Not only are we officially into the summer, today is a holiday in the United States, so there aren’t many new high-profile games arriving on the Switch this week. What this week’s update lacks in heavy hitters, however, it makes up for in terms of sheer volume, with dozens and dozens of new games.
Among the highlights: JRPG fans will want to check out The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak, SPY×ANYA: Operation Memories brings the anime series to life, and River Tails: Stronger Together is a fun-looking 3D platformer that’s gotten solid reviews on other platforms. Check out the full list below!
This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:
- Digital Spotlight
- A Dazzling Light Show! – Ready to catch some fireworks this Independence Day? Crank up the party with some luminous light shows available on the Nintendo Switch system! Invite family and friends, locally* or online**, to your island to light up some sparklers and enjoy the show alongside your island residents in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. If you aim to be the firestarter this holiday, grab a Fire Flower and set off some Babooms for a dazzling display in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game. Or, get a front-row seat to a glimmering spectacle by defeating RoboBrood with a glorious bang in the Super Mario Odyssey game!
Pre-orders:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate – The heroic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need to fend off the Foot Clan in their first roguelike adventure by travelling through reality-bending portals to rescue their kidnapped master, Splinter.
