In celebration of Pok\u00e9mon Day, this week we got quite a lot of pocket monster news. One of the highlights was the reveal<\/a> of the new mythical Grass\/Dark-type Pok\u00e9mon Zarude. Greninja was announced<\/a> as Google’s Pok\u00e9mon of the Year, and Mewtwo is also appearing<\/a> in Sword and Shield Max Raid Battles for the first time ever, but you can’t catch it!<\/p>\n

Far away from the land of Pok\u00e9mon, Yacht Club Games lifted the lid on its new Shovel Knight project<\/a> and PlatinumGames announced a new studio<\/a> and a new game<\/a> by Hideki Kamiya. There was a sale on all<\/em> of the DOOM titles<\/a> as well, and we’re changing the way we handle<\/a> Switch screenshots on the site.<\/p>\n

To help us unwind after such a big week, we’re here to share the games we’ll be playing over the weekend. We’re also joined by two special guests from the Push Square team. As always, we’d love for you to get involved via our poll and comments section. Happy gaming!<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to be a bit busy this weekend with my band Constance (look us up if you\u2019re into metal) as we\u2019re recording some new tunes, but I just picked up the original DOOM<\/a><\/strong> and DOOM II<\/a><\/strong> on the eShop for next to nothing! So while the guys are recording their parts, I might try to sneak in a bit of demon hunting, because what\u2019s more metal than that? Rune Factory 4 Special<\/a><\/strong> is also sitting here on my desk literally staring me down, but I don\u2019t know if I have the heart to invest in it knowing that my love Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a><\/strong> will be here in just a few short weeks.<\/p>\n

This weekend, I will be finishing Luigi\u2019s Mansion 3<\/a><\/strong>. I\u2019ve been very busy recently, and I\u2019ve only gotten through a handful of floors in the main storyline, so I\u2019m determined to just sit down and blaze through the rest. Last weekend, I had family home and sunk quite a bit of time with them into the couch co-op \u2013 which was awesome \u2013 but which ended up only making me want to go back to the main storyline even more. Oh yeah, Luigi!<\/em><\/p>\n
