Another week of 2021 happens as something zippy in Zippy mode (a zip, for example), and we can only look back at the events of the last seven days as events fell into the fast-flowing river of time. Highly cherished memories, like that time when some Nintendo fan turned their N64 into a Switch or when Pokémon Dialga and Palkia Nintendo Switch Lite special edition was announced, remember? What about the time when Brendan Fraser was playing his Switch before meeting a fan about Zoom? All those moments lost in time, like tears in the rain …
After a busy week, it’s time to relax and discuss our weekend game plans. A few mNintendo Life team embers have done so below, so feel free to read our posts and then join your own via our comments section. Enjoy it!

This weekend I’m free of reviews for the first time in a while, so I’ll be back to my long-term project: The House In Fata Morgana. Also, Minecraft. I’m making a cottagecore village; the last incorporation is a cartographer’s house which is rather a kind of Hobbit Hole thing. I’m very proud of it, it’s a shame it’s not real and I can’t live there.

First of all, the WarioWare demo is very good and everyone should play it. I need to save some energy for the main game, but it has put me in a Wario mood. I haven’t played Wario Land 4 in GBA in over a decade and I’m curious to know if it’s as good as I can remember. The GBA lacked a traditional Mario platformer to name it its own, so Wario not only helped fill the void, but gave us a little variety.
Following the old handheld devices, I will also be releasing the DS, one of our projects next week in terms of video is based a bit on Another Code (Trace the memory and NA). Both Another Code and its Wii sequel Another Code R are incredibly underrated games, hopefully they can get a little more recognition over time.

I have a pretty quiet weekend ahead of me, so I intend to continue with Virgin Axiom 2. Whether I do it or not, it’s up to date, but I’ll give it a good chance. I’m also looking forward to a good horror title, so I could boot Little Nightmares or even Resident Evil for the billionth time.
I’m also tempted to download No More Heroes before the new entry, but I remember trying it in 2007 and didn’t like it as much. Hey, maybe it will be different this time!

This weekend I have some weird plans. I recently went back to … Super Mario Odyssey? I had won the game many moons before (thinking of puns), but I still have a lot to pick up on, so I started playing it last night out of boredom and remembered it was INCREINGBLE. I will definitely continue in the coming days.
I’ll probably also perform the WarioWare demo to death, because it’s an incredible damn thing. Lastly, I keep plugging in Paper Mario: The Origami King, because it’s fantastic and I’m only halfway there (I think I’m dragging it unconsciously so it never ends). And here it is: this weekend I will be completely immersed in the Mario universe. Wahoo!

Hello. This weekend I will be reviewing a few different pieces to review, including the return of the father of modern FPS shooters, Quake. It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten my hands on and gone down the aisles of the ID Software classic, so I hope they don’t hit me too badly once I’ve cleaned up the campaign chapters and gotten a frantic multiplayer. action.
Elsewhere, if I have time, I will be immersed in some other Virgin Axiom 2. I absolutely loved the first game, for me one of the best Switch Metroidvanias, and so far this sequel is getting to live up to my intoxicating expectations . I really have no idea how Thomas Happ does it. Have a great weekend, do whatever you want or play!
As always, thanks for reading! Be sure to leave us a comment below with your game options over the next few days …
