Nintendo Download: Return to the Kanto Region!

Pika! It’s a Pokemon kind of week on the Nintendo Download, with a pair of new releases. For those not Poke-fans, there’s the arrival of Civ VI.

Let’s Go!

If you’re a Pokemon devotee, then you’re probably in for a good weekend, since both Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go: Eevee! drop tomorrow. The two games take the series back to the Kanto Region for some old school-ish action, but also throws in something new. Both are compatible with a sold-separately Pokeball for on the go play.

Not everyone is into Pocket Monsters though. With that in mind, there’s also Civilization VI. The turn-based strategy series comes to Nintendo’s console with what looks like a pretty faithful port.

Additionally, this week also sees Warframe, Trine, UNO, and a few other retro “arcade” titles. Scroll on down for the full story.
