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 ✌️  
Chris

What is holding back the Kirby franchise? — Makes the case that the pink puffball's newest adventure does nothing to improve or innovate on the same old formula.

REVIEW Farm Tycoon

The Playdate invokes a better bygone era of handhelds — Ok, not a Nintendo link, but I think you'll enjoy it.
