If you were excited by last week’s eShop update and its inclusion of a demo for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, then you’re absolutely going to love this week’s update: it marks the release of the full Prince of Persia game! We’re huge fans of the Metroidvania-style platformer, so be sure to check it out if you want a look at the first big game of 2024.
Also worth checking out: Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, the sequel to the excellent Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Our review went live earlier this morning, but the short version is that it’s still an absolute blast to play.
