. Joy. Can’t wait for late December when things slow down again for me.
Update: Put a fair few hours into Guacamelee today - highly recommend it if you like easy metroidvanias/challenging platformers. Cool visual style also and it’s Lucha!!
I had one of those nifty d pad joy-cons delivered today (the Zelda one) so I’ll be practicing to see if my Dragon Ball Fighterz skills can become anything other than atrocious.
Valkeryia Chronicles 4, FighterZ and Shadow Bug.
Spider-Man (PS4), Xenoblades 2 (Switch) WWE 2k18 (Switch) & LEGO DC Villians (Switch)
Finishing Hob on PS4 and Undertale on Switch. After that I'm clearing my schedule untill Christmas for RDR2.
Metroid Prime Pinball
Mark of the Ninja for sure!
@Tyranexx think I'm going to attempt the master quest next month for the games 20th anniversary. How has it been so far? Aside of shear difficulty is there anything else making it worth a go? Special in the dungeons? Bosses any different? If not, ill probabaly stick to the regular quest next month.
Gonna play some Elder Scrolls Online and The World Ends With You. I played about an hour of TWEWY on the DS back then and am pretty freaking happy it came back up on the Switch. Don't have it yet but after work today, you know what I'm about to buy.
Axiom Verge for me this Weekend. The game is epic!!
I’ve been playing Battle Chasers Nightwar now for a bit so I’m going to continue on with that. It’s much more fun than I thought it would be.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Zelda BotW, Splatoon 2 and Paladins.
I also plan on spending a few hours each day convincing myself that I have a huge backlog and shouldn’t get Starlink yet.
And then on Monday I’ll pre-purchase Starlink...
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam!
XB1 focus this weekend, a Smash Ultimate demo probably isn't that far off so allowing that to be the focus when it comes.
Finished I am Setsuna. Now I'm just trying to finish 100%ing N-sane trilogy and Shantae so I can check them off my list before Smash takes up some of my time.
Dragon Quest V on the DS
I just finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and I am starting the Torna DLC. I also got to play a bit of Super Mario Party!!
@Xaritah I wasn’t having anything to do with tiger tiger either lol. I beat the game without playing other than the initial tutorial, so let that give you some peace if you aren’t into it. Truly a brilliant game. Can’t wait until Xenoblade Chronicles 3 if that ever happens.
@Supadav03 Is Spider-man worth buying a PS4 for? I’m so tempted but know the PS4 is at the end of its cycle. Plus i’m addicted to my switch
If the PS4 hits $199 this Black Friday (like it did last year) then 100% yes. Spider-man is fantastic and there are a few other games not on Switch that are must plays on PS4. GoW, Red Dead, KH3. I JUST got my PS4 Pro (August) and Spider-man is the only game I have for it right now. Don’t regret the purchase a bit (although I did get it for $160 vis a pricing error at Target, which pushed me, along with Spider-man, to finally pull the trigger).
@Yoshinator Metroid Prime is so good!!
@Skalgrim will do then! Thanks for the tip!
@mossimac great to know! I hate tiger tiger 😅 and yeah i didn't finish xenoblade 2 yet, but i can't wait to listen about xenoblade 3 😂
Finished Torna 🙂
1. Still on DQXI (Home)
2. Finally checking the Free August/September Ninokuni2 DLC (Home)
3. Started Valky4 (on the GO)
I'm getting close to finishing Spider-Man and it's incredible so that's my top priority. I also want to finish Challenge Road in Super Mario Party. Once I finish them, A Hat in Time is next!
@mossimac Absolutely! I just bought my first PS4 this last month and Spider-Man is easily my game of the year so far. I still plan on purchasing Forza Horizon 4 and Smash Bros. Ultimate so that could change, but regardless it's amazing. Plus there are a ton of exclusives worth checking out for the system: Uncharted 4 and the collection, Ratchet and Clank, God of War, Gravity Rush 1 and 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Gran Turismo Sport, Drive Club... so many. The PS5 might be coming in the near future but the PS4 Pro still has a lot to look forward to. The Last of Us Part 2 especially. If you can afford the system and are interested in a few of those exclusives, it's absolutely worth picking up.
Finishing up legend of Zelda sp, working on WWE 2k19 & resident evil 5 lost chapter for the xbox
Trying to play some 3DS games before I go on my trip next week. Also playing Pocket Camp
Animal Crossing: City Folk
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
Tetris Plus for PS1
Diablo 2
Let it Die on PC
SWToR
and Maybe Town of Salem
I'm playing through Undertale and really enjoying it and will hopefully play some more Super Mario Party depending on if I can get some other players.
