What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 14th) – Talking Point

Another week of that Nintendo life has passed, and there were certainly some highlights. There were all sorts of gems in the Indie World showcase, a blabbing comedian may have given up a Mario movie character, while on the rumour front we have the likes of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Remastered supposedly on the way. Oh, and there’s a Pokémon Presents on the way. Phew!

After a busy week it’s time to chill out and discuss our weekend gaming plans. A few members 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!

Following an interview I conducted earlier this week (which music fans will definitely want to keep an eye out for soon!), I got an irresistible urge to go back to Hades. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it back at launch, but shamefully I never actually escaped. With the game finally launching on other consoles, now seems like the perfect time to get back in the blood with Zagreus and co.

And beyond that, I’ve finally resorted to using an app to locate and tick off the remaining 100-ish Korok’s hiding around Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I still wish Nintendo had released a Korok ‘suit’ that would help me zero in on the seeds better than using the mask alone, but it’s tough to complain too much at this stage. Not sure if you’ve heard, but that game is per-ritty good. Definitely worth picking up on sale.
