If you thought last year was “sad” for Switch, 2023 might be hard to handle Gavin Lane // Nintendo Life Ubisoft “surprised” by lackluster sales of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope — This doesn’t come across as wholly surprising to me considering for the past five years we’ve all been conditioned to seeing the original game on sale for around $10. No matter its merits, I think seeing the first game on constant discount has maybe hurt this one? Steven T. Wright // Gamespot Saudi Arabia increases Nintendo stake to 6% Tom Phillips // Eurogamer ▶ The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 Trailer — It has been six years since this amazing trailer gave us all another glimpse at the Nintendo Switch’s greatest game, Breath of the Wild. It is crazy to me that we are now only a few short months away from its sequel and we know soooo very little. On the one hand I love that the follow up is so shrouded in mystery – but another part of me feels the fear of second-album syndrome has gotta be weighing heavy on Nintendo’s collective shoulders. BTW, if you want to check out the 2017 reveal presentation again, I made a sub-30 minute cut right here . Nintendo // YouTube ▶ The Switch doesn’t feel old to me Nintendo Life // YouTube Fire Emblem Engage sounds like a battle over the soul of the franchise Sisi Jiang // Kotaku REVIEW Chained Echoes — ” a wonderful mash-up of ’90s JRPG tropes, masterfully woven together to produce an experience that feels simultaneously nostalgic and fresh “. Mitch Vogel // Nintendo Life REVIEW Lone Ruin — ” a roguelike with style but it lacks in originality, making for an overall experience that’s worthwhile for fans of Hades and Diablo, but one that doesn’t quite match up to the epic scale of those adventures “. Connor Christie // Pocket Tactics REVIEW Terror of Hemasaurus Metro What is the difference between Story Of Seasons and Harvest Moon? A handy explainer Kate Gray // Nintendo Life ‘Excuuuuse me, Princess!’: An oral history of The Legend of Zelda cartoon Nicole Carpenter // Polygon Octopath Traveler and constructing an eight-fold world — Melding eight stories into one makes this narrative one to experience. Joe Richards // Superjump Nintendo’s golden ticket – How one boy won a trip to Japan and met Miyamoto John Szczepaniak // Time Extension Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Legendaries avoid a problem that plagued previous generations Smangaliso Simelane // GameRant The Rare mistake that led to an N64 upgrade Jared McCarty // Superjump An obsessive gamer’s guide to chronic pain peripherals Nicole Clark // Polygon
