Nintendo Downloads – January 16, 2025 – News
There’s a remaster of an early 2010s classic, and also Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
Things we missed last week: Namco’s “Family Tennis” in its arcade Vs incarnation was the Archives release, and another release of Ys II in the EggConsole link. We also got a surprise release of roguelike dungeon crawler Overdungeon. Which is by Pocketpair. Yes, THAT Pocketpair, since to borrow a quote from the Discord, it’s the only Pocketpair game that isn’t in some form of Early Access.
The first part of 2025 is on a heater when it comes to remastered versions of RPGs, between Ys Oath in Felghana/Freedom Wars Remastered last week and now this week adding Tales of Graces F (which is itself a remake of an old Wii game). There’s also Donkey Kong Country Returns HD as Nintendo’s distant-second biggest re-release of the first quarter, and former Indie World game Blade Chimera from Playism as the smaller title of the week.
And apart from another Kairosoft joint and a decidedly NOT playable-in-English EggConsole release based on the eShop screenshots, that’s pretty much it.
