Another week has flown by with strange new trademarks<\/a>, Mario sneakers<\/a> and a revelation of the most painfully generic vidya game title<\/a> Ubisoft’s marketing team could produce (and there was something else about Mario<\/a>, we think?), but now it’s time to take a breather and chat about our weekend gaming plans.<\/em><\/p>\n

Members of 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

After beginning A Short Hike<\/a><\/strong> last weekend, I will be continuing said Short Hike this weekend (and no doubt finishing the Hike, too). There’s not much to say that hasn’t been said – it’s a sheer delight.<\/p>\n

Beyond enjoying the new autumnal hue of my Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a><\/strong> island, that’ll be it for my Switch gaming. I recently splurged on a retro console I’ve wanted for a long time now: an Atari 2600. Actually, it’s a pre-2600-branded VCS, and it’s older than I am. It’s one of the first consoles I remember playing at my grandparents’ house and I’m intrigued to see how it holds up. For the sake of convenience, I went with an immaculate A\/V modded model that outputs over composite, so it’ll work on my modern telly.<\/p>\n

Yes, composite isn’t exactly bleeding edge where picture quality is concerned, but it’ll be quite enough<\/em> for this console. Looking forward to that new hardware smell. Ooo, musty,<\/em><\/p>\n
