Good grief, is it really the weekend again? Bonkers.<\/p>\n

It’s also September, which means that 2024 will be here in the blink of an eye. Before we all wallow in existential despair, however, let’s take a look back at what went on this week in the world of the Switch.<\/p>\n

The biggest event this week was undoubtedly the Super Mario Bros. Wonder<\/a> Direct showcase. We learned a great deal about the upcoming 2D platformer, including what new power-ups<\/a> are in store for us, why Miyamoto wasn’t keen on the elephant design<\/a>, and what ‘online play’ looks like<\/a> for the new title.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Sabotage Studio’s Sea of Stars<\/a> managed to sell an incredible 100K+ copies on its first day of sale<\/a>, while we pondered the very real prospect of Mario and Sonic going head-to-head<\/a> later this year. We also learned that Konami’s Suikoden I & II HD Remaster got delayed in 2024<\/a>, and Nintendo announced that Nintendo Live will be heading to Tokyo in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For now, let’s see what Team Nintendo Life is up to this weekend, shall we?<\/p>\n

I’m afraid there’s not a great deal I’m playing at the moment, dear friends. I finished Alan Wake Remastered<\/a>, and so I’m in a bit of limbo at the moment while I wait for Starfield<\/a> to drop on GamePass (there’s no way I’m paying for the privilege of early access). I might dive into a bit of Aria of Sorrow<\/a> via the Castlevania Advance Collection<\/a>; it’s the equivalent of comfort food for me, so it’ll tide me over for the time being.<\/p>\n
