This week eShop update is a great one for fans of indie games. Little Kitty, Big City follows in the footsteps of games like Untitled Goose Game by allowing you to play as a rambunctious cat causing chaos in the eponymous city. There’s also Animal Well, a creepy-looking Metroidvania that’s getting a lot of attention.
And, of course, there’s one of the all-time indie classics, Braid, which returns this week as Braid Anniversay Edition. That game helped kickstart the indie explosion when it came out over a decade ago, and it returns this week with updated visuals and interviews with Jonathan Blow and other members of the creative team.
See the full list of new games below!
This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:
- Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
- Little Kitty, Big City – A peaceful catnap turns into a whimsical journey as you take the role of a curious kitten on an adorable adventure to find your way back home. There’s plenty to do along the way: explore the vibrant city, complete quests, lend a helping paw to other animals in hairy situations and make friends with chatty strays. You can also wear over 40 delightful hats while causing a total ruckus in a bite-sized open-world playground filled with surprises. Little Kitty, Big City releases today on the Nintendo Switch system.
- ANIMAL WELL – In this atmospheric pixelated world, you’ll search for treasures as you gradually uncover a dense environment. Many interesting creatures live here, but some might be hostile, so stay alert. Any items you’ve picked up can be used in several ways, like making a quick getaway or even having friendly creatures help you out in a pinch. There’s a lot to uncover, so get crafty with your items and see what you find. Where you go is entirely up to you. Summon your courage and curiosity for ANIMAL WELL, launching today!
