We’ve got the poll ready and waiting for you below. All you need handy is your Nintendo Network ID (if you have a Wii U), your 3DS friend code (if you have a 3DS), and an idea of which online games for those systems you’d want to play this coming Sunday at 4PM ET. We’ll take a look at the votes this Thursday and let you know which games we’ll be playing, in addition to what 3DS/Wii U friends you need to add.

Please don’t fill this out unless you plan on playing this weekend. There will be a new poll each week, so you can fill out a future one if/when you plan on participating.

The UK games retailer market has experienced its worst month ever, according to a new MCV report.

July sales were down 40.4 percent from June, with boxed game sales coming in at just over a million. That’s a 33.3 decrease year-over-year. Stores took in just £23m through game sales last month.

New software was an issue, as were other factors such as the warm weather (and people choosing to stay outside) as well as the wait for more new consoles. Nintendo did say, however, that it was pleased with 3DS sales in July.

Here’s the full top ten game sales for the month of July 2013:

1: The Last of Us (Sony)
2: Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition (Microsoft)
3. Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Nintendo)
4. FIFA 13 (EA)
5. Far Cry 3 (Ubisoft)
6. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros (Nintendo)
7. Tomb Raider (Square Enix)
8. Assassin’s Creed III (Ubisoft)
9. Call of Duty: Black Ops II (Activision)
10. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Legendary (Bethesda)
