Nintendo Downloads – June 6, 2024 – News

Things we missed last week: After a bunch of Valis bumps and something called “Gran Carismo” Konami’s 1989 puzzle game Cue Brick hit the Archives.

It’s Summer Game Mess season, aka The Summer Of Too Hot For Game Announcements, as we await word on a Nintendo Direct. (Nintendo, if you don’t keep the same slot of the last two years, we will be having WORDS.) And you can tell it’s a bad week since the release list is a) light and b) headlined by a free to play redshirt simulator from the company what brought you the death of console gaming in the early 2010s. (Allegedly.) So in terms of things that are actually worth downloading even with some upfront cost, I guess we’ll go with the latest from yeo (The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, Arrest of a Stone Buddha) in Fading Afternoon.

Other things of note: Democracy is apparently alive on Switch (a nice change from all of the eShop anarchy), a romance novel in Seven Days where all of the romance options are one personality of a girl, and a 7.5 action game (I’m guessing, it’s from a THQ Nordic imprint) in Airhead. Lastly, Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge has “out now in the Wholesome Direct” written all over it.
