New Nintendo Downloads – Games Asylum

Gripper, DREDGE, Papertris, LUNARK, Blade Assault, Cannon Dancer – Osman, and The Last Worker hit the Switch

The Switch eShop is awash with nostalgia this week, with several retro and retro-style releases due. A pungent scent of Lynx Africa, Swizzel’s Drumstick lollies, and Play-Doh. Breathe it in. From emulation specialists M2 comes a re-release of the mech shooter Assault Suits Valken DECLASSIFIED (aka Cybernator) with new content, restored...

Remnant: From the Ashes, Atelier Ryza 3, Omen of Sorrow, Storyteller, and Have A Nice Death launch on Switch

Survival shooter Remnant: From the Ashes was a surprise hit for THQ Nordic, garnering positive reviews on PS4 and Xbox One. The Switch sees a conversion this week, with critics claiming that it holds up reasonably well, but the Switch’s shortcomings are more evident here than in other...

Bayonetta Origins, Trails to Azure, Vernal Edge, FUR Squadron, POST VOID, Flame Keeper, and Terminal Velocity hit the Switch

Reviews of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon went live a whole five days ahead of launch, showing a sign of confidence from Nintendo. The Metacritic score is currently sitting pretty at 80% – with dozens of reviews clocking in at 9/10 – but not everyone was smitten...

Paranormasight, Pronty, ONI : Road to be the Mightiest Oni, Fatal Frame, DC’s Justice League, and The Last Spell hit the Switch

If your plan to beat the cold snap is to settle with the Switch and a mug hot chocolate, then you’re in luck – there’s over a dozen intriguing new releases imminent on the eShop. You may have caught our Little Witch Nobeta review already. For the uninformed,...

Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star, Void Terrarium 2, BROK the InvestiGator, Meg’s Monster, and Lucy Dreaming hit the Switch

Back in my youth, I loved watching Fist of the North Star. There was just one problem – it was shown on Channel 4 in the early hours of either Friday or Saturday morning, meaning it was vital to remember to set the VCR. Back then, anime (or...

New on Switch: Octopath Traveler II, Redemption Reapers, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, Clive ‘N’ Wrench, and Ninja JaJaMaru

The majority of new Switch eShop releases for this week originate from Japan, making for a week full of eastern promises. From Nintendo themselves, there’s Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, a remake of the Wii million seller with amiibo support, four-player co-op, and an extra adventure starring Magolor....

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, Tales of Symphonia, Labyrinth of Galleria, Blanc, and Spy Bros. hit the Switch

If you’re able to tear yourself away from Metroid Prime Remastered – which could very well end up being one of the highest-rated games of the year – you’ll find another deluge of new releases on the Switch eShop this week. There are not one but two JRPGs...

Metroid Prime Remastered, Game Boy and GBA Games, WBSC eBASEBALL, and Prison Tycoon hit the Switch

How’s about that Nintendo Direct, eh? In addition to shadow-dropping Metroid Prime Remastered for £34.99 – with a physical release coming in a matter of weeks – and Konami’s WBSC eBASEBALL: POWER PROS, Game Boy/Game Boy Color and GBA games are also coming to NSO later today. You’ll need...

Life is Strange 2, SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake, The Pathless, Puzzle Bobble, PowerWash Simulator, and Trek to Yomi hit the Switch

It’s an exceedingly busy week for the Switch – several titles had to be left out of this piece’s headline, despite them being reasonably anticipated or looking promising. Incidentally, it appears that the eShop sees more shovelware than usual this week too, including a dubious (and rather blatant)...

Risen, Onion Assault, Startup Company, Oddballers, GoldenEye 007, and Wonder Boy Anniversary hit the Switch

While the Switch is missing out on EA’s Dead Space remake this week, it does gain two other new re-releases. Firstly, there’s the N64’s GoldenEye 007 – launching as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service, complete with online play – something the Xbox version lacks. Secondly, from...

Fire Emblem Engage, Persona 3 & 4, A Space For The Unbound, RE:CALL, NeverAwake, and Colossal Cave hit the Switch

If you’ve been keeping credit in your eShop wallet since Christmas, there’s a good chance you’ll want to splurge this week – there’s a slew of notable new releases. From Nintendo themselves, there’s Fire Emblem Engage, a strategic turn-based battler with summons and varied terrane. Reviews are now...

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider, Terror of Hemasaurus, Breakers Collection, and Children of Silentown hit the Switch

Given the time of year, the next two weeks are looking surprisingly busy for the Switch. With a first-party release on the agenda (Fire Emblem Engage) it’s doubtful anyone would disagree. This week is the quieter of the two – no major releases, but lots of intriguing indies....
