Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th July)

Image: KonamiIt’s been a pretty quiet few days in the world of Nintendo, but as we’re all gearing up for a another weekend of gaming, let’s take a peek at some of the highlights of the week.

First up, there’s a new Nintendo Lego set incoming! Hooray! This one looks spectacular and is essentially a replica of the Mario & Yoshi sprite from Super Mario World. It’s gorgeous, but like all Lego, it’s got a hefty price tag. Speaking of Lego, Eiji Aonuma also commented on the upcoming Lego Deku Tree from The Legend of Zelda.

Elsewhere, there are new Splatoon 3 amiibo on the way, so that’s pretty cool if you’re still into the little plastic figurines, while Genius Sonority released The New Denpa Men for free on the Switch eShop (albeit with some dodgy translation issues to boot).

Finally, we asked the age-old question: Are you ready to move on from the Switch yet?

While you have a ponder, take a look at what we’re going to be playing over the next few days…

The announcement tease earlier this week from the Blasphemous devs pushed me onto the eShop where I saw that the sequel, which I’ve been meaning to play for ages, is 50% off at the moment. There are plenty of other things on my list, but that might just jump to the top.

The only thing that might prevent it is my lack of home internet right now and a need to reserve mobile data for work — in which case I’ll be doing what I’ve done every weekend morning throughout July: a single blast through SEGA AGES Out Run followed by a Virtua Racing chaser.
