What a busy, busy week it’s been in the Nintendo world. E3<\/a> has now come to an end, and a good 90% of the Nintendo Life team is feeling ready to retire to our beds for<\/em> long, well-deserved naps. Before that, though, it’s time once again to share with you our weekend gaming plans.<\/em> As always, we invite you to join in via our poll and comment sections below. Enjoy!

I tend to get overly excited when it comes to new game announcements, so naturally when the sequel to Breath of the Wild<\/a><\/strong> was announced during Nintendo’s E3 Direct, I went right back to the original and started my quest all over again. And you know what\u2026 It’s just as good second time through.<\/p>\n

I’ve also taken advantage of the recent eShop sales and downloaded South Park: The Stick of Truth<\/a><\/strong>. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed at a game so much in my life – there’s just something inherently amusing about flatulence that I don’t think anyone grows out of!

Following the announcement on Tuesday of Banjo (and Kazooie) as Challenger #3, I went to the eShop before bed, picked up a pair of Game Vouchers and immediately redeemed one for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong>. I\u2019ve tried to get into Smash several times before, but as I said in my Soapbox on the topic<\/a>, it would take a Banjo-like announcement to push me over the edge. Obviously that came and launched me off the cliff into Smash. I\u2019m hoping the promise of playing as Banjo on a modern Nintendo platform will keep me motivated. I\u2019ll be picking the brains of resident Smash guru Alex Olney, for sure. I hear spamming Fox\u2019s laser is frowned upon? Alex won\u2019t be calling me \u2018lovely\u2019 after I\u2019ve pestered him for tips eight hours straight over Slack\u2026<\/p>\n

Following my review, I\u2019d also like to go back and complete Cadence of Hyrule: The Longest Title of a Video Game In The World, Ever<\/a><\/strong> again using Link. Zelda was my main (see, I\u2019ve already got the lingo Alex!) when I reviewed it and I only spent half an hour or so with the Hero of Hyrule. Cracking little game, that.<\/p>\n
