Yet another week has been and gone, this time bringing with it all sorts of confusion surrounding the possibility of stick drift on the new Switch Lite<\/a> and a bizarre case of an eShop game being removed against the developer’s wishes<\/a>, but we’ve finally reached the weekend. And it’s time to get in some game time!<\/em><\/p>\n

As is tradition, we’ve done just that below, and we’d love for you to get involved via our poll and comment sections. Enjoy!

I finally got around to starting Zelda: Link’s Awakening<\/strong><\/a> a couple of days ago and I’m really enjoying things so far. I was a little put off after hearing several people talking about performance issues<\/a> – I was wondering whether it might be wise to hold off in hopes of a patch further down the line – but I’m glad I just got stuck in. I haven’t stumbled across any issues that have had any impact on my enjoyment so far, so I’m keen to keep going.<\/p>\n

This is actually the first time I’ve experienced Link’s Awakening – I was only born in the same year the original<\/a> released, so I hope you can forgive me! Now, as a busy working adult, I’m really happy with the relatively short dungeons and chunk-by-chunk gameplay it offers. Fitting a Zelda game into a busy schedule is tough, but not when it’s like this.<\/p>\n

My plans will shock some: this weekend, I shall be returning from my weeks-long road trip off the grid and finally, FINALLY, opening up Zelda: Link\u2019s Awakening<\/strong> and Ni no Kuni<\/strong><\/a>. Those poor games (and my sweet, adorable Link amiibo<\/a>) have been sitting in their packages at my house, awaiting my return, since release day. It\u2019s been a solid lesson in patience – but today, I break my gaming fast (literally; I\u2019ll probably be playing them while I eat breakfast, because I cannot wait any longer).<\/p>\n
