Could Switch become the best selling console of all time?

Hi, here's issue #231 of Switch Weekly, with your round-up of the week in Nintendo.

Last week I mentioned that I had not picked up New Pokemon Snap at launch. Well, I've since got a copy...and I gotta tell ya, it really isn't grabbing me. I think my nostalgia for the original did some heavy lifting in my desire to get this, as the core gameplay here just seems slow, repetitive, and isn't really engaging me. Admittedly, I haven't put a ton of time into it yet, but my initial impression is that while it's a very chill experience, it seems dangerously close to flipping from chill...to boring. I'm hoping it picks up. Did you get it? If so, hit reply and let me know what you think, tell me I'm wrong / right. 

Anyway, over 20 games are hitting the Switch over next week, and the remaster of the Famicom Detective Club Games seems to be the highlight. Here's a good thread on Reddit detailing what they are and why they matter. 

Big Nintendo records, a new IP, and even a tantalising Waluigi render in the issue below.

Catch you next week,
Chris ✌️
