New releases and eShop discounts (week 39)
Posted 24 Sep 2020 at 13:40 by Dennis Tummers
It's week 39, and Nintendo again surprises us with a new title out of the blue. Kirby Fighters 2 is out now, and brings some Kirby-themed brawling to the Nintendo Switch. Choose your favourite ability and get cracking, alone or with local or online friends.
After the acquisition of Psyonix, Epic Games is now changing Rocket League from a paid game to a free-to-play one. If you haven't played this popular football-meets-racing eSports title, you may as well give it a whirl for free.
If you are looking for a sale, a number of the Final Fantasy titles are discounted. Start an epic adventure like Final Fantasy VII, X & X-2 or XII with a 50% discount.
As always you can find the full list of new releases, demos and DLC below!
