Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (16th May)
Nintendo Life editors share their gaming plans for the weekend of May 16th, highlighting a mix of new and established titles.

Reynolds also intends to revisit Aliens: Fireteam Elite on PS5, describing the co-op shooter as “shallow yet endlessly entertaining.” The news of an upcoming sequel to Aliens: Fireteam Elite has renewed his interest in the title.
Features Editor Jim Norman has been spending considerable time with Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, describing it as a “goldfish game”—one of those titles you keep open and check in on periodically. While he’s enjoyed observing his virtual characters’ activities, he expressed a desire for something more actively engaging. Norman is considering branching out into Kid Icarus: Uprising or taking a chance on Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, acknowledging the decision as “a conundrum.”
