|
No objections. Hi, issue #229 of Switch Weekly here, with a look at the week in Nintendo. There is just over 20 games coming to the Switch next week , including the New Pokemon Snap. That’s no doubt the biggest release, but you’ll find the full list below as ever.
In other news, I had a go at
making my own Nintendo-themed crossword
— I’ve linked it up further down in the issue. Please do give it a try.

Matt T.M Kim // IGN Why Sherlock Holmes is called Herlock Sholmes in The Great Ace Attorney Wesley Yin-Poole // Eurogamer REVIEW Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion — I like the look of this. ” a fun ride, albeit a short one. [..] it’s worth it for the fun dialogue, interesting story, adorable characters, and ability to tear up financial documents. [..] a lot of surreal Gen Z humor “. Dominick Ashtear // Nintendo Enthusiast REVIEW Fez — ” When Fez clicks, it’s sublime [..] stands as a truly unique indie game that draws inspiration from classics but is wholly its own precious and maddening experience that needs to be played “.

Brian Shea // Game Informer Nintendo Themed Crossword Puzzle
I’ve been toying with the idea of making some crosswords for a little while, and I’ve finally given it a go. I’ve never made a crossword puzzle before so it was fun to put together and figure out how things line up, write the clues, etc. It’s probably quite easy to complete, but I wanted to ease into it. Let me know if you beat it. Chris Brandrick // Switch Weekly
