#153: Your Nintendo Update
|
🎃 
Issue 153 — October 27, 2019 
Hey , here’s issue #153 of Switch Weekly, with the week’s Nintendo news. I managed to grab some time to give Ring Fit Adventure a try this week — I’m impressed. The tracking of the Joy-Cons seems super accurate, and the exercises seem really accessible. I’ll be sinking some more time into it for sure. Everyone on Twitter seems to be talking about The Outer Worlds and how good it is. It’s a multiplatform release, and it isn’t due to arrive on the Switch until next year. To be honest, I’m ok with this — I have such a backlog right now of stuff I want to play (with more on the horizon) that I’m good with the Switch version being later. Anyway, Luigi’s Mansion 3 is the big release next week, and it’s joined by over 20 other games (some spooky) including a couple of Resident Evil re-releases, a Super Monkey Ball port, and two classic Disney platformers. I’ll let you take a look.
Enjoy the issue,
Shuntaro Furukawa is ready to take Nintendo to the next level — Nintendo’s sixth (and relatively new) president talks about the company’s plans beyond gaming in this interview. This snippet stood out to me: “he’s committed to a strategy that has both helped and hurt the company in the past: A steadfast commitment to experimentation” . Alex Fitzpatrick // TIME REVIEW Return of the Obra Dinn — ” probably unlike anything you’ve ever played before ” — I missed this when it was first released last year, but it sounds like something I really shouldn’t let pass me by again. It’s from Lucas Pope of Papers, Please fame, and it sounds wholly original: ” a beautifully crafted and intricately constructed detective mystery […] with a harrowing narrative at its centre” . Ross Keniston // Nintendo Life ▶ Luigi’s Mansion 3 – Overview trailer — This is out next week. I loved the original on GameCube, but missed out on playing Dark Moon. Here’s an overview trailer showing off what to expect. Nintendo UK // YouTube ▶ Doom 64 — Look out for Nightmare Imps! Yep, we knew this one was coming, and now, some 22 years after the original N64 launch, we’ve got an official trailer showing off the re-release. It’s launching on March 20th 2020 on the eShop ( but if you can wait a bit longer you’ll get it free as a bonus for buying Doom Eternal ). Bethesda // YouTube The Outer Worlds Switch release date is set for next year Connor Sheridan // GamesRadar Two Point Hospital delayed on console to the first half of 2020 Craig Laycock // Two Point Studios REVIEW Cat Quest II — ” a charming little action RPG ” Jake Baldwin // Nintendo Life ▶ Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Announcement Trailer — Yup, we linked up a rumour suggesting this was coming, and now it’s confirmed. The 2013 western will be arriving on Switch in early December, with motion controls and HD rumble added in. TechlandGames // YouTube Ring Fit Adventure takes steps many exercise games don’t to include players with disabilities Laura K Dale Spooky games to play on Switch for Halloween Mike Scorpio // Miketendo 64
