This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:
- Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
- SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! – Team up with Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny to save the town in this co-op* action game. Customize your own New Kid and battle your way through the snow-piled streets of South Park solo or with up to three friends in an all-new story.

- Pepper Grinder – This action-packed, dig-venture platformer stars Pepper – a seafaring soul with a passion for prospecting. Armed with her trusty sidearm Grinder, Pepper burrows through terrain and water, controls machines and pulverizes enemies as she attempts to recover her missing fortune! Engage in puzzle platforming, battle bosses, power up with treasure and discover hidden levels. Pepper Grinder spins up on the Nintendo Switch system later today. Dig into this colorfully animated world with the free demo now available on Nintendo eShop!
- Open Roads – One fine fall day, Tess Devine and her mother Opal discover a cache of old notes and letters carefully stashed away in the attic of their house. Hints of deep-rooted family secrets, decades-old burglaries, a lost treasure somewhere near the Canadian border – what they uncover suggests a much darker mystery, best left well enough alone … but that’s not going to happen. Embark on a road trip adventure to explore a series of long-abandoned family properties, unearthing the past. They’ll search the ruins of these places that hold buried memories and discover not just the truth they’ve been seeking, but each other. Open Roads is available on Nintendo Switch later today.
- Digital Spotlight

I for one love cheesesteaks (Jackets, I’m ambivalent)...but I also want to visit Houston, Decisions,…
Sorry Mario, you’re not allowed out just yet, but Samus Returns…Ravenously
It’s one of those…”How has this not been done yet?” moments.
I’m glad this collab will only shrink my wallet and NOT expand my waistline.
