Nintendo eShop Update: Manic Mechanics, Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg

Paul Bryant09 mins

The star of this week’s eShop update is undoubtedly Manic Mechanics. It’s an auto-themed spin on the Overcooked-style multiplayer formula created by 4J Studios, who have spent the last decade-plus porting Minecraft to every console under the sun. It’ll be fun (for us as players, and for them as developers) to see what they do with something that doesn’t involve crafting and creepers.

Also hitting the Switch this week, we have Death or Treat, a roguelite take on metroidvanias, and Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg, which brings the very first game in the long-running Atelier series to the Switch a decade and a half after it was first released on the original PlayStation.

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

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
    • Manic Mechanics – In this chaotic co-op game, you and up to three friends* are cast as travelling mechanics who must repair vehicles quickly to earn points and work your way through the town of Octane Isle. Repair as many cars, trucks, choppers (and tractors, mini-subs and UFOs …) as possible before the timer runs out. The faster you work, the more chaos you’ll unleash – fuel spills, exploding tires, short-circuiting robots, stampeding cows and even alien abductions. Get your crew in the shop when Manic Mechanics launches on the Nintendo Switch system today!
  • Digital Spotlight
    • Games that are Simply Peach-y – July is National Peach Month, and what better way to spend it than with the Mushroom Kingdom princess herself?
