We’ve needed a calm week here at Nintendo Life, and it sure seemed that way until the release of Wave 1 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass<\/a>. If you’re not a Mario Kart Tour<\/a> fan, then this DLC is for you<\/a>! Plus you can check out what we think of wave 1<\/a>. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax<\/a> also got a Switch port, and in our review<\/a> we say that more Persona on Switch is a good thing!<\/em><\/p>\n

On to the news, we<\/em> got a surprise in the form of three new Sega Genesis games<\/a> for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass. The final trailer for the Sonic The Hedgehog 2<\/strong> movie dropped, and the poster is a cheeky nod to the original game’s box art<\/a>. We also found out the Mario Strikers<\/strong> series could’ve been a platforming one<\/a>, and we now know that Monster Hunter Rise<\/a>:<\/strong> Sunbreak<\/strong> is out on 30th June<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Now it’s time to chill out and<\/em> discuss our weekend gaming plans.<\/em> A few m<\/em>embers of the Nintendo Life team have done just that below, so feel free to give our entries a read and then join in with your own via our comment section. Enjoy!

It’s time to boot up Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a> for the first time this year! And, to be honest, the first time in a long while. I’m worried I’m a little bit rusty – especially since I’ve challenged my partner to a few games. Last time we played anything competitively against each other, he beat me pretty soundly. He’ll be glad to see me admitting this. He’ll be less glad reading this after I’ve annihilated him in the new Booster Course Pass tracks, though.<\/p>\n

I also think I’m going to give the Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/a> demo a whirl. Confession: I’ve never beaten a Kirby game that isn’t Kirby’s Dream Course<\/a>. I love the little guy, I’ve just never made a conscious effort to get to the end of one. Perhaps it’s time to change that this year.<\/p>\n

What would you all suggest be my first Kirby game other than Forgotten Land?<\/p>\n
