We’re finally at the end of what has been a pretty eventful week – you know, with that little video presentation thingy<\/a> from Nintendo and all that – so it’s time to settle down and recover with some games-based chat. As ever, members of the Nintendo Life team have gathered to share their weekend plans and we’d love for you to get involved, too. Make your voices heard in the poll and comment section down below. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

This weekend, like any weekend, was going to be completely dedicated to hoovering up those last few Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> spirits – I have around 1,100 of the things and getting these last ones are proving to be more time-consuming than ever before. Those plans might have just been thrown out of the window, though, thanks to that silly, ridiculous, brilliant Tetris game.<\/p>\n

Yep, like most who have played it, Tetris 99<\/a><\/strong> seems to have me pretty hooked. Winning is incredibly tough, but the ability to just jump straight into another game makes you want to go for ‘just one more’. I’ve already started seeing Tetriminos in my sleep.

This weekend, I have high hopes of maybe starting Final Fantasy IX<\/a><\/strong> on the Switch – but let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s been a long week, and I\u2019ll probably just end up playing Tetris 99<\/strong> the whole time. I\u2019m also pretty disappointed with the lack of Animal Crossing<\/a><\/strong> news during the Direct, and I have this itch to go re-purchase a Wii U (I traded mine in when the Switch came out) to replay City Folk<\/a><\/strong>. If I squint my eyes, I may be able to trick myself into thinking it looks like an Animal Crossing game on the Switch… desperate times call for desperate measures.<\/p>\n
