Nintendo Download for 1/21/2021

It’s that time of the week again, so the next Nintendo Download is here with two featured titles. The sales scene is pretty bare since the New Year Sale ended this evening, but we do have new eShop titles to look over as always.

Featured Games

HITMAN 3 – Cloud Version (free-to-play) sees the return of Agent 47 in the conclusion of the trilogy. Set out on a globetrotting adventure filled with darkness, but hope remains in spite of the forces that stand against it. Explore a world filled with player choice as you strike from the shadows.

In Cyber Shadow ($14.99 | $19.99), the world finds itself oppressed beneath the rule of synthetic lifeforms. The unfolding events set Shadow on a path to uncover what started it all. He’ll have to cut and slash his way through the enemy techno hordes while avoiding traps in the ruins of the once great Mekacity. Along the way, Shadow will unlock the secrets to his clan’s powers in this retro-styled Ninja action game. Cyber Shadow is set to launch on Nintendo Switch early next week.

Current Sales

In this week’s Nintendo Download, the sales scene is pretty empty, since The New Year Sale we covered last week is ending as I’m writing this article. However, you can still look for small deals on Nintendo’s sales page. There are always lots of small ones sprinkled around the eShop.
