Issue 267— January 30, 2022

Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Hey, Chris here with issue #267 of Switch Weekly — your Nintendo round-up for the past week. Hope you're well. 

So, Pokemon Legends seems to be a hit — all the early reviews are super positive, and it looks like this may finally be the shot in the arm this series has needed. Now of course, Pokemon has remained a huge series/seller for over two decades now, so it's not like a change of formula was needed from a sales point of view — however, as someone who hasn't really been interested in a mainline Pokemon title in years, the changes in Arceus seem great. I've not had chance to play it yet. My copy is on the way. 

There's just under of 30 games landing on the Switch next week. List is below for you.

Catch you next week,  
Chris โœŒ๏ธ

REVIEW Pokémon Legends: Arceus - More than a trainer journey — "does an excellent job of pushing boundaries while staying true to what has kept Pokémon popular for over two decades and is an eye-opening glimpse at what Game Freak could do in future games of the series".

Laura Gray // Screen Rant

โ–ถ What the critics think of Pokemon Legends: Arceus — A video from yours truly. I read a dozen or so of the early reviews for the new Pokemon game to bring you this round-up of the critical opinion. Rather positive reception to this one — in fact, when researching the quotes for this video I was convinced to place an order for my own copy (I was a touch hesitant before). Oh, please do subscribe if you haven't yet — I'm approaching 300 subs.
