#192: Your Nintendo Update
|
Summer lullin. 
Issue 192 — August 2, 2020 
Hey , here’s issue #192 of your weekly Switch round-up. Bit of a quiet week in terms of big news or big releases. Summer lull is in full swing I think! There just under 20 games hitting the eShop over the next seven days, but again, like last week, no big releases jumping out at me. Oh, here’s a random thing I spotted this week — in the Kickstarter for Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes the developer states they hope to bring their game to Nintendo’s next console, whatever that is. They are pretty upfront as to why this: the Switch isn’t powerful enough. Them saying this is of no real surprise but with the Switch now three years old, and with next-gen looming I felt it made for an interesting tidbit to share and ponder on.
Finally, I just want to let you know about the

Neal Ronaghan // Nintendo World Report REVIEW Hotel Sowls — This mysterious puzzler has ” impossibly cute art direction and interesting visual language ” but often ” struggles between being a true mystery, and holding the player’s hand with clues “. Katie Livingston // Cubed 3 The ‘Donkey Kong Country’ soundtrack is better than Xanax — Yep, I’m pretty much only sharing this as I’m currently playing through DKC, but yup, the soundtrack slaps.
