Nintendo Downloads – October 12, 2023 – News
Now that Batman is doing the Batusi in December, it’s good to know that we still have some heroes left – a whole company, actually.
Things we missed last week: Darius II in the Archives.
I had a whole slew of references to the goddamned Batman lined up for this week’s column, but then quality interceded to push those back to the end of November’s column. (Good.) Left scrambling to fill the spot, we’ll give the honour this week to Company of Heroes Collection as we try and find out if the Switch handles real time strategy as well as turn based. Also kicking off this week is the first licensed football game to actually feature future concussion sufferers Chris Henry, Patrick Mahomes, et al in Wild Card Football – as Neal reminded us last week on Connectivity, it has the NFLPA license, but not the actual NFL teams.
Serenity Forge – the madlads who got Doki Doki Literature Club+ running on Switch – are publishing a new RPG called Long Gone Days, which leads the indie rush alongside Day of the Devs star Saltsea Chronicles and a remastered version of DS horror shooter – talk about rare birds – Dementium: The Ward. For a certain level of indie, there’s also a re-imagining of River City Ransom up for grabs this week.
