We’ve finally made it through another long week, this time full of lots of Super Smash Bros. news<\/a>, the controversial Pok\u00e9mon Presents show<\/a>, and reports that Nintendo is planning on cutting back on its mobile game development<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

With all of that out of the way, 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

I\u2019ve had Velocity 2X<\/a><\/strong> on my Switch SD card for ages now, but never got around to actually playing it. In his review<\/a>, Mitch used the classic line \u201call killer, no filler\u201d, and that\u2019s something I look for with absolutely every game I play these days. Can\u2019t be doing with bloat.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got plenty of other gems I could be getting on with too, although Star Wars Episode I: Racer<\/a><\/strong> is mighty fine and I\u2019m eyeing it on the eShop. As I write, the N64 cart is sitting ready-to-go in the console\u2019s slot, but the convenience of having it on Switch\u2014not to mention that HD sheen on my modern telly\u2014will probably prove too much to resist. Another one for the backlog. It is podracing, after all.<\/p>\n

I’ve got just a small handful of things left to do in Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/a><\/strong>‘s Isle of Armor DLC, so I’ll be attempting to get that all wrapped up this weekend. I’m just a handful of Pok\u00e9mon away from completing the Pok\u00e9dex – although I need to get my hands on a couple of version exclusives – and I’ve finally tracked down every last Diglett. Hoorah!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, my copy of The Last of Us Part II<\/strong> just showed up and I’ve been looking forward to playing it for ages now. Having said that, I keep hearing that it’s a particularly tough, depressing experience at times, so I’ll have to see if I’m emotionally ready to jump in! Have a good one, folks.<\/p>\n
