Nintendo Downloads - January 18, 2018

On a full house of a day, it's a fuller house of games.

In the North American shops this week, Nintendo really wants you to think that the big game is the 3DS retail release du jour in Kirby: Battle Royale. But we all know the truth: The ability to absorb a foe in a single inhale is insignificant next to the power of Cthulhu. Hencem the big winner this week is Darkest Dungeon, launching on Switch with hopefully readable text in handheld mode.

Other items of interest this week: Gunhouse, the fever dream that comes by no less than two regular panelists on the defunct podcast Insert Credit, dropped on Monday, while World to the West brings its unique take on adventuring to the Switch today. A note that Baseball Riot is not a sports game, despite the title. I know, I'm disappointed myself. In the retro arena, Power Spike II fills the sports niche, while after a few weeks delay Double Dragon is now punching its way into the Archives.

Europe's lineup, barring Kirby, is largely identical. The oddities are in Japan with 2018's 2017 Game of the Year candidate Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and a rollup of the three Mercenaries Saga games (two of which are regulars on the sales list in North America thanks to Circle).
