After a new Nintendo Switch update<\/a> (remember to update those Joy-Con, too!<\/a>), rumours of a Resident Evil 4 remake<\/a> and the last few days of the huge Nintendo spring sale<\/a> to think about, it’s been yet another busy week.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thankfully, it’s now time to relax and chat about our weekend gaming plans. Members of Team Nintendo Life have done just that below, and we’d love for you to join in via our poll and comment sections. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

Once again, any free time I have this weekend will no doubt be taken up by Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a><\/strong>. I’m about 60 hours in at this point and still feel like I have so much left to do to my island – I’ve finally started tinkering with paths, fences, and the occasional outdoor ornament, but my house is a mess and I’ve only really scratched the surface of what I’d like to do outdoors.<\/p>\n

I’ve also decided that my favourite villager is Cranston. He was one of my earlier residents and I love him to bits. Just thought I’d share that with you.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/strong> live gig stage is growing out of proportions but I still require further light variations and I still have no floor lights. I might have to do some kick-off live streaming sessions from my brand new basement instead… before I turn that room into an arcade. SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays<\/a><\/strong> and Saints Row IV: Re-Elected<\/a><\/strong> both continue to tick all the right boxes for some much welcome video game escapism.<\/p>\n

My game of the week is Super Pixel Racers<\/a><\/strong>. New to the Switch despite its original 2018 original release date, it does exactly what the name suggests\u2026 and rather well I might add.<\/p>\n
