Switch Weekly - Taking a Tour of Mario's new tracks
|
Coconut Shy Guy. Web version | Unsubscribe  Issue 274— March 20, 2022  Hey, here's issue #274 of Switch Weekly with your update on the week in Nintendo. This week saw the first wave of new Mario Kart 8 tracks drop, and it's been a blast to revisit the game and be reminded of just how darn great it is. For a game that debuted originally back in 2014, it still feels super fresh. I get why some may want to nitpick over the visuals, but honestly — to see one of the best racers of all time updated with new content years after release is just great. Whatever you think of the graphics, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains endlessly silly fun, and I'm all for another slice of that right now. What's ahead? Well, there's just under 25 games coming to the Switch next week — the highlight of course is the new Kirby game. The full list is below for you as ever. I'd hoped to be sharing the State of Switch survey results with you today, but sadly, after two plus years of doing our very best to avoid it, COVID finally caught up with the Brandrick household. I've somehow personally managed to avoid it, but caring for others has taken priority of course. I'll hopefully be sharing the results with you next week. Catch you then. Cheers, 🎮 Currently Playing — Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Tunic (Xbox) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's excellent new tracks prove the original is still the best —"It just makes sense - if you can't improve on perfection, why not just go back and serve up another round or two".
