New releases and eShop discounts (week 21)
Posted 22 May 2020 at 06:48 by Dennis Tummers
Week 21 is a wonderful week, as Platinum's The Wonderful 101: Remastered makes it onto the Switch. Thanks to a succesful Kickstarter campaign this is the first title that PlatinumGames can launch on their own.
If you like to hit the greens this is a good week as well, as not one but two golf games hit the eShop. Team17's Golf With Your Friends focuses on simultaneous multiplayer for up to 12 players. WHAT THE GOLF? plays a whacky game of golf, and parodies on titles such as Portal and Guitar Hero.
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.
