It&#8217;s getting a bit chilly outside now, so this weekend I&#8217;ll be cosying up with a couple of games from my backlog. Chiefly, I&#8217;m restarting <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/luigis_mansion_3\">Luigi&#8217;s Mansion 3<\/a><\/strong> from scratch (look, I&#8217;m just not ready for it to be Christmas yet; my brain still thinks it&#8217;s Halloween) and I genuinely can&#8217;t wait to get back into it.<\/p>\n<p>With the news of an incoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/11\/square_enix_announces_neo_the_world_ends_with_you_a_sequel_to_the_ds_original\">sequel to The World Ends With You<\/a>, I&#8217;ve also decided to give <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/world_ends_with_you_final_remix\">the Switch version<\/a> another shot. I can definitely see why it&#8217;s so beloved, but it never quite sunk its hooks into me; we&#8217;ll see how it goes this time!<\/p>\n<h2>Gavin Lane, features editor<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m looking to chill the beans right down after giving Calamity Ganon\u2019s evil hordes a thrashing over the past couple of weeks. In fact, I may well return to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild\">Breath of the Wild<\/a><\/strong> for an altogether more sedate trip to Hyrule. I fired it up recently for work and was surprised at just how great BOTW still looks in this age of 4Ks and umpteen teraflops. Beautiful game.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, I should really get back to my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/animal_crossing_new_horizons\">Animal Crossing<\/a><\/strong> island and I\u2019d love to carry on with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/control_ultimate_edition_-_cloud_version\">Control<\/a><\/strong>. Whatever happens, my absolute priority this week is to avoid the Cyber Deals sale at all costs. I\u2019m a sucker for a deal, but it\u2019s not much of a deal if you never get around to playing the game, is it?<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\"><\/aside>\n<h2>Gon\u00e7alo Lopes, contributing writer<\/h2>\n<p>What a strange Wiiware coincidence. I was planning to take a trip back to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiware\/bit_trip_runner\">BIT.TRIP<\/a><\/strong> series but might hold off until their re-release on Switch this very Christmas. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiware\/final_fantasy_crystal_chronicles_my_life_as_a_king\">Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiware\/final_fantasy_crystal_chronicles_my_life_as_a_darklord\">Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Dark Lord<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiware\/jett_rocket\">Jett Rocket<\/a><\/strong> will suffice. On the Switch front progress continues in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/hyrule_warriors_age_of_calamity\">Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/hardcore_mecha\">Hardcore Mecha<\/a><\/strong>, the charming puzzler platformer <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/qv\">QV<\/a><\/strong> and the extremely \u201cz<em>entitude<\/em>\u201d of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/alto_collection\">The Alto Collection<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>My game of the week \u2013 no, of all time \u2013 is (despite these old reflexes showing the damage of age) <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gamecube\/f_zero_gx\">F-ZERO GX<\/a>.<\/strong> I knew I shouldn&#8217;t have put the disc in the Wii tray because now every other current-gen game looks slow and bland in comparison.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\"><\/aside>\n<p><em>As always, thanks for reading!
