What’s New, Nintendo? (Week of 5-16)

Hello again, and welcome to another week of what happened in the world of Nintendo last week, and what’s coming to Switch this next week!

Last week Nintendo gave us one of my favorite presentations an Indie Showcase. I always really enjoy seeing what Indie developers have brought to the table with these, and I’ve learned about some of my all time favorite games such as Evergate or Hades from Indie Showcases. Check out the full recap with trailers here if you missed it!

Right before the Indie Showcase was announced, Nintendo had released their updated financials. Per usual, the Switch is selling non stop. Take a look at our rundown of the financials and let us know when you think the Switch will pass PlayStation 4 in all time sales.

Lastly, if you’re a parent, and your kid loves Pokémon cards, take a look at our all comprehensive guide on what they are, how to buy them, and what they actually do. I thought this was a great guide!

That’s a wrap for news and rumors, now let’s take a look at the upcoming games this week! Oh, and don’t forget to check out our review of Eastward!
