Nintendo ramps up Switch 2 production

Hello, Chris here with a rather special (to me at least) issue of Switch Weekly.

This is the 454th weekly email that I've sent since starting in October of 2016. Like I mentioned last week, the newsletter is now gearing up to undergo some changes and that time is fast approaching. As a result, (pending any unforeseen problems) this will be the last issue of Switch Weekly — but, worry not, as this weekly newsletter isn't going anywhere — more so, just evolving.

Starting next week the newsletter will be known as 🌸 Hanafuda Report. It'll continue to deliver the same format, with me still writing my thoughts on the week in Nintendo, curating the links that you need to see, and sharing what games are on the horizon.

But, after nine years under the 'Switch' banner, I wanted to find a name that wasn't tied to one specific Nintendo machine (sure, Nintendo gave me something of a blessing in sticking with the Switch name for their new console, but a change is what was wanted, so a change is what we've got). I've landed on a name that will endure, and is something that I feel is a nice nod to Nintendo's rich past.

With the name change will come a new website, a new and exciting Hanafuda Club membership, and a redesigned newsletter too of course. All of which you'll see next week!

So, what do you need to do? Ideally, nothing. But, by way of some housekeeping, this newsletter will start to turn up from a new address over the next few weeks, so if you want to add chris@hanafudareport.com to your inbox whitelist that will help ensure you keep getting it.

Ok, so that's the big announcement done! Look out for Hanafuda Report in your inbox next week. 🤩

Right. Over the next week we've got over 40 games landing on the eShop, including Persona 3 Reload on Switch 2, the new Katamari game, and much more. Full list below!

If you're playing Legends Z-A hit reply and let me know how you like it so far! Which starter did you go for? I've not picked it up just yet though, as I still want to finish Galaxy 2 before jumping into some Pokeballin.

Anyway, for the last time as Switch Weekly, let's get to it. 🫡
