This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch:
    • Stumble Guys – Are you ready to enter the running chaos as you run, stumble and fall against up to 32 players? Battle through knockout rounds of races, survival elimination and team play across different maps, levels and game modes. Survive the fun multiplayer chaos and cross the finish line before your friends do to qualify for the next round, earning fun rewards and stars as you continue to play and win! Stumble Guys is available now.

Demos:

  • Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club – The second installment in the episodic demo* of the Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club game approaches! A student has been found dead, his head covered with a paper bag with an eerie smile drawn onto it. This scene is much like the victims of Emio, the Smiling Man—a killer of urban legend who is said to grant his victims “a smile that will last forever.” Play as an assistant private investigator from the Utsugi Detective Agency tasked with helping the police uncover the truth behind this heinous crime, which is reminiscent of a series of unsolved murders from 18 years ago. Begin your investigation in Chapter 1 of the demo and resume when Chapter 2 launches later today on Nintendo eShop, followed by Chapter 3 on the evening of Aug. 27. Don’t worry about losing your case notes – players can carry their progress forward to the full version of the game if purchased. Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club launches on Aug. 29.
