If you celebrate it, Happy Easter! If not, we hope you at least have a nice, long weekend, or perhaps you’re just going to relax more than normal. Whatever you’re doing, we hope video games factor into your plans. This week, we got a new Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes<\/a> trailer, which introduces us<\/a> to protagonist Shez. Nintendo has had to change automatic online renewals<\/a> following a government review. And it sounds like Bandai Namco is working on a remaster<\/a> of a Nintendo action title.<\/em><\/p>\n

While we’re here, why not go and vote for what you think is the best Nintendo console generation<\/a>! Some of us have had our say, and now it’s your turn to tell us who’s right or wrong.<\/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!<\/em><\/p>\n

The list of games I’d like to play this weekend is long<\/em>. As I mentioned earlier in the week<\/a>, I’ve got Dragon Quest VIII<\/a> ready and waiting to be tucked into. I also took delivery of Xenoblade Chronicles X<\/a> \u2014 I want to download the improved texture pack off of the Wii U eShop before it’s gone! I’ve got other housekeeping to do on Wii U, too. I’m going to transfer my external hard drive to a much bigger SSD I’ve got, although that involves getting everything already on it safely stored elsewhere before the Wii U formats it, which will take a while. Also, I have no house internet at the moment, which complicates matters when I want to download a whole bunch of GBs.<\/p>\n

What I’ll likely end up doing is downloading the tiny Nintendo Switch Online update and diving into Mario Golf<\/a>. It’s one of my favourite N64 games, an incredibly relaxing sports game with personality. It’s a shame I won’t be able to play as my GBC Mario Golf<\/a> character, but I’ll enjoy a quick round of 9 holes sometime over the weekend. Have a good one, folks!<\/p>\n

Aside from a mini review, on Switch I’ll probably put the most time into Triangle Strategy<\/a>; it’s a long game! I’ve been enjoying it a lot so far, and it’s perfect for little 30-minute sessions for taking on a battle or just following the story.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere<\/em> my attention is split between LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga<\/a> and MLB The Show 22<\/a>, the latter of which has definitely got me hooked again.<\/p>\n
