This is Nintendo Life's weekly "Talking Point" feature, in which the site's writers share what games they plan to play over the weekend and briefly recap the week's gaming news. It matters mainly to regular readers as a light-hearted community touchpoint rather than hard news, though it does round up notable releases and announcements from the preceding days.

The week's highlights included a Sony State of Play, which brought a release date for Final Fantasy VII Revelation, a free demo for Final Fantasy Resonance, and a new look at Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World, alongside review scores for titles such as Onimusha: Way of the Sword (9/10), Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 (9/10) and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition (5/10). Individual writers named their weekend picks, including the indie platformer Mr. Sleepy Man, a 3DS-heavy trip lineup featuring Ocarina of Time 3D and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and a return to Pikmin 3 Deluxe following a recent update.
