Is everyone feeling a bit more chilled out after not-E3? Okay, we’re still waiting for a Nintendo Direct, but we did get a Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/a>-focused presentation, where a new Expansion Pass was unveiled<\/a>.<\/em> The AM2R devs have reunited on a brand new stunning-looking Metroidvania project<\/a>. And Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition<\/a> finally dropped on consoles earlier this week<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s also been a busy week for Sonic, who’s celebrated his 31st birthday on Thursday! We sat down with Takashi Iizuka, the head of Sonic Team, to discuss Sonic Origins<\/a>. We’ve also showered praise on AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative in our review<\/a>. And, if you want to know where the best Good Bois are on Switch, then our Best Dogs list<\/a> has you covered.

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

Help. I can’t stop playing Neon White<\/a>. This game is so addictive; sometimes, even though I’ve got onto the leaderboard and got the Ace medal, I’ll keep plugging away at the level because I’ve seen another possible shortcut. The highest I’ve placed is around 150, so I’m not that<\/em> good, but it’s so satisfying to claw up the ranks.<\/p>\n

Also on the docket is Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country<\/a>. Is it time for me to confess that I’ve never played Torna until now? I’m absolutely in love with Lora and Addam. But I’m up to my usual Xenoblade tricks of running around, fighting enemies that are too strong, doing every sidequest, and getting lost while exploring. Ahh, it’s good to be back.<\/p>\n
