Nintendo Downloads – September 26, 2024 – News
We may no longer have to make the choice between “original Zelda Switch game” and “good Zelda Switch game”.
Things we missed last week: A new Touhou RPG (Touhou Gensou Wanderer -Foresight-) and Taito’s Crime City in the Archives.
I would make a transition from crime here, but this would be the one week anyone else reads the article, so I’ll just say that we have an original Legend of Zelda game this week which is the headliner anytime, And then you add in freedom of movement AND actually getting to control the title character? If the Switch is going out in the next year, at least it’s going out with a bang seemingly. We’ll find out for sure Thursday. Also on the major releases: EA’s second kick at the non-Mafia fueled soccer/football can with EA Sports FC 25, and a certain Wii game from 2010 and a company that needs breaking up tries to see if it can beat the “Eh-pic Meh-key” allegations. We’ll find out shortly.
But that’s not all. NIS America and FuRyu are dropping a game I might be required by law to buy because of World Ends With You crossovers in Reynatis (check a look at Jordan L’s review), and our premium-grade kusoge comes in two flavors this week with a GameMill game that somehow copped a Direct slot in Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports and an Earth Defence Force localization (World Brothers 2). There’s also a Digital Eclipse-developed remake of Worms: Armageddon on the docket, and the Yogscast is still going at it with The Holy Gosh Darn. No EggConsole yet this week, but the retro front is brought up with the third Jalecolle game. Add in another advent calendar (IT’S SEPTEMBER FFS) and Peter Molyneux’s Ballz and that’s a typical eShop week.
