What are you going to play this weekend? (August 7) - Talking Point
[ad_1]
They spend another seven days in the world of Nintendo. Last week, the Streets of Rage series turned 30, Nintendo updated investors with its latest quarterly financial results, and both New Pokémon Snap Y Mario Golf: Super Rush received updates with new content. Boom!
After a busy week, it’s time to relax and discuss our weekend game plans. Some mThe Embers of the Nintendo Life team have done exactly that below, so feel free to read our posts and then join yours via our comment section. Enjoy!

I will return to my long journey in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The Mario Golf: Super Rush update actually reminded me of the joys of Super Mario Odyssey, so maybe a new career also begins through Mario’s adventure.
Beyond that, if I find time on an upcoming day off, I’ll work the next case on The Great Ace Attorney, try to play a bit of co-op play on The Ascent, and inevitably work my way through the new content on MLB the show because my name is Thomas Whitehead and I’m addicted to baseball.

This weekend almost definitely be playing Minecraft with my friends. We are doing the rather tedious work of helping clear a large tract of land and then replacing it all with dirt. Also, I haven’t finished my ice palace yet, so that’s another task.

It took AGES to be this patient! Yes, my Astro City Mini saga is coming to an end and I’m trying to figure out the logistics of taking the unit on vacation with me (certainly not PC Engine Mini, my companion from last summer).
In fact, it’s that time of year where I quietly disconnect and spend several weeks playing retro in a distant land with little to no WiFi. I couldn’t ask for a better week to ship with so many amazing eShop deals released: Button City, Haven Park, Dodgeball Academia, Doomsday Vault, Dreamscaper, Demons of Asteborg, IFO (how did I miss this on 3DS?). Add The Falconeer: Warrior Edition to the physical side of things plus some late arrivals from the Far East and I’m a happy camper.
The game of the week is one of the old favorites: Streets of Rage 4. Now I can hit 200+ hit combos on a regular basis, thus achieving my ultimate goal: to dominate and dominate Shiva completely. Shiryu is now offline, we’ll meet again when “Metroid OLED”It reaches the stores.

Well folks, after seeing the wonderful progress being made at Joymasher Moon riderI’ve been back to playing through your Contra-inspired Blazing Chrome gem. Look real talk guys, if you haven’t played this one yet, give it a little pat on the wrist and download it! It is a banger.
In other places, I’m still circling in Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox, which continues to amaze me. I have plans to visit Canada’s Moraine Lake this weekend and may make a stop in beautiful Kyoto. Enjoy everyone!

After reading Tom’s verdict on the new Mario Golf update: Super Rush, I’m suddenly looking forward to playing the best (3D) game in the series, Mario Golf for N64, so I might figure it out for a round or two.
Otherwise I’ll go retro this weekend with my latest acquisition – New Ghostbusters II for Game Boy. I already have the excellent version of NES developed by HAL, and the GB port is very similar. Yes, the last trailer by Ghostbusters: Another Life may have played a role in this impulse purchase!
As always, thanks for reading! Be sure to leave us a comment below with your gaming options for the next few days …
