Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze leads this week’s lineup of Nintendo eShop releases for the Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and Wii U.
Much to the relief of bank-balances everywhere it’s a reasonably quiet week on the Nintendo eShop, with a lineup heavy on older video games making their Switch debuts.
Highlights include a Switch version of the ageing, but excellent, puzzle-platformer, Nihilumbra. It’s joined by Infinite Slate’s reasonably enjoyable arcade game, Don’t Die, Mr. Robot.
The talented folks at Hamster also continue their good work with the Neo Geo equine racer, Stakes Winner, and an Arcade Archives outing for 10-Yard Fight.
This week also sees the latest Wii U port to arrive on the Nintendo Switch, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The game is an absolute delight, and one of the finest 2D platformers of the past decade. The new concessions to help players overcome its occasional difficulty spikes are most welcome. Well worth a double-dip.
Here is this week’s full Nintendo eShop lineup. As always, this list is subject to change, and we’ll add details of any additional games as soon we get them.
