With yet another week down, this time bringing with it a newly-found Animal Crossing glitch<\/a>, a super gorgeous Super Mario 64 PC port<\/a>, and all sorts of interesting stats from Nintendo’s fiscal year earnings report<\/a>, it’s finally time to sit back and enjoy the weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n

Members of Team Nintendo Life have gathered together to discuss our weekend plans, and we’d love for you to join in via our poll and comment sections below. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a lovely long bank holiday weekend in the rather infected United Kingdom, and in absence of being able to do anything outside of these four walls, some friends and I will be mashing out some games on Realm Royale<\/a><\/strong>. Bit of an odd choice, granted, but one of my friends is a tight git and there aren\u2019t many other (vaguely) Halo-like experiences on Switch right now.<\/p>\n

After all the shooting and drinking and the weekend begins proper, I\u2019ll be having a right ruddy good time with Lonely Mountains: Downhill<\/a><\/strong>, so I\u2019ll no doubt bash a bit of that out as well, not to mention some patented Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> for good measure.<\/p>\n

Aside from that, phwoar, I\u2019m really not sure. I\u2019ve been working on creating a classically-styled world in Super Mario Maker 2<\/a><\/strong> which I\u2019m keen to crack on with, but at the same time Animal Crossing<\/a><\/strong> is so just bloody there<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I finally paid off the last-but-one loan in Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a><\/strong>, meaning I can finally start to properly organise the rooms in my house. I have fairly big plans for the bigger rooms, but seeing the prices of some of the items I want to put in them is rather terrifying. It doesn’t help that I’m not playing the game quite as much as I was at launch, either, as I’m starting to save a little less money in-game with each passing week.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned last week, I’ve also been spending a little more time trying to beat Resident Evil 4<\/a><\/strong> on Wii. Every time I feel like I must be near the end, another huge chunk of the map opens up. It really does<\/em> feel like I’m nearing the end this time, though, so hopefully I’ll soon be able to check this one off my embarrassingly long list of shame.<\/p>\n
