New releases and eShop discounts (week 14)
Posted 02 Apr 2020 at 12:22 by Dennis Tummers
As the cherry blossom flowers, Nintendo kicks of spring with a Spring Sale. Over 300 games are discounted, with discounts up to 80%. A highlight of the Sale can be found below. If you want the full list, head over to Nintendo's eShop page.
Naturally there are also some new games releasing this week. If weird is your thing, why not check out WayForward's shoot-em-up Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse-Bouche, which mixes the genre with other gameplay elements such as RPG and rhythm. In In Other Waters you take on the role of an AI assistant and you need to guide a xenobiologist through dangerous waters using a computer interface.
As always the full list of new games can be found on the bottom of this article, after the highlights for this week's new releases, pre-downloads and sales.
