## Summary

Nintendo Life’s weekly feature asked its contributors and readers what they planned to play over the weekend, with Splatoon Raiders and Pokémon Pokopia among the most prominent choices. The post is primarily a community discussion, but it also reflects current interest in Nintendo’s games and upcoming releases following a relatively quiet news week.

Contributors discussed finishing or returning to Pokémon Pokopia ahead of its next DLC, alongside Go-Go Town!, Slay the Spire 2, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Splatoon 2’s Octo Expansion, Spartan: Total Warrior and Blazing Angels. One writer completed Pokémon Pokopia’s story after more than 95 hours, while the site also highlighted the forthcoming Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass, Super Mario Sunshine joining GameCube Nintendo Switch Online, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 receiving a Switch 2 Edition.
