Discussion point: what are you playing this weekend? (April 20th)

Well, what other busy week we had. Joker has finally arrived Smash Bros. Ultimate, Capcom has announced a new plug-and-play arcade stick, and Reggie has made the headlines with his retirement, but it's time to sit back, relax and talk about the games we're going to play this week -end. As always, members of the Nintendo Life team have come together to discuss our projects below and we would love you to join our survey and comment sections. Enjoy!

I am rather determined to make the most of this long weekend but, as I write these lines, I do not know exactly how I am going to do it. There will probably be some The craft world of Yoshi inside (my partner and I are slowly working towards the completion of it), but I have also developed a sudden desire to pick up any older game possible to get started an adequate collection.

My young man stupidly decided to sell a lot of old games and I get more and more annoyed by the day. As such, I might end up trying to find the best ways to recover a lot of games or even a console or two that I miss for future purchases. but I hope that someday I will be able to heal myself! My N64 library, in particular, could use a good boost …

Last Friday, I was out of the apartment when my VR Lab Kit arrived, but the concierge of the building took delivery. Phew! Unfortunately, I arrived home late at night and I told him that the package would remain locked in his office until Monday morning. To add insult to injury, I could see the fucking box sitting by the window!

That means I'll build my cardboard blaster this weekend. I will also tinker with my original, recently purchased Game Boy, in honor of his birthday on Sunday. There is a line of dead pixels, but that will not prevent me from enjoying some classics. This could also be done with a cleaning and a backlight … I feel a project that starts! Have a fantastic long weekend at all.

I decided to jump Copper until the physical release hits so this weekend will be filled again with all sorts of Super Robot Wars T madness. I will participate in Splatoon 2Spring Festival and Super Smash Bros. UltimateThe Castlevania themed spiritual event gives Joker a chance to succeed. I will surely spend a lot of time playing Super Nintendo and Game Boy for "nostalgic research".

My game of the week goes to the artistic carnage of Katana ZERO. In Australia, when a game is denied certification, you know you're ready for a good time!

My plans this holiday weekend will finally involve choking me My time at Portia, finishing the buildouts for the rest of the VR Lab Kit (I only covered about half), and a little further in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (I had never played this game before – but I got it very quickly thanks to the typographical error of the catalog of Target and I finally gave up). Happy to have so many new games to explore!

As always, thank you for reading! Make sure to leave a vote in the poll above and a comment below with your choice of games over the next few days …
