Hello one and all, and welcome to yet another weekend. This week has seen more info on the future of the Super Smash Bros. series<\/a>, Animal Crossing in-game purchase shenanigans<\/a>, and the surprise launch of a new Switch FPS game<\/a>, but now it’s finally time for us to take a breath and relax.<\/em><\/p>\n

Members of Team Nintendo Life have shared our plans down below, and we’d love for you to get involved via our poll and comment sections. Enjoy!

With March just around the corner, I already have my pre-orders in for both Pok\u00e9mon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX<\/strong><\/a> and Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/strong><\/a>. It’s about to be an absolute cuteness overload on the Switch front, so I’m actually spending these next couple of weeks getting prepared by playing something that’s the complete opposite.<\/p>\n

I’ve been revisiting The Last of Us Remastered<\/strong><\/a> on PS4 over the last few days – sacrilege on this site, I know – in preparation for the sequel coming out in a few months’ time. I’m hoping that after all the blood, zombies, swearing, and shooty-shooty bang-bangs, I’ll be even more appreciative of the colour and charm from the two titles mentioned above. Is it weird that I love all three of these entirely different series?

I’ve not yet seen the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie<\/a>, but just witnessing the sheer hype around it has got me booting up the wonderful Sonic Mania<\/strong><\/a> again. I still find it staggering just how darn good this game is! I’ve also picked up the Sega Ages release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/a><\/strong>, so hopefully I’ll get around to giving that a go, too.<\/p>\n

I’m also still spending some time with Animal Crossing: New Leaf<\/a><\/strong>, but after the recent Nintendo Direct<\/a>, it feels oddly lacking… Why can’t I alter the terrain?!<\/p>\n
