Looking good. Hey, issue #284 of Switch Weekly here, with your look at the week in Nintendo. Every Sunday I sit down and take a look through what games are coming to the Switch in the week ahead. More often than not, just one or two titles will personally take my eye out of the usual ~30 or so titles releasing. This week however, plenty of stuff has caught my attention, and is worth you taking a quick look at. I've marked all of those with a star. ⭐️ There's just under 30 games coming out, with lots of variety — you're bound to find something worth picking up. Let me know what you like the look of! (Just hit reply) This week I've been playing a fair bit of Mini Motorways — it came to Switch following the last Indie World. I played it first a few years back on iOS, but there's something about these little games from Dinosaur Polo Club that I find so compelling — so I'm back for another playthrough. Simple, and kinda soothing to get into. Recommended. Cheers ✌️ 🎮 Currently Playing — Mini Motorways Mario Strikers: Battle League Football will get a First Kick online multiplayer demo next weekend — ...and you can play the tutorial now to give it a go.
