It’s the weekend! After a long week of unhappy Super Smash Bros. players<\/a> and excitement surrounding an uppity, overly-English Pok\u00e9mon bird<\/a>, we’ve finally reached the point where we can sit down and have a good old gaming session or two.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some of the hardworking Nintendo Life team have shared their thoughts below, and we’d love for you to get involved via our poll and comment sections as always. Enjoy!

Originally, I planned to sit down and revisit Koholint Island this weekend like most of the Switch-owning world, but after briefly firing Zelda:<\/strong><\/a> Link’s Awakening<\/a><\/strong> up last night after it unlocked (I literally wandered around Mabe Village in awe and saved after 2 minutes), I\u2019m trying<\/em> to talk myself out of it. You see, the minor framerate issues in the starting area gave me the excuse that perhaps<\/em> I should wait for an inevitable performance patch. Breath of the Wild<\/a><\/strong> got various patches and there\u2019s no reason to assume this won\u2019t, either. The slight judder was only a minor distraction and apparently it\u2019s not a consistent issue once you\u2019ve started the adventure proper\u2026 but I\u2019ve got a Mount Tamaranch\u2019s worth of other things to play and it\u2019s hardly like I\u2019m in a race to avoid spoilers with this one.<\/p>\n

IF I can resist, I might save Link\u2019s Awakening and play Untitled Goose Game<\/a><\/strong>, Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/a><\/strong> or Astral Chain<\/a><\/strong> instead. That\u2019s a big if, though.<\/p>\n

Rejoice, for I am back, as it was foretold on the day Link awakes. This incredible, luxurious Summer of Switch came to its astonishing conclusion yesterday with The Legend of Zelda: Link\u2019s Awakening<\/strong> and Untitled Goose Game<\/strong>, who join up with Astral Chain<\/strong> and Daemon X Machina<\/a><\/strong> to pretty much ensure zero social life for this current weekend (…and foreseeable future!)<\/p>\n

My game of the week is none other than my left analogue-drifting Pro Controller! Make your gamer life extra-hardcore by introducing random left swerves on straights for both Horizon Chase Turbo<\/a><\/strong> and GRID Autosport<\/a><\/strong>; be baffled when your goalkeeper randomly starts running towards your own net with the ball in FIFA 19<\/a><\/strong>; watch in disbelief as Captain Falcon simply walks off stage on his last stock in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong>. Random lefts: The hardcore gamer experience of your lifetime!<\/p>\n
