Phew! It’s been a heck of a week, hasn’t it? It actually feels like springtime now at least, but our eyes are poised towards the summer with the slate of new release dates we’ve been handed. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has been brought forward from September to July! Unprecedented stuff. Splatoon 3 also finally has a release date \u2014 a very neat 9th September. Oh, and Sonic Origins is also locked in for 23rd June, but not without some controversy over those pre-orders. And, even though it’s been rumoured for ages, we’ve got more concrete proof that Game Boy and GBA games will be coming to Nintendo Switch Online at some point, probably.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now it’s time to chill out and<\/em> discuss our weekend gaming plans.<\/em> A few m<\/em>embers of the Nintendo Life team have done just that below, so feel free to give our entries a read and then join in with your own via our comment section. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m wrapping up a review for Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles over the weekend, but my early thoughts are that it’s a lovely and clever puzzle game. When not working on finishing that I’ll continue my journey through Triangle Strategy, which is great for downtime and getting the old chess brain working a little.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere<\/em> I just started Shadow of the Tomb Raider, wrapping up a steady run through the prequel trilogy. It’s really good so far, just enjoyable Indiana Jones-style popcorn gaming. It also has more focus on puzzles and tombs than combat, which is fine by me!<\/p>\n

Hey folks! This weekend, the family and I are having a wee break in Wales. Does that mean there won’t be any gaming? Hahaha, of course not; I’ll be taking my Switch with me. I’ve recently been playing The Sinking City on the PS5 and I’ve been enjoying it so much, I decided to start it on Switch too! The tone and narrative are right up my street, so I’m looking forward to sinking (ha) my teeth into it.<\/p>\n
