Life has been crazy lately, but that’s what videogames are for. To get us through tumult and inspire our imagination. This Nintendo Download isn’t the largest, but there’s still some quality games. Hell, there’s even mobile news, and that’s quite rare. Besides that, there’s the usual contenders, including featured titles, game sales and digital goodies. Let’s start with the casual title everybody seems to love.
It appears that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is officially celebrating Summer with the wave 2 update. It will add fireworks displays, dream islands and more to the popular entry. But thankfully that’s not all for featured titles. You can also race through the skies in Lost Wing or roll through perilous lands in Skully. Some pretty eclectic fare, for sure. Let’s continue with news from Dr. Mario World.
