Switch Weekly - I want these GameCube Joy-Con already

Web version · Unsubscribe

Ubisoft "surprised" by lackluster sales of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope — This doesn't come across as wholly surprising to me considering for the past five years we've all been conditioned to seeing the original game on sale for around $10. No matter its merits, I think seeing the first game on constant discount has maybe hurt this one?

▶ The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 Trailer — It has been six years since this amazing trailer gave us all another glimpse at the Nintendo Switch's greatest game, Breath of the Wild. It is crazy to me that we are now only a few short months away from its sequel and we know soooo very little. On the one hand I love that the follow up is so shrouded in mystery - but another part of me feels the fear of second-album syndrome has gotta be weighing heavy on Nintendo's collective shoulders. BTW, if you want to check out the 2017 reveal presentation again, I made a sub-30 minute cut right here.

▶ The Switch doesn't feel old to me

REVIEW Chained Echoes — "a wonderful mash-up of '90s JRPG tropes, masterfully woven together to produce an experience that feels simultaneously nostalgic and fresh".

Mitch Vogel // Nintendo Life

REVIEW Lone Ruin — "a roguelike with style but it lacks in originality, making for an overall experience that’s worthwhile for fans of Hades and Diablo, but one that doesn’t quite match up to the epic scale of those adventures".

Connor Christie // Pocket Tactics

REVIEW Terror of Hemasaurus

Metro

Octopath Traveler and constructing an eight-fold world — Melding eight stories into one makes this narrative one to experience.
