I am hoping to spend my time mostly diving into the world of Splatoon 3. I have been working away on our guides for the game over the past few days, so it will be nice to take a couple of hours to play the game for my own pleasure &#8211; it really is something!<\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, I am really keeping to take the much smaller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/haiku_the_robot\">Haiku the Robot<\/a> out for a spin. Its release date was somewhat overshadowed by the splatty drop on the same day, but this dystopian robot roguelike is beautiful to look at and promises some really fun times.<\/p>\n<p>We are in for <em>quite<\/em> the weekend of gaming!<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"Z3qjATCE2dk\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<h2>Alana Hagues, staff writer<br \/><\/h2>\n<p>For some reason, I\u2019ve been playing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/loop_hero\">Loop Hero<\/a> on and off again. It\u2019s a brilliant roguelike, auto battler, deck builder hybrid and, some evenings, it\u2019s all I\u2019ve felt like sinking my teeth into. There\u2019s something very mesmerising about watching my little Rogue hero walk around and around these randomised dystopian loops!<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, this weekend, I wish I could go back and tell my kid self that Disney and <strong>Animal Crossing<\/strong> would one day combine to create Disney Dreamlight Valley. I want to check this one out on Game Pass while I can, and while I\u2019m not sure it\u2019ll suck me in as much as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/animal_crossing_new_horizons\">New Horizons<\/a> did a few years back, I can\u2019t deny that I just want to see <a class=\"external\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/disneydreamlightvalley.com\/news\/introducing-early-access\" href=\"https:\/\/disneydreamlightvalley.com\/news\/introducing-early-access\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Choco Crocodile<\/a> in the flesh.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"1RZJZ7RYbls\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<h2>Ollie Reynolds, staff writer<br \/><\/h2>\n<p>No Splatoon 3 for me I\u2019m afraid folks!

The more I play this game, the more I\u2019m convinced that it\u2019s one of my all-time favourites; the writing and sense of place is simply unparalleled! So yes, that will no doubt take up much of my time.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, I\u2019m quite eager to play through the entirety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/walking_dead_the_complete_first_season\">Telltale\u2019s The Walking Dead<\/a>. I\u2019ve only ever played through the first two seasons, and although my general understanding is that the quality seemingly drops off as you go further along, I recently bought the \u2018Definitive Series\u2019 on PS5 so I can play through it from start to finish.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em><em><em>As ever, thank you for reading!
