Way up north in Alaska, the hunt is on - but could someone check on Zach?
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/48121/nintendo-downloads-august-27-2018
The retail space is well represented this week, as four different games pop into various shops on Tuesday (with Europe picking up a fifth in NISA's God Wars on Friday). The biggest of the guns is Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, with cat puns and monsters ahoy. Also coming is Zach GOTY Blade Strangers - though with SNK Heroines next week and Senran Kagura Reflexions in two, we might have to call a doctor for him - Victor Vran Overkill Edition, and the second incident of de Blob in two months.
The download space is headlined by the Ninja Gaiden-inspiredThe Messenger and Freedom Planet, which is the best pre-Mania Sonic title since at least 1994. (A late shadowdrop in the Nindies Showcase also brought potential GOTY candidate Into the Breach into view.) Speaking of retro, Football Frenzy gets you ready for the concussion and protest season in the Archives.
Japan gets fashionably late tennis, a couple of intriguing shooters, and World End Syndrome.
