Nintendo eShop Update – The Touryst, Black Future ?88, Chameleon, Pine


After the massive Pokemon Sword and Shield launch last week, this week’s Nintendo eShop Update seems a little more subdued… by a little bit.

New digital titles include The Touryst, Black Future ?88, Chameleon, Pine, Monster Jam Steel Titans a demo of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (our review here) and more than a dozen others.

See the full list below, and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here.

This week?s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:
  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
    • The Touryst ? In this surreal adventure game, your idyllic vacation is about to get very strange. Choices abound when arriving at the Monument Islands. Want to go swimming? Or take a dive into the deep sea? Or would you rather visit the amusement arcade, do some shopping and dance at a beach party? Or will you talk with the enigmatic old tourist and listen to what he has to say about these ancient mysterious monuments?
    • Black Future ?88 ? Black Future ?88 is a synth-punk roguelike 2D action shooter. Vertically climb an always-evolving, procedural tower to reach the top and destroy its owner before your heart explodes. Shoot, slash, dash and upgrade yourself to survive the endless waves of deadly traps, hostile AI and colossal Wardens standing in your way in a stylish alternative version of 1988
  • Nintendo Mobile
    • ?Tis the Season to Put Your Keys in the Ignition ? A beautiful blanket of snow has descended in the Mario Kart Tour game* during the special Winter Tour event, which runs until Dec. 3. Mario looks quite jolly in his Santa suit while staying warm with a Fire Flower. Meanwhile, Pink Gold Peach spreads some wintertime joy as she speeds past sparkling decorations. Additionally, with a new update, players can now drive with a dedicated ?Drift? button now added in Automatic Drift mode, and a ?Steer? button added in Manual Drift mode, there?s never been a better time to join the race!
