Nintendo Downloads – December 21, 2023 – News
Apparently eShop developers believe in the power of last-minute holiday shopping.
Things we missed last week: Potion Craft (as featured in the House of Indies event from this time last year) dropped on Tuesday, and Aero Fighters was the Archives release.
Europe has what may be a sane release week – and they are the only ones, as both North America and especially Japan have 40+ games this week. (Japan at least has the excuse of the forthcoming New Year’s holiday meaning that at least right now, they don’t have anything on the list until January 11.) The terraforming simulator Terra Nil looks to be the big game of the week, but we still don’t have confirmed pricing anywhere as of yet. Apart from that, there’s a couple of Humongous Entertainment games on the menu, alongside another one of those games that breaks the standard $60 price barrier for a download-only game that doesn’t even have the excuse of Tears of the Kingdom’s file size.
A couple of odd titles also await this week with versions of Hydlide (the poor bastards) and Silpheed, alongside a “plus” version of older indie fighting game The Rumble Fish. And of course, we mentioned the House of Indies, and nothing’s stopping Nintendo from dropping another one this year.
But that said, if you’re celebrating anything this week, have fun, and we’ll reconvene for the final overly long list of the year next week.
