We’ve finally made it to the end of yet another busy week, this time full of exciting Pok\u00e9mon reveals<\/a>, a surprising commitment to Switch from EA<\/a>, and even an Animal Crossing island made by KFC<\/a> of all things.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

This weekend my main focus will be on powering through the Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/a><\/strong> Isle of Armor<\/em> expansion. I didn’t exactly pre-plan or pack for my new island adventure, so I’ve gone into it with my existing party and so far it’s been more of a holiday than I expected. I’ve already been gifted a certain pocket monster and acquired a legendary one, and now I’m off to do more training and catch even more Pok\u00e9mon. At some point this weekend I also plan to do some trades with my fellow trainer and NL staffer, Ryan Craddock, and evolve a few ‘mon along the way.<\/p>\n

Apart from this, I’m looking forward to speeding around paradise in Burnout Paradise Remastered<\/a><\/strong> on the Nintendo Switch. And all of a sudden I’ve found myself eager to return to the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy<\/a><\/strong>. You probably know why<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week I\u2019ll be trying (and probably failing) to put The Messenger<\/a><\/strong> and Firewatch<\/a><\/strong> to bed. I\u2019d love to get stuck into one of the umpteen unplayed games sitting on my micro SD\u2014there\u2019s far too many to list\u2014but if I could polish those two off, I\u2019d be a happy happy.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, I\u2019ll be doing my dailies in Animal Crossing<\/a><\/strong> and I should probably try out that free jumping game<\/a> Nintendo put out earlier this week. Despite having access to Ring Fit Adventure<\/a><\/strong>, the lockdown pounds have been collecting quite nicely, so I should really get the ol’ blood pumping by jumping about a bit.<\/p>\n
