Nintendo Downloads – November 16, 2023 – News
In honour of this week’s big two releases, I wished upon a star that someone would steal Joanne’s heart only to discover she ain’t got one.
Things we missed last week: A really busy week on that front with the headliners being Risk of Rain Returns (remaster of the strategy hit) and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, plus Konami’s early brawler Shao-lin’s Road as the Archives release.
There are of course, two major things that are not only fighting for my time as I take my last vacation of the year next week, but also the honor of the picture slot – so we’ll settle it in Smash between Persona 5 Tactica and Super Mario RPG. Though thankfully, one should be short enough that I can dive right into the other if I’m not neck deep in a major video project for the entire week. This is one of the biggest known retail release weeks of the year though, with the coattails bringing along a Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm game, a Bluey game for the parents of young children in the crowd (hi Neal!) and a Konami-focused rhythm game that had a cameo in the last Direct. Of course, in Japan this week Konami will also be publishing the sequel to the best-selling third party game on the Switch and I’m not joking.
Life sim Spirittea is kicking off the week from No More Robots – and in the process bringing the release count for the year over last year’s already-obscene 2086, though I suppose we could kick that can to Tuesday given the removal of a certain copyright-violating racing “game” from one of the asset flippers. Lastly, we have another new property from Inti Creates in Yohane the Parhelion, and if that gets dinged for trademark infringement like their last game did they need to retain better lawyers.
