Data for days. 
Issue 224 — March 21, 2021 
👋 Hey, here’s issue #224 of Switch Weekly, with your update on the week in Nintendo. The State of Switch survey results are out now , and you’re the first to know about it . I’ve been working on this over the past few weeks, diving into all the data from over 11,500 responses, and seeing what folks now think about Nintendo’s hybrid after four years on the market. You’ll want to grab a drink and settle in for a long read — here’s the link you need to read the results in full . If you’ve got any feedback, comments, or thoughts I would love to hear it — just hit reply to this email, I read every one. Oh, and any shares of the survey results are very much appreciated. 😊 Anyway, survey aside, we’ve got a huge week coming up on the eShop as there are over 35 games hitting the store , including the likes of Monster Hunter: Rise, Overcooked All You Can Eat, a new entry in farming sim Story of Seasons, oh and Balan Wonderworld is turning up. The full list, along with my descriptions, is below as usual.
Have a great week, and thank you for supporting the newsletter.
