Well guys and gals, this is both an unremarkable and kinda unique Nintendo Download. It’s unremarkable in that it’s just your weekly article. It’s unique in that it’s my last Nintendo Download. The good news is, someone who cares for Nintendo games just as much as myself is taking over after this week, and I’m confident he’ll do it justice. But in the meantime, let’s go out with a bang, shall we?
The featured games for this week are really eclectic, and that’s how I like them. Two of them I was somewhat familiar with and the other is a total curve ball. First up is Gleamlight, a cool platformer with a stained glass aesthetic. The game tells its tale without an overarching narrative or any hand holding, which is kind of neat. Next is a puzzle platformer called INMOST. It features a monstrous shadow, a knight, multiple playable characters and a nightmare landscape. Lastly is the odd ball. It’s a game based off a BBC show, and it’s called Peaky Blinders: Mastermind. Unlike most British TV, it also has you directly manipulating the flow of time. So that’s interesting. Next up is a new mobile event.
Fight for Honor! – Newly added Heroes have joined the battle in the Fire Emblem Heroes game. Edelgard, Dimitri, Lysithea and Claude from Fire Emblem: Three Houses are the winners of January’s Choose Your Legends: Round 4 event and are available now in Fire Emblem Heroes in special outfits. Players can even choose one of these four Heroes to summon at 5-star for free!
