My progress in Pokémon Legend: Arceus It’s completely icy and I’ve been gaming less than usual this week, so there’s definitely going to be some playtime. I’m also looking forward to seeing another look at Triangle Strategy Opening Demo; I enjoyed the first hour and the battle, even when one of my underdogs was knocked out and was the only one who hadn’t leveled up yet!
In other places I’m visiting again MLB The Show 21 to boot for the new entry. In my most recent online game, I quickly made it 3-0 in the first half before it disconnected and blamed me. However, I have seen the funny side of ‘loss’ and am still having fun with it.

I slowed down a bit on PokéLegArc, but I’m nearing the end of the story. Mostly I just enjoy playing a few hours catching Pokémon with low stakes, so I’m in no rush to end the plot, really.
But for what I’ll be playing mostly this weekend: Stardew Valley (just started a co-op game with friends, nice to be back after a few years) and EarthBoundthat I just starts on the 3DS days before it’s announced on Live February 2022! So now I’m broadcasting it on the NSO service. That CRT filter makes me feel like I’m playing it “the right way”!

It’s Super Bowl weekend, the once-a-year reason to get on fire NFL Hitz 2003 on the GameCube because I’ve never been well versed in the complete rules of Soccer (a sport where you play mostly with your hands, it’s hard to understand) so I’ll stick to the light rules of the game and the big shots of the shots. late. GTA trilogy finally saw its physical form arrive home with an early copy of Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collectionstrange.
Game of the week is… lots of weekly releases on the eShop! Grapple Dog, Action Arcade Wrestling, Arcade Archives Thunder Dragon 2, Rumble Dragon, Classic bowl, Heart of the ocean… wow, two days won’t be enough!

This weekend, I plan to make some progress with interesting things OlliOlli’s World. It’s been a few years since I last played OlliOlli 2, but stepping into this latest entry is like riding a bike – except it’s a skateboard… on the Switch… Still, I’ve gotten a pretty good score already. !
Elsewhere, I plan to start Earthbound at some point, and I might have restarted too Xenoblade Chronicles 2 after the announcement of the sequel. It’s a great game, but I really hope the third game gets a little better in handheld mode.

Hi. The next few days seem to be quite busy for me with reviews and other tidbits, but I’m 100% settled in some OlliOlli Worlds from the first chance I get for a skateboarding session. long. I managed to sit on the latest Roll7 for five hours the first time I booted it up, so it’s fair to say it caught my attention.
I have also downloaded Retro Bowl and am ready to play and will enjoy a bit Dungeon Encounters at some point too! So many great indie games are releasing on Switch right now, it’s really quite hard to keep up with them all. Not the worst problem to have, right? Wish you happy weekend!
As always, thanks for reading! Leave us a comment below with your weekend gaming plans!
