I know I’ve called previous Nintendo Download articles short, but this one really is. Sure, there’s a couple featured titles, but not much else. So I won’t waste time meandering, let’s just get started.

Nintendo Download | Linn Path of Orchards

Both of today’s featured games are very unusual. They’re just not the sort of games that Nintendo typically highlights. First up is Faeria. It’s a strategic board game that features both cards and a grid to play on. It also has attractive visual style and a massive single player campaign. The other game is Linn: Path of Orchards. It’s a puzzle platformer that reminds me of both GRIS and Celeste. Which is actually pretty cool. Next up, let’s continue the Nintendo Download with some sales.
