I work weekends so I don't get to play very much. That being said I'll squeeze in either MH Rise or New Pokemon Snap with what time I do have.
On my actual weekend on Wednesday and Thursday I'll focus on those same games and also watch the rest of season 4 of Castlevania now that my Clone Wars binge watch is finished.
Splatoon 3 was definitely the biggest announcement and I'm beyond excited for that one.
Beyond that I'll get Skyward Sword HD, Ninja Gaiden, No More Heroes 3, Fall Guys, and the season pass for Age of Calamity for sure, and heavily considering MH Rise, Plants vs Zombies, Ghosts N Goblins, and the Famicom Detective Club games.
There's also some other upcoming games that weren't in the Direct that I'm definitely grabbing like Crash 4 and New Pokemon Snap.
Already preloaded Shantae, though I might hold off on playing it as I'm in the middle of a playthrough of Pirate's Curse and I don't want genre burnout.
Heavily considering Xenoblade but I don't know if I have the time for a massive game like that right now.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag for me this weekend whenever I have the chance. Not sure if I plan to do all the side stuff or just focus on the main story though.
@HappyMaskedGuy Except you haven't necessarily been right either.
Nowhere has it been confirmed that there's microtransactions in the game.
"In Game Purchases" in the ESRB rating just means you can access the eShop. Both Fire Emblem Three Houses and Pokemon Sword/Shield have that in their ratings yet have no microtransactions.
I'll be finishing up Luigi's Mansion 3 this weekend. Loving every second of this game. Definitely one of my favorite Switch games.
I won't have enough time to start something else (or finish Astral Chain lol) before Byleth releases on Tuesday so I'll probably just jump right back into Smash haha.
@thesilverbrick I mean, Phil was saying similar things about Banjo when there was already a deal in place. There very well might be something in the works, but impossible to say until the characters are revealed.
Tetris 99 for the theme, followed by more Smash Bros to continue to mess around with Terry. He's a lot of fun. Tomorrow I'll go back to Astral Chain. That game is top priority in my backlog.
@ShadJV A new mode is implausible because unless they were straight up lying, Home Run Contest was the last new mode they're adding. They said so during Banjo's showcase.
I'll be playing Outlast this weekend. Picked that up when it was on sale earlier in the year but held off on playing it so that I could play it during October.
Outlast isn't a long game so I'll finally return to Astral Chain once I finish it.

Re: Feature: Nintendo's Most Iconic E3 Moments
The Robot Chicken sketches for E3 2014 are definitely up there for me.
Re: Capcom's E3 Showcase To Feature Monster Hunter, Ace Attorney And More
I really don't expect Outrage to be revealed at E3. Too soon after Village's release regardless of the Switch exclusivity.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think The "Switch Pro" Will Actually Be Called?
I want it to be called Super Nintendo Switch.
It'll probably be New Nintendo Switch though

Re: New Nintendo Infographic Shows Off The 30+ Games Announced During This Week's Direct

Re: EA Has Quietly Reduced Burnout Paradise Remastered's Price On Switch
Companies permanently dropping the price on games without advertising that they're doing so seems to be a trend with the Switch.
Wish the eShop itself would advertise when that happens like the 3DS and Wii U eShops did.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 28th)
Been playing Hades. Very addicting game. The spear is my favorite weapon so far haha.
Also finally grabbed Age of Calamity so I'll start that this weekend while waiting on my Oculus Quest 2 to arrive!
Re: Nintendo Goes Big With Cyber Deals Sale, Up To 50% Off Top Switch Games (North America)
Shantae and the Seven Sirens is also on sale for those that haven't picked it up yet!
Re: Bandai Namco Hosting Super Switch eShop Sale, Games For Under $15 (North America)
Might have to grab Mr Driller at that price!
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For November And December 2020
Probably just Age of Calamity as far as new releases go. Maybe Immortals.
Still need to grab both No More Heroes games and Ori and the Will of the Wisps too.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter To Be Revealed Tomorrow, 1st October
My guess is either Crash, Impa with her Age of Calamity design, or the Monster Hunter with a design and moveset based off Monster Hunter Rise.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th September (North America)
Fight Crab for sure. Seems like a fun distraction while waiting for 3D All Stars!
Re: Poll: No, Really, What Was Nintendo's Worst Year?
2016 easily. Pretty sure the only game I picked up at all was Pokemon Sun.
2015 had Splatoon, and that alone makes it a decent year haha.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase Airs Later Today
Apparently it's only 10 minutes long too.
So nothing too exciting, mostly just confirmation on when certain games are coming, like Doom Eternal.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 13th)
Noticed my coworker got Clubhouse Games so I bought it specifically to play it with her. So I'll be trying that out this weekend.
Otherwise I'll continue playing Xenoblade and some Mario Kart with said coworker.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 6th)
Xenoblade of course! Gonna be playing it for quite some time!!!
Beyond that I'll be playing some Mario Kart with my coworker. She kicked my butt last time, so I'm hoping to do better this time around.
Re: Video: 12 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In June
Xenoblade and Shantae will keep me pretty busy plus I'm getting a tattoo this month so I'm not really gonna spend much on games.
I'm thinking just SpongeBob this month. Oh, and the Smash DLC of course, but that's paid for already haha.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th June (North America)
Nothing for me since I just bought Xenoblade and Shantae last week and those will last me for quite a while lol
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th May (North America)
Already preloaded Shantae, though I might hold off on playing it as I'm in the middle of a playthrough of Pirate's Curse and I don't want genre burnout.
Heavily considering Xenoblade but I don't know if I have the time for a massive game like that right now.
Re: Bandai Namco Kicks Off Another Huge Nintendo Switch Sale, Up To 80% Off (North America)
I feel like you can always count on either Ubisoft or Bandai Namco's catalog being on sale on any given week at this point.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Switch Games, And It's A Pretty Small List
@Northwind Square Enix publishes the games themselves in Japan.
Re: Production Of The Pokémon Anime Has Been Put On Hold, Reruns To Be Shown In Japan
I think this is the first time the anime has been put on hold since the infamous seizure episode aired.
Re: Talking Point: We Should Brace For A Huge Games Industry Knock-On Effect Following The CERO Shutdown
My backlog will last me for quite a while anyways so I'm okay with this. Animal Crossing is getting most of my attention though haha.
Re: Shantae And The Seven Sirens Sets Course For Switch This May, New Details Revealed
Day 1! That's gonna be an expensive couple days though between this, Xenoblade, Bioshock, and TLOUP2
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 21st)
Animal Crossing, Doom Eternal, and Doom 64 for me!
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th March (North America)
Doom 64 and Animal Crossing for me. Also highly tempted to grab the PS4 version of Doom Eternal and then double dip on the Switch version later lol
Re: Ubisoft Hosts Major Switch eShop Sale, Up To 75% Off Top Games (North America)
The list in the article is missing South Park The Fractured but Whole, which I'm pretty sure is included in the sale.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 14th)
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag for me this weekend whenever I have the chance. Not sure if I plan to do all the side stuff or just focus on the main story though.
Re: Feature: The Most Relaxing Switch Games - Chill Games For Nintendo Switch
Excuse me, but everyone knows Doom 2016 is the most chill game on the Switch
Re: All DOOM Games Heavily Reduced On Switch, Some Now As Low As £1.20
Well for those prices that's an instant purchase. Already had the original and 2016 so I'll be more than happy to add II and 3 to my collection
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 22nd)
I'll be finishing off Luigi's Mansion 3 this weekend. Beyond that I'll be playing Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.
Re: Animal Crossing Direct Announced for 20th February