I've also got hooked on playing Yoshi, so I'll probably sneak in a few games of that.
Luigi's Mansion on 3DS, and some Super Mario Party on Switch with the kids.
Picked up the Mario vs Rabbids DLC this week too, still picking away at that.
Currently I’m playing “Math Homework.” It’s a simple title with a deceptive amount of depth and challenge. Luckily, I’ve unlocked the TI-84 Plus item, so it’s a lot easier. (I can’t say I recommend the game, but I have to finish it. 😜)
Smash 3DS, Animal Crossing New Leaf, and ARMS will be littered throughout the weekend. Everyone have a good, safe, and God-blessed one!
@Geobros I just completed a second play through of Axiom Verge! Really amazing game.
@MH4 I feel that, math can be hard. Fortunately for me I've graduated.
It's called waiting to waiting to blast off to Atlas to eradicate the Forgotten Legion!
@nintendobynature: Enemies deal double damage, Hyrule is mirrored (making Link right-handed), the dungeon layouts and puzzles are mirrored/rearranged, and there are some tougher enemies in said dungeons. I don't think the bosses are any tougher though.
It's definitely more than a higher difficulty mode like the Hero Mode in more recent games; it's more like the original LoZ's Second Quest.
I've been playing Punch-Out! Super Castlevania IV and Super Mario RPG.
@Tyranexx got it thanks man!
@wiggleronacid awesome! Thanks!
@aromain150
Kid Icarus Uprising definitely is a fantastic game. Now, I may have to go and replay that...
Let's see, since it is October I picked up Dementium Remastered for the 3ds.
I am really liking it!
Also, FINALLY am trying out Etrian Mystery Dungeon. It is brutally difficult at times but I really enjoy it.
I'm as hooked on Final Fight as I was when it came out in the arcade. So yeah. Final Fight.
Luigi’s Mansion
My nephew got a Switch during the week, he had been saving up and it was his birthday on Wednesday... when the dust had settled he had enough money and just HAD to go get one on Thursday evening! His brother has a PS4 & they are both big Fortnite fans. He's so happy he can now play WITH his brother instead of waiting for him to let him play! So I've been playing Fortnite with them and having a lot of fun to be honest. The best bit is how happy my nephew is. Have a good weekend everyone.
skyrim and maybe some tricky towers if i need a break from skyrim
Wandersong and Armello!
Both really great games!
Hyper Light Drifter, Octopath Traveler
Its Double-Doubloon weekend in Paladins which should help alot so I'm sinking a bunch of time into that. Otherwise some Fortnite challenges and some Arena of Valor.
Wandersong and Armello, both really great games!
Final Fantasy Legend 2 on the GB DMG.
Zelda, the Phantom Hourglass and continue with The Messenger
R.I.P Me - It’s been Ghosts n Gobins all weekend in prep for DarkSouls R
Picked up Overcooked (the first one) on sale a few days ago so gave that a spin with the family. It's fair to say we don't work together very well! Hilarious though, and the adults and kids liked it just as much as each other, looking forward to playing it some more.
Then on my own a bit more Doom and a bit more Enter the Gungeon. Came so close to beating the 2nd floor on that today. Can't see me ever being good enough to complete it, but actually not bothered. Atill enjoy it and more than getting my money's worth.
Oh, and a little bit of mario and solomons key nes to fill a few minutes.
Picked up a Retron 2 over the weekend along with Super Castlevania 4, Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance, Home Alone (GB), Animaniacs (GB), Disneys The Little Mermaid (GB) at a yard sale so my weekend has been full of retro goodness.
@Trajan Ah, what a classic! Ffl2 was one of my favourite games in the early nineties. I even went as far as recreating Apollo's theme tune in midi format - Im sure it still exists in some dusty corner of the internet.
So @shiryu, does nintendolife let you share a link to your music on bandcamp or wherever? Super curious
@MischiefMaker Check out one of my written articles or reviews, you can find it on my profile description.
...or just hit these instead:
Shiryu Music @ Bandcamp
Shiryu Music @ Soundcoud
Everything gets uploaded to my YT channel and 99% of my albums have free MP3 versions for those who can't afford them. Just don't try to listen to everything in one sitting and look out for tomorrows big (BIG!) release.
@Shiryu Oh yeah, never spotted that 😂 Wow, you’ve been busy, that’s hundreds of tracks! Will give a few a listen and probably buy a couple of albums, seems like my sort of jam 😄
@MischiefMaker Releasing albums for 19 years now... I know, it's crazy.
Eh, still playing Splatoon 2
Risen 2 and Disgaea 2
