A cosa stai giocando questo fine settimana?? (29giugno)



Per adesso, let’s see what team Nintendo Life is getting up to this weekend, lo facciamo..?

Jim Norman, Scrittore del personale

I’m hoping to sink a little more time into Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD this weekend. It’s certainly my least favourite of the trilogy, but with such a high level of quality, that’s no bad thing. I know that the mission structure doesn’t work for everybody, but I enjoy popping into the mansions for 10 minutes at a time, carrying out my silly little tasks and then getting out of there. It’s bite-sized, but it’s sweet.

Elsewhere, I am so close to the end of my first ever The Last of Us Parte II playthrough and I have somehow made it this far spoiler-free. I’ll definitely be polishing that one off this weekend and then probably feel bright, happy and not at all emotionally distraught on Monday morning. That’s how the end of this one goes, giusto?

ma probabilmente dipende dal fatto che anche il mio partner ha giocato sul mio account prima di avere il suo 3DS, Scrittore del personale

I’m still on a bit of a Metroid kick at the moment, but since I can’t quite bring myself to renew my NSO subscription at the moment, I’m sticking to my 3DS. I’m currently jumping between Metroid: Missione Zero, Metroid: Fusione, e A volte uno sviluppatore richiede alcuni tentativi per eseguire correttamente la propria visione di un gioco. Naturalmente, each is an all-time great.

Su PS5, I’m still working my way through the System Shock remake, and I think it might be my favourite game of the year..? It’s such a unique experience, ma allo stesso tempo, you can see how it eventually influenced the likes of Bioshock e Preda. Wonderful stuff.

I’m playing a game for review again! How exciting. This one has actually blown me away so far, so I’m excited to write about it.

But other than that, I’m waiting for my partner to finish playing the new remake of Riven so I can play it with him watching! I just played and finished Myst (per la prima volta) and now I feel like one of my gamer sins has been erased. Now I can finally call myself a real puzzle-adventure-game lover. I guess I should finish Il testimone prossimo… sospiro.

Trilogia di Metroid Prime, e soprattutto

Mentre EA Sport FC 24 e Attaccante Virtuoso 4 ver. 2002 remain on the menu, è Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare that takes the top spot for non-Switch related action this week. This turned out to be Space Above and Beyond (ask your grandparents) il videogioco, becoming my favourite single-player campaign in the whole franchise while at it. Switch is however where the main course this weekend is with NeoSprint, Palazzo di Luigi 2 HD, Storie di cacciatori di mostri and the stunner Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble all ensuring June comes to an end with a bang.

Game of the week is DarkStar One. Space flight/fight/trading games are few and far apart, so when this old gem came about on the eShop I kept it on my radar. Turns out that it is a huge and enjoyable take on the iconic Elite and revered Freelancer with some nice QoL updates and, unlike the original release, in lovely 16:9. Unsure I will ever find the time to complete it, but for the time being I will happily keep jumping from star system to star system to see what happens next.


That’s what we have planned for the weekend, ma che mi dici di te? Fill in the following poll with the game that you will be maining over the next few days and then slide into the comments to let us know what other titles are on the cards.
