Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st September)

Well folks, the weekend is here and it's capping off (heh) a pretty interesting week in the world of Nintendo.

For starters, it's been a big one for the upcoming Switch successor. Many folks online thought that this would be 'the' week that Nintendo would finally reveal the new console, but alas, it wasn't to be. Instead, we got a glimpse at what might be with a series of renders and photos of unknown origin. Are they real? Are they fake? We still don't know for sure, but we're certainly intrigued.

Nintendo actually did make a fairly consequential announcement, however, but one we perhaps weren't expecting. The firm released a statement confirming that it would file a patent lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair, leading to an official response from the latter and much speculation over the potential outcome.

Elsewhere, we got a couple of new Netflix trailers in the form of Castlevania: Nocturne and Devil May Cry. We also reviewed the much-anticipated The Plucky Squire, and finally the PS Vita classic Freedom Wars was confirmed to receive a remastered release on the Switch. Phew!
