Nintendo Downloads – June 22, 2023 – News
Next week is the ridiculous, this week is the sublime.
Things we missed last week: Taito’s Megablast in the Archives.
Another quiet week before all of the big releases drop next week to close out the calendar and fiscal quarter (as well as tragically the horse game), and I get to prep that list three timezones from home after attending the last high school graduation I’ll ever need to. As for this week, it’s another backlog battle with a couple of releases we’ll be tracking: Railway Empire 2 finally pulling into the Switch station, Nova Lands (fresh off TWO Summer Game Mess appearances), and action platformer Skautfold: Usurper. An RPG sequel that some of my friends will be into is Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2, and the tasteful award goes to Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine taking Puyo Puyo to the slaughterhouse.
And the sole retail release of the week (for now) is another Aksys joint that despite being developed by Nippon Columbia, comes out in Japan two weeks from now.
