It’s been another intriguing week in the world of Nintendo, as we take a breath and prepare to relax over the weekend. We had a surprise update that great enhanced online play in Super Mario Party, Monster Hunter Rise updated to version 2.0, Animal Crossing missed the memo with a disappointing update, New Pokemon Snap arrived and much more besides.

Now, though, it’s time to discuss our weekend gaming plans. 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!

Starting off on non-Switch, I’ll be playing MLB The Show 21 a lot again, but that’ll be the case most weeks so I’ll probably stop mentioning it! I may also double-dip on a new console for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order because it’s got a big discount and will have a free upgrade in the Summer. Yes, it’s a trap (and they got me).

Back on Switch, I’ll definitely be pushing on in Monster Hunter Rise as I’m keen to get stuck into the version 2.0 content; I’m not far off triggering it. I’ll also be playing Before I Forget, which is a very different sort of game that tackles the topic of dementia; the developers spoke to us recently and I’m keen to experience it for myself. Any time beyond that will probably go into either Huntdown or XCOM 2 Collection, depending on what appeals to me at the time.
