Is it great to be there, readers? He was certainly in the UK this week. But the video game news was also pretty hot! Hollow Knight: Silksong is alive with a brand new trailer! There are details about the rumors about a new game of Fire Emblem, which appears online. Fans of Final Fantasy VII are celebrating the news that the prequel Crisis Core with Zack Fair is being remastered and coming to Switch. And no DLC is planned for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. More.

In other news, Neon White is an absolute belt that you should not miss. We have listed all the best games for cats that you can get on your reliable Switch. And we interviewed the developers of the game Zelda: Minish Cap-meets-Stardew Valley Moonstone Island.

Now it’s time to relax and discuss our plans for the weekend games. Several members of the Nintendo Life team did just that below, so feel free to read our posts and then join your own through our comment section. Enjoy!

Hello! I’m in the mood for a little retro goodness this weekend, so I’ll probably launch the NES and SNES apps for Nintendo Switch Online and jump into some of the classic Mario and Zelda games. There really isn’t anything like Super Mario World, is there?

Elsewhere, I’ll try Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge on Game Pass. The Xbox service is my favorite when I want to try out a certain game before I inevitably throw in some money for the Switch version! He worked for Streets of Rage 4, why not this one?

It’s all about the Ninja Turtles: Schroeder’s Revenge. I’m totally excited to play through this with my partner, but here’s the problem – we both have the same favorite turtle, Donatello! I think I may have to play like April or Leonardo here to keep the peace.

I also hope to start Neon White and Omori this weekend. I didn’t plan on taking Neon White right away, but then the reviews came up and I buckled up. The soundtrack of Machine Girl is also amazing (go listen to volume 1 and volume 2!). Omori, I’ve been waiting for the console version for a while. I’ve heard so many fantastic things and the mix of horror, mental health and RPG subversions is my sweetheart.

My wallet suffers after a weekend break and three brand new games. Can you tell And this is just the beginning of the summer games. fu Have a nice weekend everyone!

With all the recent announcements of Final Fantasy VII, I decided that I would finally bite off the bullet and release the original. I’m not the biggest hiking enthusiast, but since the Switch version is portable and also has x3 speed, I’m really enjoying it so far. In fact, I’ve never played the original before, so I’m very excited to play it!

I will also hone my hunting skills to prepare for the release of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak by playing the delicious new demonstration. Have fun hunting!

What a wonderful weekend ahead! Great physical arrivals include such wonders as Zombie Army 4: Dead War, Metal Max Xeno: Reborn, Bloodrayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites and the wonderful remix of Wonder Boy Returns. Alicia became stronger than any tank in this last section of the Valkyria Chronicles. The action of the belt is more than provided by Final Vendetta together with …

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is not only my game of the week, but it may just be Game of the Year 2022. A long childhood dream has come true thanks to the perfect combination of talent and love for the source material from Tribute Games. Alone or with friends, this is a must Video Game History 101. Cowabunga!

DOG OF THE DRAGON II !!! THEY DO THE DOGMA OF THE DRAGON II. However, I’m not going to replay Dragon’s Dogma, as I just finished it recently after playing it slowly over the last few years.

I’m still in such an awkward mood “I don’t want to start anything new”, so all the games in my backlog will stay for a while and I’ll play Hollow Knight instead, try to finish Return of the Obra Dinn and maybe I’ll see can i get to the end of AI: The Somnium Files before the new one comes out!

As always, thanks for reading! Don’t forget to leave us a comment below with your plans for the weekend games!
