Another busy week has been and gone, this time bringing a cheeky asset flip game<\/a> on Switch, more Animal Crossing item duplication glitches<\/a>, and the big Paper Mario Switch reveal<\/a>, but now it’s time to wind down with some weekend gaming.<\/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

For the past few months, the only game I’ve really been playing on my Nintendo Switch is Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a><\/strong>. Nothing has really changed in that time – I’m still in debt, and I’m still in need of more Bells. As a result, I’ll be spending most of my weekend picking and selling fruit to pay off at least something, so I can then take out another loan from the bank of Nook and do it all again next week.<\/p>\n

When I’m not busy paying off loans, I might finally test out the last major update for Super Mario Maker 2<\/a><\/strong>. There’s also a limited-time Animal Crossing event taking place in Tetris 99<\/a><\/strong> this weekend, so I need to unlock that theme. That’s all for me!<\/p>\n

My time with Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/strong> is still winding down more and more, but I’ll no doubt pop in each day for half an hour or so just to keep on top of the daily activities and check Nook’s Cranny for any particular juicy goods.<\/p>\n

The majority of my free time this week, however, has been spent playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga<\/strong><\/a> on the good old Game Boy Advance. It’s been sitting on my shelf since childhood, and booting it up revealed that ten-year-old me only managed to put about an hour in before moving on to something else. I’ve been enjoying my time with it – especially the humour – and will keep going over the weekend. Between this and the Paper Mario reveal this week, I’m in a very<\/em> Mario mood.<\/p>\n
