It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
- by Jim Norman

It has certainly been a festive week this time around at Nintendo Life. We’ve been busy getting all things ready for the end of the year and are now ready to catch up on all of the great games that we have missed in the meantime.
The week brought us our Nintendo Switch Year in Review (always a reminder that we do, in fact, play surprisingly little) and we put together a list of our most-played games. We also asked you lovely lot for your favourite Switch games of the year, while we looked ahead and discussed our most-anticipated games for 2023 (that aren’t Zelda).
In the world of reviews this week, we have been filling up on quality content all-round. Our thoughts on the retro beat ’em up River City Girls 2, the delightful Lil Gator Game and the brilliant Chained Echoes are now up for you to read – perfect for a last-minute gift, we’d say!
Now a group of our writers have come together to share what games they are going to be playing over the weekend. Take a browse through our suggestions and then take to the comments to let us know what’s on your downtime list!
Merry readings!
