Nintendo eShop new releases (week 43)
Posted 29 Oct 2021 at 06:13 by Dennis Tummers
Mario Party Superstars brings some old school party fun to the Nintendo Switch. The boards in this new Mario Party are based on the classic boards from the N64 games. The minigames also hail from the past, so it's out with motion controls; all minigames are button input in this version. Online play is supported as well.
Right in time for Halloween, Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water gets ported over to Nintendo's newest system. Originally released on the WiiU, you can now experience this horror game in the Project Zero/Fatal Frame series on the Nintendo Switch.
As always the full list of new releases, DLC and demos can be found below, after the highlights.

| Lucid Cycle (eastasiasoft) | Game - Digital Only | 27/10/2021 00:00 LT |
| Description from publisher: Sleep has the power to transport us to wonderfully enigmatic places, sometimes frightening and often unexpected. Lucid Cycle is an exploration of the concepts and experiences common to our dreams, whether it’s solving environmental puzzles without a clear purpose or journeying through a shifting landscape without knowing the final destination. Sometimes we might find ourselves in familiar places with unfamiliar circumstances or vice versa, but is there a greater meaning behind it all? Presented in a first-person perspective, Lucid Cycle casts you as the dreamer, exploring a series of short yet vivid scenarios. Make sense of each to transport yourself to the next scene. You may need to locate a hidden object, leap across platforms suspended in space or retrace your steps to find your way forward. None of these vignettes are the same, but they’re all paint on the same tapestry. | ||
