It’s been another busy old week in the world of Nintendo, with more Joy-Con drift legal woes<\/a>, the world’s first Animal Crossing: New Horizons review<\/a> and a potential slip up regarding a Nintendo Direct<\/a> all coming in just a handful of days.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thankfully, we can all now sit back and relax to discuss our weekend gaming plans. Members of Team Nintendo Life have done just that below and we’d love for you to join us via the poll and comment sections. Enjoy!

I noticed earlier this week that Super Mario Maker 2<\/strong><\/a> has been updated with new Ninji Speedruns, so I\u2019d like to give those a whirl if I get time this weekend. I\u2019ve still got several unfinished levels waiting for me, but making great levels takes time and it\u2019s much easier to dive into the speedruns.<\/p>\n

And after diving into a whole bunch\u2019a beat \u2018em ups on Switch<\/a> earlier this week, I fancy blasting through something on the Capcom Beat \u2018Em Up Bundle<\/a><\/strong>, too. A little Battle Circuit<\/strong>, maybe. Ring Fit Adventure<\/a><\/strong> is also sitting untouched in the cupboard under the telly. I should probably crack that out \u2013 there\u2019ll be fighting in the streets to get hold of that game come quarantine lockdown, and mine\u2019s just sitting there.<\/p>\n

Have a good one, people! Stay safe, be mindful of others and only push lift buttons with your elbows.<\/p>\n

I’ve got quite a busy weekend ahead of me so I doubt I’ll get too much game time, but I will be trying to slip in the odd hour or two of Pok\u00e9mon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX<\/strong><\/a>. I’ve been playing it in relatively short bursts over the last few days and finding it to be a decent way to pass the time without having to invest too much attention. I’m sure the difficulty will ramp up soon enough, though.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, like many of you, I imagine, I’m simply playing the waiting game for New Horizons<\/a><\/strong> to arrive. I’m struggling to think about much else really, so much so I even ended up writing a song about it<\/a> (oh dear!):<\/p>\n
