The Switch game onslaught doesn't even take the holidays off, it seems.
Another week, another sixteen games for the Switch for your eShopping pleasure. The bigger games of the bunch are still indie - no Bethesda/2K/Nintendo this week. The ones that have my personal attention are Superbeat: XONiC, which I've been playing for a review, and Adult Swim Games's debut on the Switch, Battle Chef Brigade which we loved this week.
In smaller titles, Stick it to the Man provides a nice tune-up for Flipping Death from the same developer, you can get your racing on (without lootboxes!) in Gear.Club Unlimited, and Portal Knights appears ready to drop as well. The retro front has future JP Corboran review project Soccer Brawl and Bomberman: Panic Bomber - a rare TG-CD puzzle game on Wii U that was originally slated to hit last week. The 3DS has a couple of meaty releases as well with River City: Rival Showdown and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.
Europe gets Poi: Explorer's Edition late (that should be physical there), while Japan has a bit of a big week with SteamWorld Dig 2 and the reason Zach has a Japanese Nintendo Account, Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura. Apparently it's a dating sim. It's also rated 17+ in Japan. You do the math.
