Switch Weekly - Here's your Nintendo update

INTERVIEW Monster Hunter finally broke the west, but it wants to go broader still — "We've created this really great global community of Monster Hunter fans, many of whom have come in through the more recent games.

Martin Robinson // Eurogamer

PREVIEW Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is the cult series’ Yakuza 0 moment — Out later this month, this "prequel could spark interest in new fans to check out other entries in the series". Here's another positive preview from Chris Scullion at VGC.

REVIEW Doki Doki Literature Club Plus — "covers dark subjects most titles wouldn’t dream of approaching, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! left my jaw on the floor multiple times". This one seems to be reviewing very well, but I've seen a fair number of concerns when it comes to accessibility / text legibility.

REVIEW Mario Golf Super Rush: Another delightfully different Switch sports game — I shared a couple of reviews in last week's issue, but liked this one from Jordan Oloman, so figured it was worth sharing for those of you still undecided. "I don’t think it’s worth picking up Mario Golf Super Rush for the campaign unless you’re a solo player really keen on arcade golf and the Mario property. However, it’s an absolute no-brainer if you’re part of a big family who enjoy Mario sports games".

Jordan Oloman // NME

REVIEW Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol — Hmm, looks like this is a pretty basic port: "probably the worst way to play Zombies Ate My Neighbors ever".

Stuart Gipp // Nintendo Life

REVIEW Destroy All Humans— Sounds like a solid enough port of this well liked shooter.
