#200: Your Nintendo Update
|
Double century. 
Issue 200 — September 27, 2020 
Hi folks , yup it’s issue #200 of Switch Weekly with your Nintendo news round-up. Hope you’re having a great Sunday ! Kinda crazy that I’ve been sending this newsletter for nearly four years now . Big number milestones always make me sit back and think about this email and what it’s become. I love doing it, and it’s so great that I get to share all the amazing stuff I find with you week in, week out. I’ve been looking back over some older issues and it really has been a pleasure to highlight some fantastic Nintendo-related reads over the years. I hope you’ve enjoyed it too, and find that the newsletter continues to be a valuable read in your inbox. I’m always open to read any feedback or comments, so please do hit reply and let me know your thoughts on it. Whilst I’m here I want to extend a thanks to those who make this possible, as the support from my patrons really does help keep the newsletter sustainable and accessible to all. Right, talking of Patreon, for October the Switch Games Club will be playing through Donkey Kong Country 2 — interested in joining us? Details here . Over 25 games are landing on the store next week , the highlight of which has to be Super Mario Bros. 35 . Battle Royale Mario-style sounds awesome, and I can’t wait to try it out ( and no doubt get destroyed ). The full list of upcoming games is below as usual.
Enjoy the issue, and here’s to the next 200!
