Spending time with Samus.
It’s the weekend! That means it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some games.
Before we do so, however, let’s take a look back at what’s been going on this week. One of the biggest stories was actually in relation to the massive leak suffered by Xbox in which Phil Spencer expressed a rather blunt desire to acquire Nintendo. Good luck with that, Phil.

Chill out, man.
We have taken a look at the YouTube channel Macho Nacho Productions a few times on Nintendo Life (remember the world’s smallest GameCube and the ‘thicc boi SP’?), but we were particularly interested in the channel’s latest video, which saw a Switch OLED get converted into a dedicated home console, and run a lot cooler in the process.
In the video (above), Tito from Macho Nacho showcased the TVii Switch Re-Shell Mod (working title), created by a modder called Set.

Over at the Tokyo Game Show this week, Japanese hardware firm Tassei Denki has been showing off some hardware prototypes that could potentially give us a glimpse into the near future. One of these is of particular interest to us and appears to be a new concept for the Nintendo 3DS.
The two units on display are powered by Ryzen and are presumably emulating 3DS titles for the purposes of the demonstration. They both boast 6-inch screens with a 1080p AMOLED display and are capable of running games at 90Hz.
