Nintendo Downloads - January 4, 2018
« on: January 04, 2018, 01:06:00 AM »

The first downloads of 2018 feel a lot like 2016.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/46134/nintendo-downloads-january-4-2018

On the second week of Nintendo's holiday release break - before normal service resumes next week - we've got a very light slate. The biggest Switch release for North America this week already dropped last week in Europe, in the form of Stikbold: A Dodgeball Adventure. Always remember to dodge, dip, dive, duck, and, uh, dodge. We've got a 3DS game this week, even if it doesn't unlock for a couple of weeks, as Kirby Battle Royale one-ups this month's Royal Rumble by offering more than 30 powers for your amusement. There's also a demo now if you need additional convincing.

The retro front is greeted with an old Wii U title (Grand Prix Rock 'N Racing) and some classic NeoGeo as Hamster continues their march to 800 games in the current gen with King of the Monsters. If you already blasted through Picross e8 on the 3DS, then Lightwood also comes through with Pic-a-Pix Deluxe (demo already available).

Europe's releases are already mentioned barring shock Wii U or 3DS stuff, while Japan's Switch added... one... release. But everyone probably saved their money for the Dome last night, right Bryan?
