This week, the Nintendo Download has only two featured games, but it makes up for that in the second half!
Featured Games
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cloud Version arrives on the Switch on October 26th.
“Fire up Star-Lord’s jet boots for a wild ride across the cosmos in this third-person action-adventure game, a fresh take on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. With the unpredictable Guardians at your side, blast your way from one explosive situation to another, with original and iconic Marvel characters caught in a struggle for the fate of the universe. You got this. Probably.”
We also have the fast-paced action rogue-lite, Skul: The Hero Slayer, releasing on October 21st. It includes 100 playable characters with unique abilities and a huge pile of items.
Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo is also highlighting the new higher Switch Online subscription tier, otherwise known by the strange name “Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack”. The Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games will be available to play starting on October 25th.
