Craig Majaski 0 Comments , , , , , , , ,

Over 20 new games are coming to the various Nintendo eShops between today and next Tuesday. It’s getting hard to keep up with all of the new releases! Some of the standouts include:

Crypt of the Necrodancer: Nintendo Switch Edition is a dungeon crawling game where you move and fight using rhythm. The game supports up two players in local co-op and with randomly generated dungeons this one has captivated many people on PC.

Dandara is a 2D platformer where you defy gravity by walking on walls and ceilings. We have received a review copy and will have our full impressions next week. It launches on February 6.

Night in the Woods is the critically acclaimed adventure game that’s focused on exploration, story, and characters. The game tackles various social issues and is finally on the Nintendo Switch.

Are you into Japanese RPGs? Do you own a Nintendo 3DS? Well, good news! Atlus is releasing a free demo for its upcoming Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology game. Take a spin with Stocke and his crew and see how it’s shaping up.

One of the best indie games on the Nintendo Switch last year was SteamWorld Dig 2. Now you can see where it all began with the original SteamWorld Dig, now available on the Switch!
