Girls and gents, the weekend.
For a barely quieter one, this week was packed stuffed with highlights right here on Nintendo Life. The August Pokémon Presents occurred and it’ll undoubtedly go down as one of many showcases of all time — however we did get a launch date for the Scarlet and Violet DLC and two new NSO video games, which is nice. Quake II lastly got here to Change after rumours a-plenty and we even received the shock announcement that Crimson Lifeless Redemption could be coming to Nintendo’s little console — who would’a thunk it?
Elsewhere we penned a love letter to certainly one of Tears of the Kingdom’s late-game areas, celebrated Lifeless Cells’ five-year anniversary and had just a little giggle on the newly-released Pokémon Middle Wiglett plush.
As for critiques, we took to the gridiron in Legend Bowl, which we discovered to point out potential but it surely’s in want of some TLC and we additionally went for some monster-catching fight with Adore which is numerous enjoyable however let down by its Change efficiency.
Now we’re prepared to relax out with a little bit of gaming. Have a learn by means of what a few of our great workforce are as much as after which tell us your plans within the feedback.

So I will be persevering with my playthrough of Luigi’s Mansion 3 this weekend. I am making good progress on it, however I am taking my time. I like it a lot – it is comfortably one of the best within the sequence, and it does actually make me query why Nintendo would hassle bringing the second entry to Change when a superior possibility is true there, prepared and ready.
Over on the PS5, I am nonetheless enjoying Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2, shopping for myself some fairly hats, consuming tins of beans, the same old. For a PS4 sport, it truly is an virtually overwhelmingly engrossing expertise; one which not even some PS5 video games can match at this stage. Good on you, Rockstar.

Predictable as ever, I’ve lastly come again to Tears of the Kingdom. I beat the principle story within the first few weeks so now, after some much-needed time away from the sport, I’m lastly getting round to the opposite 99% of the duties that I’m but to finish. That being stated, I’ve hardly crossed something off my record to this point. I am simply having one of the best time strolling round, visiting any Sky Islands that I used to be but to discover, and lighting up extra areas of the Depths as I dive right down to seek for armour.
God, I will be enjoying this sport endlessly, aren’t I?

I’ve lastly began my long-awaited playthrough of Zero Escape: Advantage’s Final Reward. The issue is, enjoying this within the evenings signifies that I usually go to mattress with a few thousand ideas in my head. That is going to be one other wild journey, I can inform.
In any other case, I’m enjoying Cassette Beasts on and off and actually having fun with it to this point, and as if I would like extra on my plate, the Free Login Marketing campaign for Last Fantasy XIV is again so I’ve returned to Eorzea briefly. The grind by no means ends…
Take pleasure in your weekends, people!

Will you take a look at that? It’s the weekend as soon as once more! You understand what seems like a great way to spend my time away from work? Gaming – I do know, shocker. Usually the weekend is reserved for these sofa potato moments, controller in hand, snacks and drinks on the prepared. Not this time, no. This weekend I’ll be (metaphorically) binning the snacks and pounding a few of these sweat-inducing exercises Ring Match Journey has to supply. That’s proper! I’m going to get completely shredded in simply two days. You’ll see, mother and pop! I’ll be as thicc as a rehydrated Ganondorf

Nonetheless having ridiculous quantities of enjoyable with GigaBash, it simply by no means will get previous when you’re a Energy Stone/Kaiju fan. There may be additionally an incredible motive why the shock Arcade Archives Mad Shark launch performs quite a bit like a long-lost Raiden sequel: It was developed by ex-Seibu Kaihatsu workers and it exhibits, it is a scorcher! Some extra PSP motion this week with the bounce to Ace Fight: Joint Assault (which has nothing to do with pure herbs) and the extraordinarily underrated gem Gladiator Begins. This factor wants a remake/reboot/re-release on Change.
Obligatory sport of the week is Quake II! Whereas Quakeworld was all the fashion again within the day, I and most of my mates solely had dial-up modems by the point of its recognition peak. However when Quake II hit retail all of us had cable and 3D accelerators on our pentium PCs so this was an enormous a part of my youth enjoying it on-line evening after evening. To see this new model with an enormous new marketing campaign plus the Quake II 64 marketing campaign throw-in at this insanely low worth is just irresistible. Sorry Splatoon 3, you’re out, Q2 is again in child! Move the Railgun, please.
