REVIEW Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion — "the Switch version gives you a more authentic PSP experience".

Ruby Spiers-Unwin // Pocket Tactics

REVIEW Wavetale — "one of the more legitimately fun and unique games I've played through this year".

John Rairdin // Nintendo World Report

INTERVIEW PlatinumGames' Hideki Kamiya on Bayonetta, Project G.G., and Elon Musk’s Twitter — Good news for Bayonetta fans, as Kamiya says here he "personally can't conceive the Bayonetta series ever ending".

Daniel Robson // IGN

Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters launch for Nintendo Switch in Spring 2023 — The six games will be available individually or as a bundle.

Adam Vitale // RPG Site

Nintendo just released its version of Spotify Wrapped..and folks are sharing theirs in the Switch Weekly Discord. Drop me a reply to this email if you want an invite.

Ana Diaz // Polygon

REVIEW River City Girls 2 — This one "does a lot right" but poor performance "really brings the experience down, being an almost constant thorn in your side.".

Andrew Thornton // Hey Poor Player

REVIEW Lil Gator Game — "As long as you don’t mind a bit of mindless and aimless wandering, Lil Gator Game is a laid back and relaxing platformer (if a short one) that’s ably carried by its brilliantly funny dialogue.".

Chris Scullion // VGC

REVIEW Aka — It's heart is in the right place, but this is ultimately "a relaxed but overly plain adventure sim".

Jordan Rudek // Nintendo World Report

Nintendo confirms Mario Strikers’ next DLC is its ‘final free update’ — Feels like yet another Nintendo sports game that didn't quite hit the mark overall.

Jordan Middler // VGC

34 years ago, a forgotten Nintendo masterpiece paved the way for Mario Kart — Nintendo's Hideki Konno is best known for directing the first two Mario Kart games, but one sports game he directed in '88 "remains just as fun to play today".

David Grossman // Inverse
