This week we see another full release list, with seven games hitting both regions simultaneously and only one hitting North America in catch-up. Once again, there’s lots new to buy – plus, there’s some discounts and demo content to grab this week too!
We’re seeing an increase in titles being funded through Kickstarter at the moment, such as Battle Chasers: Nightwar and Prodigy. Now we have yet another in the form of ‘Re:Legend’.
Super Meat Boy has been around for years now; originally releasing on Xbox 360 in 2010, with various other console releases since then. That doesn’t stop it from being an awesome little platformer however, and fans of the game have wanted to see a release for Nintendo Switch. Thankfully, their prayers have now been answered.
Do shepherds dream of 1000 Sheep?
Since its release on Nintendo Switch in June – and last year on other consoles – Shantae: Half-Genie Hero fans have been patiently waiting for promised DLC add-ons. Developer WayForward have now revealed that the Risky Boots DLC (a whole new campaign for the game) is complete, and has already been submitted to Nintendo. Not long now folks!
The Nintendo Switch lends itself perfectly to games based around a very simple set of controls, short bursts of multiplayer action, and – ultimately – fun. We’ve seen games such as De Mambo and Overcooked: Special Edition hit the Switch’s eShop in recent times, and they’re two great examples of this mantra. Bringing Rocket Fist to the console seems to be an attempt at continuing this trend, so let’s see if it’s a success.
Thanks to the magic of time zones, it’s already the 10th in Japan – which means you can already grab that demo you’ve been eagerly looking forward to.
With Snipperclips a stellar first first-party entry into the Switch eShop catalogue, Flip Wars – released in mid-July – is the next offering. While it does employ the same pick-up-and-play ethic of the cutting-out puzzler, that’s where the similarities end between the two titles. Flip Wars places the focus on the battling, the head-to-head multiplayer which crowns the best as the winner and the rest as the also-rans.
Slime-san started life as a title on Steam before its very recent release on Nintendo Switch, and PC owners were treated to a DLC expansion called ‘Blackbird’s Kraken.’ We can now confirm that Nintendo Switch owners will be getting the same love too.
While previously dealing with an “August 2017” release window, we’ve now gotten a more solid release date a bit further down the line.
