It's the weekend, and the Nintendo Life team is ready to dive into a world of gaming. From the classic Ocarina of Time to the upcoming remake, and from the thrilling Rise of the Tomb Raider to the quirky Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, there's something for everyone. But what about the rest of you? What are you playing this weekend? Let's take a look at the diverse gaming preferences of our team members and see what they're up to.
The Ocarina of Time and the Remake
Jim Norman, our Features Editor, is currently immersed in a replay of the original Ocarina of Time. He's reached the Forest Temple, a place that still gives him goosebumps. But will he finish the game before the remake launches later this year? It's a tough call, as the remake promises to be a faithful recreation of the original, and the thought of revisiting the game in its new guise is tempting. Meanwhile, Mai Ladyman, our Video Producer, is also a fan of the original Ocarina of Time. She's been playing it on and off, and the thought of the remake has her excited. She's also been enjoying Rise of the Tomb Raider, a game that has become a nightly ritual for her.
Ollie Reynolds, our Reviews Editor, is currently working on a review of an undisclosed game. But when he's not reviewing, he's been playing Ocarina of Time and is preparing for the remake. He's also considering a cheeky 3D playthrough of the original. Gavin Lane, our Editor, has been enjoying Mario Kart World with his kids, and he's also been playing Kirby, Indy, and tidying up his gaming gear in the basement. Gonçalo Lopes, our Contributor, has been playing Virtua Striker 3 ver. 2002 for over two decades, and he's been surprised by the peculiar events that have unfolded. He's also been playing Söldner X Complete Collection, Psyvariar 3, FZ: Formation Z, and R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos.
Kate Gray, our other Contributor, is a fan of Slay the Spire 2, a game she's played multiple times. But what about the rest of you? What are you playing this weekend? Let us know in the poll below.

Personal Commentary
Personally, I think it's fascinating to see the diverse gaming preferences of our team members. From the classic Ocarina of Time to the upcoming remake, and from the thrilling Rise of the Tomb Raider to the quirky Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, there's something for everyone. But what about the rest of you? What are you playing this weekend? I think it's interesting to see how different people's gaming habits are, and how they're influenced by their personal experiences and preferences. For example, Jim Norman's replay of the original Ocarina of Time is a testament to the game's enduring appeal, while Mai Ladyman's nightly ritual with Rise of the Tomb Raider shows how games can become a part of our daily lives. From my perspective, it's also interesting to see how games can be a source of comfort and nostalgia, as well as a means of escape and exploration. What many people don't realize is that games can be a powerful tool for self-expression and creativity, and that they can offer a unique perspective on the world around us. If you take a step back and think about it, games are a reflection of our culture and society, and they can offer a window into the human experience. This raises a deeper question: how do games shape our perceptions and beliefs, and how do they influence our behavior and actions? A detail that I find especially interesting is how games can be a means of connecting with others, whether it's through online multiplayer or cooperative gameplay. What this really suggests is that games are not just a form of entertainment, but a social phenomenon that brings people together and creates shared experiences. In my opinion, the weekend poll is a great way to engage with our community and learn more about their gaming habits. It's also a fun way to spark conversation and debate, and to share our own experiences and perspectives. Personally, I think it's a great opportunity to connect with others who share our passion for gaming, and to explore the diverse world of games together.
