Nintendo eShop new releases (week 40)
Posted 08 Oct 2021 at 12:31 by Dennis Tummers
Where to start? Well, with Metroid Dread of course. 19 Years after Metroid Fusion, the story of Samus and the Metroids is about to wrap up. Expect a superb Metroidvania, with a smooth-moving Samus and plenty of unlockables and secrets to find on planet ZDR.
But there is more. With Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania SEGA brings back the first two Monkey Ball titles (and more), in a remastered version. Tetris Effect: Connected gives us a spectacular take on the classic game, both in graphics and in sound. Meanwhile, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl brings Smash Bros. style action to the system, but with all your Nickelodeon favourites such as CatDog, Spongebob and Nigel Thornberry!
As always the full list of new releases, DLC and demos can be found below, after the highlights.
