Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th September)

Nintendo Life’s weekly “Talking Point” column engages readers with a discussion feature asking what games they plan to play over the weekend. This week’s edition reflects on a relatively quiet week following the previous week’s double Nintendo Direct presentations.

Despite the lull, the gaming industry still delivered notable news. A new first-party Nintendo title launched, while Capcom revealed several Switch 2 announcements and updates during their Tokyo Games Show 2026 presentation, highlighting continued third-party developer support for Nintendo’s upcoming console generation.

In related merchandise news, Nintendo opened pre-orders for an electronic Ocarina of Time instrument through its official Nintendo Store. The device brings the iconic wind instrument from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to life, allowing fans to play authentic music from the classic game. Pre-orders have reportedly attracted significant interest from the Nintendo community.

The column serves as a weekly community touchstone, featuring curated gaming news roundups and inviting readers to share their weekend gaming plans across recent releases and classic titles.
