Nintendo eShop Update: Dungeons of Dreadrock 2, Crown Wars: The Black Prince

With the rest of our staff engaged in turkey-related mischief for U.S. Thanksgiving, it falls on me, the site’s resident Canadian, to share the news of what’s arriving on the Switch this week. And…well, there’s not much, seeing as Thanksgiving usually marks the end of high-profile releases and the start of year-end list season.

But that’s not to say there’s nothing of value arriving on the Switch this week! Dungeons of Dreadrock 2, for example, is the successor to a very good puzzle-based dungeon-crawler. There’s also Crown Wars: The Black Prince, a solid (if unspectacular) tactical RPG with a medieval theme that won a few fans following its release on Steam earlier this year.

Check out the full list below!

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

• Game Boy – Nintendo Switch Online
  • Before Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong barrel-blast their way to adventure in the Donkey Kong Country Returns HD game – launching on the Nintendo Switch system Jan. 16 – get back into the swing of things with a classic pair of Donkey Kong Land games, available now for players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership*.
    • Donkey Kong Land – Join Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as they attempt to thwart K. Rool and his crew across more than 30 levels swarming with enemies. Help the duo reclaim their banana hoard and explore a mysterious pirate ship, trudge through fierce snow, swim in an aquatic temple and even ascend some big city architecture!
    • Donkey Kong Land 2 – K. Rool is up to no good again, and now it’s Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong’s turn to save the day. Tackle over 40 levels with Diddy Kong’s Cartwheel, Dixie’s Helicopter Spin and a wild assortment of friendly animals – all to rescue Donkey Kong from the clawed clutches of K. Rool!
• SEGA Genesis – Nintendo Switch Online
  • Dig into some funky fun with these three action-packed SEGA Genesis games, available now for players with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership*.
    • ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron – ToeJam and Earl have successfully returned to their home planet, Funkotron, but now they’re being invaded by not-so-groovy Earthlings! Find all the Earthlings and send them back once you reach the goal. There’s no shortage of funkiness as you explore the action-packed, side-scrolling stages with the iconic duo.
    • VectorMan – Play as the robot VectorMan in this action game, which featured some seriously fluid animations circa 1995! Earth’s environmental cleanup drones – the Orbots – have rebelled and VectorMan is humanity’s last hope. Can this former sludge barge pilot pull the plug on the machinations of these villainous machines?
    • WOLF OF THE BATTLEFIELD: MERCS – Play as the mercenary group Wolf Force as they defeat swarms of enemies in the seven-mission Arcade Mode and the eight-mission Original Mode. Push through the enemy’s non-stop barrage as five different soldiers, each with their own abilities.
• Digital Spotlight
  • Gobble Up Some Fun – Enjoy the holiday with loved ones near and far with these games on Nintendo Switch. Join the jamboree with friends and family** in Super Mario Party Jamboree – the biggest Mario Party yet that’s stuffed with over 110 minigames to play! Work up your appetite and get moving with up to four players in WarioWare: Move It! with its collection of motion-based***, lightning-fast microgames, or race right to dessert with Kirby’s Dream Buffet alongside the adorable pink puffball! Looking to add some Nintendo themed ambiance to your festivities? Nintendo Switch Online members can set the tempo with the new Nintendo Music app for smart devices!
