Nintendo Downloads – June 27, 2024 – News
With visual novels, “spooky” remakes, and Super (Game) Monkey Ball it’s a busy end of quarter.
Things we missed last week: Wait, they held a Nintendo Direct and only shadowdropped one game (Metal Slug Attack Reloaded) plus the NSO Bethesda’s Fault app? Pretty sure that’s a record. Also, Rastan Saga II: Mythological Boogaloo in the Archives.
The last week of the quarter is always a busy one, especially when a Nintendo game (Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD) draws in, but there is some original software coming out as well. The presence of its DLC suggests that Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania may in fact have a claim to being the Sega Super Game, while the book club gets a couple of meetings with Radiant Tale: Fanfare (the fandisc for 2023’s circus-themed romance that I still have to read through) and the latest true novel in the Type Moon universe (Tsukihime) finally coming west. Although it’s not listed on the eShop, we can also expect the 20th (or 21st) anniversary edition of Beyond Good and Evil as well.
Less pricey but not any less important are the Switch port of Tchia, the beloved indie exploration game set around New Caledonia and new!Atari reviving Super Sprint with the new Neo Sprint. The EggConsole is getting out of the action/RPG area for a bit with Topple Zip, which has elements of the shooter and the racing game.
