This week?s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

    • The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics ? Lead a fledgling resistance of Gelfling against their oppressive overlords, the Skeksis, across more than 50 unique, turn-based tactics RPG battles. Along the way, you will recruit and customize new allies by assigning them jobs, modifying their abilities and outfitting them with equipment to ensure victory. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics will be available on Feb. 4.
    • Skellboy ? Life was peaceful in the Cubold Kingdom until the king?s evil court magician got dumped by the princess.
