New releases and eShop discounts (week 33)
Posted 15 Aug 2019 at 23:00 by Dennis Tummers
Once again the Nintendo eShop has been filled with a bunch of new games. What to think of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, an eerie puzzle-adventure game where you explore an open world and investigate the deaths of several members of the Carter family.
On the other end of the spectrum we have PC Building Simulator, where you can build the PC of your dreams using licensed parts of several computer brands. There is also a single player game where you run a repair shop and an extensive tutorial on building your own PC.
RPG fans can rejoice as GRANDIA HD Collection is out this week, which includes updated versions of Sega Saturn's Grandia and Sega Dreamcast's Grandia 2. Both English and Japanese audiotracks are available in the games.
As always, you can find the full list of new releases, sales and DLC in the tables below!
