Nintendo eShop new releases (week 28)
Posted 15 Jul 2021 at 13:37 by Dennis Tummers
Week 28 will go into the books as a relatively quiet week concerning new game releases. The obvious heavy hitter is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. The origin story of the Zelda franchise makes the jump from the Wii to the Switch. This HD version features improved HD graphics and runs on 60 frames. A whole bunch of quality-of-life improvements have been implemented as well to streamline your journey, and button controls are available as well, next to motion control.
The Highlights video for June can also be enjoyed below, and showcases a bunch of eShop titles that released this month such as Alba, Overboard! and more. You can find the video below, as well as this week's highlights and the full list of new releases, DLC and demos.

| Description from publisher: Fates of Ort is a retro fantasy RPG focused on strategic action, in a land where time is frozen when you stand still. Cast powerful spells - but beware, they will cost you your life. Magic is powerful, but it is not free. Every spell you cast requires a little bit of your life energy to spark it. Cast enough spells and you will extinguish your very soul. This means you need to be strategic when fighting, balancing the cost of magic with the risk of taking damage from your enemies. | ||
