Gosh, 2026 has been quite the year so far, isn’t it? Luckily, we’ve got games to keep us busy, and we’re going to go through which of the buggers we plan on playing this weekend.<\/p>\n

In case you’ve missed the main headlines this week, let’s take a peek at what’s been going on in the world of Nintendo. First up, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance<\/a> was released on the GameCube NSO app<\/a> for the Switch 2, so that’s lovely. Fans of green and purple will also be pleased to know that new Joy-Con colours<\/a> are being released in just a few short days.<\/p>\n

We got a new overview trailer<\/a> for Mario Tennis Fever<\/a>, which is looking really solid so far, while more ‘evidence’ emerged to suggest that Call of Duty<\/strong> might finally make its way to Nintendo platforms<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

And now, let’s see what Team NL is up to this weekend, hm?<\/p>\n

Gavin Lane, Editor<\/h2>\n

It’s a more-of-the-same week for me, with Cast n Chill<\/a>, Skate Story<\/a>, and Expelled<\/a> still occupying the left side of my Switch 2 home screen. The GameCube NSO app is there now, too, thanks to Path of Radiance<\/a> dropping, and I also dipped back into Shinobi<\/a> the other morning with my coffee.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, I’ll be valiantly resisting the eShop sale. Gotta love that post-holidays quarterly tax bill. Have a good one, folks.<\/p>\n

Ollie Reynolds, Staff Writer<\/h2>\n

I love Star Wars, but it’s a franchise I really have to be in the mood for. As such, I often take lengthy breaks before diving back in. The good thing about this is that there’s often a boatload of new content to enjoy when I do eventually sidle back into the fandom. With that in mind, I’m playing Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga<\/a> and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor<\/a>, both on the PS5.<\/p>\n

The Switch 2 is getting a bit of love, though. I’m currently making my way through Star Wars Outlaws<\/a>, and it really is quite remarkable. Ubisoft nailed it with this one; it’s just so darn fun with a wonderful sense of place.<\/p>\n
