Nintendo Downloads – October 5, 2023 – News
Maybe the return of Detective Pikachu means we’ll be able to find the Nintendo Seal of Quality.
Things we missed last week: We were one last second delay in North America (Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong delaying to December) from setting a new record for releases in the region. As it was, we still tied the record at 67.
After we thought it was dead for several years, Detective Pikachu Returns (still sans Danny DeVito, but he’s best voicing Groudon since he makes it always sunny) this Friday with more video than actual official gameplay screenshots released by Nintendo or TPC. Interesting maneuver Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them. It’s a busy week for RPGs and the RPG-adjacent anyway, with Silent Hope, Disgaea 7 (now with less autoplay) and against all logic or demand Borderlands 3 is joining the rest of its trilogy.
Given last week’s gongshow I’m going to hunker down with the hat rat, but you also might be down for Front Mission 2 (allegedly), Direct star Wargroove 2, or the second game in the Dark Pictures series.
