This week’s Nintendo Download includes five featured titles, including the brand new PAC-MAN 99.
Featured Games
Nintendo’s bizarre removal of Super Mario Bros. 35 makes a lot more sense now with the sudden launch of PAC-MAN 99. Jump into a PAC-MAN battle royal and fight to be the PAC-ONE, the last one standing. The game is available for free for those with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Cozy Grove ($13.49 | $14.99) is a life-sim where you camp on a haunted island that is constantly changing! You are a Spirit Scout wandering the forest, crafting to restore the island, helping ghosts, and discovering the island’s secrets.
DON’T GIVE UP: A Cynical Tale ($8.49 | $9.99) is an RPG that pits you against your own inner demons. Tris is trying his best to make it as an indie developer, after having a mental breakdown and moving to a new city. Unfortunately, his inner demons have popped up once again, and this time they’re out to conquer more than just him. Can he overcome his personal demons before they lead to self-destruction?
Say No! More ($13.49 | $14.99) takes place in a world where everyone are yes men, because it’s the status quo. Create your own custom character, and step into the shoes of an intern who finds themselves on a crusade to make the world better by learning to say “No!”. The comical game also sports a late-90s style.
The last featured title in this Nintendo Download, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ($59.99), is also launching on April 9th. It is the long-awaited final chapter of the Trails of Cold Steel RPG series. The Erebonian Empire mobilizes its military might and the continent of Zemuria is thrown into chaos. The heroes of Class VII must jump into action to stop the continent from being consumed by the flames of war!
