I ended up playing a little bit super mario world last weekend, and I went back to that and off. It’s one of my favorite Mario games – thanks in part to Yoshi, come on – and pick it up again today, it’s timeless. I adore it for a bit of Mario magic.
I used to juggle too Let’s build a zoo in my free time, again. And bayonet 3 still going on in the background. I’m considering picking up Sonic Frontiers, even if those review scores are all over the place, I haven’t had much time to play the game lately, so things are going slow! All that will change next weekend

Again, there are so many games that I hope to play this weekend but have very little time to actually play them – tskpeople need to stop with all this socialization crap.
There is an eShop sale on owl boy this week brought it down to a price I couldn’t refuse and wowee I am enjoying this game! Anything that plays as remotely as a GBA title and I generally enjoy – this is no exception. It seems pretty short so I’ll have to try to enjoy this one.
Besides, it’s Splatfest weekend so you know I’ll be on Team Water-Type whenever I can. Maybe I’ll even get lucky and set foot in a Mystical Tricolor Field War this time – somehow, I doubt it. I’ll probably play on the Wii U a bit more if I find the time, but with so much quality Switch content like this to grab my attention, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for me to ignore.

This weekend I to be I’m going to have a birthday party, but I’m sick and apparently all my friends are too. So I’ll curl up on the sofa like a proper asshole, and try to get through danganronpa (not literally, murder is bad), or play dishonesta game of my forever backlog.
If I don’t enjoy complicated mechanics or reading books, I’ll play instead Vampire Survivor, a game about seeing how many things can happen on the screen at once. It’s the video game equivalent of delicious popcorn, and it even sound like popcorn. Everyone reading it should play it.

So this weekend, I thought I’d dive into Atari 50: Celebration. I’m not old enough to play Atari games for the first time (although I’ve played a few titles over the years), but I’m really interested in delving into the history of video games. This looks like a great curated collection and I can’t wait to join.
If not, I might jump in Evil 0 to mark its 20th anniversary. It doesn’t rank super high in my RE ratings, but it’s still a good survival thriller. Having fun!

Somehow stumbled upon the end of NieR: Automata earlier this week but the ending didn’t give me enough endings to keep looking for another 24 endings. Bayonetta 3 is on its way home and with each new level I run out of reasons to remove this from my GOTY 2022 list. Elevated by Kung Fu movies from legendary Shaw Brothers products, Sifu: Vengeance Edition is something I’ve been looking forward to for a while, and thank you it’s quite another solid Switch port. Have a great week on the eShop with From space, Rogue Legacy 2 and Lunistice They all require my attention. I just need to stay away from that sweet Pixel Cup Soccer: Ultimate Edition demo…
Game of the week is Super Woden GP. I love overhead racing games from the Commodore Amiga era and this is by far the best I’ve ever played. This will keep me busy while I eagerly await the sequel.
As always, thanks for reading! Be sure to leave us a comment below with your weekend gaming plans!
