👋 Hi, issue #213 of Switch Weekly here, with your update on all things Nintendo.

A notably shorter than usual issue today as a result of the holidays, however, the usual list of upcoming games is still here, along with a few links I think are worth seeing.

To all of those who celebrate, I hope you had a great Christmas — let me know if you got any good Nintendo-related gifts! You can just hit reply to this email. 😊

A quick note about last week's issue: I hit a bit of a technical issue during sending that resulted in a delay for most of you. Thanks for your patience and understanding on this. If you missed it, you can catch up here — and I'd reccommend you do, its a good issue.

Finally, I just want to thank you all for reading throughout 2020, and I hope I can count on your continued readership next year.

I'll be taking a short break next week (as it's my birthday next Sunday) — so the first issue of Switch Weekly of 2021 will be landing in your inbox on January 10. See you then!

Cheers,
Chris ✌️

Switch Games Club: January 2021

If you're a 'Community' level supporter on the Switch Weekly Patreon you're automatically a member of the Switch Games Club. Every month we play a game that's available on the Nintendo Switch and discuss it over on the Switch Weekly Discord.

For December we played through the excellent 'The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past' — something that's aged really well and remains super replayable to this day. A classic.

Our next play-through (starting January 4th) is the final game in the DKC SNES trilogy — Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble.