Nowhere has it been confirmed that there's microtransactions in the game.

Re: PlatinumGames Wants To Bring The Complete Bayonetta Series To Other Platforms
I highly doubt Nintendo would go for it unlike W101.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 25th)
I'll be finishing up Luigi's Mansion 3 this weekend. Loving every second of this game. Definitely one of my favorite Switch games.
I won't have enough time to start something else (or finish Astral Chain lol) before Byleth releases on Tuesday so I'll probably just jump right back into Smash haha.
Re: DOOM Director Says The Team Has "Bantered" With Nintendo Asking For Doomguy In Smash Bros.
@thesilverbrick I mean, Phil was saying similar things about Banjo when there was already a deal in place. There very well might be something in the works, but impossible to say until the characters are revealed.
Re: Nintendo Reminds Us Of 20 Exciting Games Coming To Switch In 2020 With New Infographic
Mystery Dungeon, Xenoblade, Lego Star Wars, SpongeBob, Doom Eternal, and Panzer Dragoon for me!
Looking forward to the second fighters pass too!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 4th)
I'll be playing Luigi's Mansion 3! Really enjoying the game. Looks great on the Switch's screen
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Pick Up On Black Friday And Cyber Monday?
I grabbed Ori and the Blind Forest, Star Wars Jedi Outcast, and Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 30th)
Astral Chain. I'm not gonna play anything else until I finish that one haha. The goal is to have it finished by Christmas.
Re: Four New Resident Evil Spirits Are Coming To Smash Bros. Ultimate Later This Week
@Bizzyb The opposite. If we were getting a RE character as fighter #5 they'd have released these spirits alongside the fighter.
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Top 30 Switch eShop Games Of October 2019 (North America)
That Bandai Namco sale really pushed sales of their titles, DB FighterZ especially.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 9th)
Tetris 99 for the theme, followed by more Smash Bros to continue to mess around with Terry. He's a lot of fun. Tomorrow I'll go back to Astral Chain. That game is top priority in my backlog.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Hosting Smash Bros. Ultimate Terry Bogard Livestream On 6th November
@ShadJV A new mode is implausible because unless they were straight up lying, Home Run Contest was the last new mode they're adding. They said so during Banjo's showcase.
Re: Rumour: The Starter Evolutions For Pokémon Sword And Shield Might Have Been Leaked
Is that purple Pokemon electric/poison? That type combo is way overdue so I sure hope so!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 19th)
Back into Astral Chain. I had stopped because of Zelda's release haha.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 12th)
I'll be playing Outlast this weekend. Picked that up when it was on sale earlier in the year but held off on playing it so that I could play it during October.
Outlast isn't a long game so I'll finally return to Astral Chain once I finish it.
Re: Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Publisher Has More Announcements On The Way
Gimme KOTOR and Battlefront II Classic please. The latter is one of my favorite games ever. Having that on Switch would be a dream come true.
Re: DOOM Eternal Has Been Delayed, And The Switch Version Is The Most Heavily Affected
Bummer. This was easily my most anticipated game this year.
If it makes the game better and it allows them to avoid crunch, then I'm all for the delay.
Re: Random: Nintendo's Latest Firmware Update For Switch Removed A Neat Effect
Wouldn't surprise me if that's a bug they overlooked.
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For October And November 2019
Luigi's Mansion 3 and Doom Eternal for sure!
