Discussion point: what are you playing this weekend? (April 6)

Well … We are at the end of a week yet. This week has brought us all kinds of nonsense from April Fools, including an excellent (but fake) presentation of Nintendo Direct, and even potential – and delicious – leaks from Best Buy, but it's time to move on and off. talk about our weekend projects. Team members have done just that below, and we would like to see you participate through our comment and survey sections below. Enjoy!

News that Civilization VI now supports cross-backups between Switch and PC m reminded me that I wanted to go back to this game for months, so I'd like to find a few hours on the weekends to sit with a Civ that I have not tried it yet.

I have visitors this weekend, so I'm expecting us to leave Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and maybe some Too much cooked 2. Alternatively, I could try Catastronautes on the unsuspecting crowd – it's essentially an over-cooked "clone" that channels the same frenetic action and management while mixing a good dose of Star Trek. That's good, a solid pleasure that suits me.

This weekend, I am doing something extraordinary unusual for me: I leave my house and I see other human beings to "have fun". As such, my current path of The craft world of Yoshi will be temporarily put on hold and I will probably end up playing several rounds of what is arguably the Switch's best match for rallies: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

That said, the friends I see also like to have the strange role. Party Golf, a little original game full of all kinds of crazy shenanigans. Hopefully we'll have fun too.

This weekend, I'm really going to mix everything up with comic cases with the classic collection that is the Phoenix Wright: Trilogy of the best lawyers. When I do not scream "Objection!", I will try to survive and bloom aboard a spaceship in the depths of There: the Alliance. I loved FTL and it looks like it's going to scratch this itch of intergalactic management. Finally, I'm going to do my point-and-click with the Kickstarted world of The mystery of Woolley Mountain. Watch all three, in the form of a report, next week on the site.

April is an important month for the Switch and this first week has been a success. My weekend will mainly consist of eShop masterpieces such as Feather, Hob: The definitive edition, Overwhelm, Pressure overdrive, AngerForce: Reloaded and the brilliant part, the hardcore part run'n'gun insanity of Mechanical destruction force! For cartridge-based entertainment, I'll go with the ridiculously addictive Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission (SSJ4 had Broly during my first attempt at Gacha, everyone lost their mind!) And the Air Conflicts Collection double dose for generous amounts of air combat.

My game of the week is really special Ringo Ishikawa's Friends, a lovely 16-bit return to my rebel youth of Japanese offenders. Do not worry, I cleaned everything up and wrote for Nintendo Life.

This weekend I intend to spend the majority of my time trying escape from prison in Furi. I'm ashamed to say it, but it was a game I had neglected in one way or another when it first came out on the eShop Switch at the beginning of last year. I was immediately sold when I saw the game update trailer the other day. It's easy to understand why the developer says he was inspired by people like More heroes, Metal Gear Solid and God's hand based on combat, aesthetics and soundtrack of the game.

If I have the opportunity, I would also like to coach in Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission. I have been craving a Dragon Ball card game for a while now, so it's a great opportunity to finally get my fix.
