It's great to see members checking into Switch Scores. Thank you! Head over to switchscores.com/register to sign up. I'll send you an invite code if you'd like to register using email/password :)

"Royal Adviser", a board and tabletop game from 2019, has been de-listed from the Switch eShop. It's showing a 404 on the Nintendo website. It has 0 reviews so you probably never knew about it ... www.switchscores.com/games/2267/r...

New: The member dashboard will now suggest a game for you to review - either from your collection (if it's Completed or Endless), or from the pool of games that need 1 review to be ranked. Help get more games ranked at switchscores.com :)

In the last 24-48 hours, Nintendo made a few changes to the Search endpoint on their European API: - switched from http to https - limited to 1000 items per request (previously this was unlimited) I found out because my scripts only loaded 1000 items last night 🫠 fyi @nintendolife.com

Based on our low quality scores, here's how bad the quality issue is on the Switch eShop - year by year. Our measures are not perfect - but the problem is growing every year. 35% of all Switch games released in 2024 were low quality. (aka shovelware)

Another game that looks cool, but we don't have any reviews for it: A Rite from the Stars. www.switchscores.com/games/14398/... I've reached out to Artax Games to invite them to sign up at Switch Scores. It would be good to see them on Bluesky, too!

Ooh! Sony removed some shovelware… Now we just need Nintendo to follow suit. I wish they would, but I’m not expecting much… www.eurogamer.net/playstation-...

Copying the Nintendo method of posting something really late with little explanation: Switch Scores will continue to exist with the Switch 2 coming out. There will be a later announcement about changes. (Because I don’t know how to do it yet.) Expect “stability updates” too 😅

Spent a chunk of my evening adding categories to games on the site. I’ve also been building a few tools to help with the process. It’s hard to keep up with categorising all the new Switch games!

First up on our featured games list is Botworld Odyssey. This looks really cool but we'd love to see a few more reviews. Maybe @dhindes.bsky.social @dylanbevis.bsky.social would like to sign up for Switch Scores and you can easily contact our reviewers? 😄 www.switchscores.com/games/13663/...

The members dashboard at Switch Scores just got a lot more interesting. We're now showing site news here, and we've also added featured games. Head on over to switchscores.com and request an invite code if you'd like to suggest a game.

Weird eShop listing: a bundle, called quite simply "BUNDLE" www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

Late last year I made it easier to ask for an invite code at Switch Scores. Since then, no new user has signed up with a Twitter/X login. Only email. It’s a good time to start phasing that out. Won’t happen overnight but it’s a goal. Which other sign in methods are of interest? Google?

ok, this is pretty, pretty, pretty good in terms of the venn diagram of things I like 😅 (via @sircollectalot.bsky.social)

Top Switch games in 2025 - 17th Jan More top Switch games here: www.switchscores.com/top-rated Switch 2 is going to disrupt my site a bit. I'll have to see how many games are exclusive to Switch 2. Most likely I'll need to add more pages and filters. Fun 😎

They finally announced it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpc...

So we pretty much know everything about the Switch 2, right? If all the leaks are true (or mostly true) the one big blind spot is the games. My money’s on 1-2-Switch 2

I would love to speak to publishers of the following Switch games. All games can be found in the Coming soon section of the eShop. But none appear on the Nintendo website. For releases up to 19th Jan, 24 games appear on the website. These 6 are missing. I'd love to know why ...

There is now a limit on the Recent releases page on the Switch eShop. It used to scroll almost indefinitely, which was slow... but there's not another way see recent releases. The only way I can find is on the website - but the list isn't the same. www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Search...

Happy New Year! :-)

📬 Issue 414 of Switch Weekly is out now: switchweekly.com/issue/414 #Nintendo

Wow, the difficulty goes all the way up to “Return”!

About to start Ys VIII!

And here's why we have invite codes at Switch Scores, instead of open registration. To stop the spam.

Switch game publishers can sign up for access to Switch Scores by filling in this form: www.switchscores.com/partners/gam... Join the site and you can get in touch with reviewers to review your games.

We’ve simplified registration, so you can request an invite code right from the signup page. Join here: www.switchscores.com/register

Which track should Nintendo add to their music app next? My vote: youtu.be/PaSvjT8nSP8?...

How will Nintendo top Mario Kart 8? It’s amazing how much MK8 has sold, considering it’s a Wii U port. Interesting than instead of MK9, Nintendo released a huge amount of DLC for MK8.

Paid for Switch Online after a few years away. Went for the expansion pack, too. Mario Kart 64 brings back memories! Using the Pro controller is hard though, the control stick is super sensitive.

This is great! Would like to see more mobile games going this way. www.theguardian.com/games/2024/d...

Our Google search stats are high enough to be meaningful. Lots of impressions, but some search terms with low clicks. With a few tweaks, we might be able to move up the rankings ...

We're combining the navigation for members, developers, reviewers, and games companies. There are still separate dashboards - but this will help you to find your way around. Also, the developers page and the V2 API is now open to all members! Work in progress - more to come.

Followed a bunch of indie studios 👋 More need to be on Bluesky though. We're doing cool things for Switch publishers. Pop over to my profile and check the pinned post for more...

Publishers and Developers can now edit their own profile details, via the Games company dashboard. We've added fields for email address, Bluesky, and Threads. If you're a Switch publisher or developer, you can sign up below. www.switchscores.com/partners/gam...

Love Astro Bot! (I do play games not on Switch)

We've updated the Reviewers dashboard to show the number of unranked games by year. Click through to see a list of the games not already reviewed by your site. A major change to this page is we've excluded low quality titles. How to sign up as a reviewer: www.switchscores.com/partners/rev...
