Nintendo eShop Update – Breath of the Wild DLC, GoNNER, Bonk 3

So not a lot of huge releases this week for Nintendo, outside of the hotly anticipated first round of DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, dubbed The Master Trials, along with the unique looking GoNNER for the Switch. Check out the list of discounts and other releases shown below.

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
    • GoNNER ? GoNNER from Raw Fury and Art in Heart is a challenging, procedurally generated 2D platformer with roguelike elements. The game follows the largely misunderstood and altruistic Ikk on a journey to cheer up his only friend in this world ? a giant land-bound whale named Sally ? by searching for just the right trinket in the deep and dark places nearby.
  • Virtual Console on Wii U
    • BONK 3 Bonk?s Big Adventure ? It?s up to Bonk once again to thwart the plans of the evil King Drool in this TurboGrafx-16 platformer. There are seven rounds scattered throughout the Dinosaur Kingdom, each one filled with fun contraptions and comical enemies. Depending on the situation, you can change your size to bonk your way through a dead end or to get a hard-to-reach item. And if that?s not enough, you can grab a friend and put your heads together to defeat King Drool in the two-player mode.
    • Devil?s Crush ? In this TurboGrafx-16 pinball game, shoot the ball onto the board with the Devil Shooter, and then use flippers to rack up a high score. Complete certain conditions to play up to six different bonus stages. The game?s ominous theme is enhanced by its enemies: wandering skeleton knights, sorcerers and even a giant face that changes from a goddess to a sinister serpent.

New DLC:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ? Expansion Pass: The Master Trials (Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch or Wii U) ? More adventures await in the Master Trials pack, available June 30. By completing the Trial of the Sword challenge, Link will prove that he has grown worthy, and the Master Sword will be awakened to always be in its glowing, powered-up state while usable. Master Mode ups the challenge, Hero?s Path mode tracks 200 hours of footsteps on the map, the Travel Medallion creates a warp point, eight new armor items offer unique effects, and the Korok Mask helps locate Koroks. This content can only be obtained by purchasing the $19.99 Expansion Pass, which also includes The Champion?s Ballad, the second DLC Pack that will be available this holiday season. Full version of the game is required to use this DLC.
