Issue 169 — February 23, 2020 
Hey , issue #169 of Switch Weekly here, with all the Nintendo stuff you need to see from the past seven days. Well, what a response so far to the State of Switch survey ! I launched the questionnaire in last week’s issue and in just under seven days nearly 10,000 of you have filled it out. Thank you. 🙏 The survey will close as we approach March 3rd (the Switch’s anniversary) and the results will be shared here first shortly after. Of course the survey launch isn’t the only big thing that happened last week.We finaly got an Animal Crossing Direct, sharing plenty of details about the island getaway that’s landing on Switch towards the end of next month. I’ll be picking it up — although I haven’t played the last few entries the series holds a special place in my heart. I remember waiting ages for it launch here in Europe on the GameCube, and impatience got the better of me and I imported the U.S. version so I could play it sooner. I put a lot of time into that GameCube version, and feel it’s about time to jump back into the chill vibes that series offers. Bring on March 20th. Anyway, there’s over 30 games hitting the eShop next week, with Two Point Hospital and two Metro games being some of the highlights. The full list is below. As ever, thanks for reading.
Cheers,
P.S — A big hello to all new subscribers joining this week. I hope you enjoy this first issue. Note, you can always hit reply and let me know what you think. I read each and every mail. ▶ Animal Crossing: New Horizons Direct —Nearly half an hour of new details about the upcoming Animal Crossing game. Highlight for me: You can terraform your island . Here’s a decent text summary if you’d rather that. Nintendo // YouTube The State of Switch Survey 2020 — If you missed this last week and haven’t had chance to fill it in yet, here’s the link again. 😊 Chris Brandrick // Switch Weekly REVIEW Two Point Hospital — High praise for this one: “With Two Point Hospital, we have a genuine contender for not only the console’s best sim game but also the best port, full-stop”. Chris Button // Vooks REVIEW Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition — ” a wonderful upgrade to an excellent action-adventure video game “. Arthur Damian // Nintendo Enthusiast REVIEW Vitamin Connection — Although seemingly not perfect, this is said to be ” one of the zestiest Switch exclusives of the year so far “. I just love the little Joy-Con ship they fly around in. Jon Mundy // Nintendo Life ▶ Android on Nintendo Switch is amazing —Now of course this will kill any warranty you may have, but if you want to run Android on your Switch (and in turn use Netflix, xCloud, etc) then here’s how. It’s really come along. Linus Tech Tips // YouTube ℹ️ Enjoying the newsletter? Support it on Patreon .
