Switch Weekly - Your Nintendo Update

REVIEW Dredge — "a dark, engaging Switch experience that, unlike some of the three-eyed creatures you may pull up from the depths, feels perfectly sized". On a related note, here's an interview with the developer behind this 'cosmic horror fishing RPG'

Dylan Burns // Vooks

How Nintendo competes differently than Sony and Microsoft — This is a fairly high-level overview of the economics of Nintendo and how the company has "maintained its intergenerational audience". Oh, and it includes commentary from everyone's favourite analyst Michael Pachter.

Sarah E. Needleman // Wall Street Journal

REVIEW Storyteller — Looks to be a super imaginative puzzler with smart ideas and a neat art style, but it's one that's over a bit to soon maybe. It's been a long time coming too. Anyway, it's now on my watch list all the same.

Lowell Bell // Nintendo Life

REVIEW Rakuen Deluxe Edition — "Though a bit uneven, its best moments are spectacular enough to warrant a recommendation for anyone in need of a good cry or two".

Timothy Monbleau // Destructoid

Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life - The Harvest Moon GameCube classic returns on Switch — I played this back on the GameCube....twenty years ago. Looks like this remake is shaping up well.

Nintendo Life

More remakes please, Nintendo

Edan // Nintendo Everything

Super Mario 64: The complete history of the 'A Button' challenge — Admittedly I haven't watched all of the five plus hours of this, but if you have a keen interest in game mechanics this is likely well worth a watch. It's a mammoth deep dive into the intricacies of Super Mario 64 and the techniques needed to approach the game in such an unintended way.
