With E3 firing up Monday it’s time to utilize the calm before the storm. Will you be downloading some virtual console games, or maybe play some Mario Kart? It’s up to you, but tell us below!

What are you playing this weekend?

    PokeMon. I’m hunting the Legendary birds in Platinum and Mewtwo in LeafGreen.

  2. HyperPhazon says...

    If I can find the time to play, I too will be playing Pokemon (Diamond), as I just recently found my old cartridge and decided to get back into it because of the coming of the new G/S/(and hopefully C) games that are coming out (turns out I had myself one hecuva team before I lost my cart). If I play anything else, It’ll likely be TF2, seeing as how Valve just released the Sniper and Spy updates.

  3. HyperPhazon says...

    Oh yeah, one more thing!

    @Lite

    You sure it’s legendary “birds”? The only pokemon games that had that in my memory were Red, Blue, and Green.

  4. Guch says...

    Actually started popping Mario Galaxy recently to do Luigi’s quest, along with some Mario Kart Wii and Animal Crossing City Folk.

    AND TEAM FORTRESS 2.

  5. srkelley says...

    Portal and Team Fortress 2. I may even start on Half-Life. I have to redownload the OrangeBox tonight though. I’m not looking forward to that.

    I think I’ll play some Chinatown Wars while I wait for Portal to finish or watch some tv. I hate myself, I lost Days of Ruin and Picross. I would be playing those right now.

    guitar hero metallica and rock band 2 with some friends, maybe mario kart too

    @ HyperPhazon:

    Once you beat the Elite Four and get the National Dex, Proffesor Oak will appear in a house in Eterna City. Talk to him to start the Legendary Birds side-quest. Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno will roam Sinnoh.

  8. HyperPhazon says...

    @ Lite

    Cool, I never knew you could do that (though from experience, I find that Zapdos is the only worthwhile for battling). I just hope that they aren’t as hard to find initially as Latios/Latias was in Ruby and Saphire. I spent weeks trying to even encounter them (they weren’t marked on any map, and they changed locations every time you switched a route).

  9. Derek B. says...

    I’ll be playing Boom Blox Bash Party this weekend.

  10. Lite (on a crappy PC!!) says...

    @ HyperPhazon:

    Ohh…boy…All three roam at once, the same way Latio/as did, the same way the Legendary beasts did in GSC, and the same way Cresselia and Mesprit do. You’re gonna go insane. I’ve barely struck the birds. I aaaaalmost had Articuno yesterday.

  11. LuigiFreak says...

    I plan on playing Portal, Jump: Ultimate Stars, and Final Fantasy 7 =P

  12. Andrew G. says...

    @srkelley: You haven’t played Half-Life 2 yet? You’re absolutely in for a treat. ;D

    Anyway, I just received my copy of Punch-Out for Wii that I won from the Atari boxart contest here on Infendo, and I absolutely love it! I’m not a fan of the original game, but this one is soooo good. Thanks Infendo!

  13. HyperPhazon says...

    @ Lite

    Well, good luck with your hunting then!

  14. streex says...

    Custer’s Revenge FTW!

  15. Will says...

    E3 Packing 2009 with added Wii Motion Plus controls.

    If I beat that game in time, i’ll probably relax with some Cross Edge X.

  16. Muggins says...

    Punch out. Attempting not to throw the controller ;)

  17. david says...

    I will play a lot of Majora’s Mask in the virtual console. And some Team Fortress 2, I wan’t the guns of the Spy

  18. tylor says...

    Finishing Gun on the cube (got it for $5 and it’s actually decent!), more Punch-Out!!, and some FF: Crystal Chronicles.

  19. Joshdad says...

    Mostly Neverwinter Nights on my PC.

    I’ll also probably play some Tiki Towers and Lode Runner on the Wii with my son.

  20. Will says...

    @ Joshdad

    I use to play Neverwinter Nights all the time! I still have the original map that came with the game on my wall!

  21. BatmanX says...

    Probably just Pokemon Diamond and checking out the features of my bro’s new dsi.

  22. Joshdad says...

    @Will

    Great game isn’t it? I’ve beaten it a couple of times, but it’s still fun to play through every year or so. I actually have the Gold edition which includes all the expansions. I also have Neverwinter Nights 2, but honestly I think I prefer the original over the second.

  23. mandrake says...

    Little King’s Story in the Wii, great game. And Rhythm Paradise ds

  24. Jonkind says...

    Mass Effect, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for Cube, and maybe some Bionic Commando Rearmed. Probably fill the gaps with some Rock Band or Guitar Hero Metallica.

  25. Lite (on a crappy PC!!) says...

    AHA!! I GOT ZAPDOS!

  26. Mr.Man says...

    i will be playing splinter cell,splinter cell pandora tomorrow, and legend of zelda the wind waker.

  27. Mr.Man says...

    oh and i forgot to mention legend of zelda ocarina of time

  28. Mr.Man says...

    all on the gamecube

  29. J@]{O says...

    chinatown wars

  30. Keefe says...

    GameStop is selling used copies of Super Mario Galaxy for 30 bucks, so I managed to snag one of those. That’s right, the last Wii owner to not own Super Mario Galaxy finally picked it up this weekend. I’m not a fan of 3D platformers, so I pretty much just figured that the kids would play it, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Pretty awesome game. And of course the kids are already WAY ahead of me on their save game….
