Nintendo Download: Chase Battles Anytime, Anywhere!

This week’s Nintendo Download is pretty solid. The Switch release of Battle Chasers: Nightwar leading the way, but it’s not alone. You’ll also find Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux for the 3DS, Immortal Redneck, and more.

Nightwar

I’ve been waiting for Battle Chasers on the Switch for a while. The game just seems like something that’d be perfect to play on Nintendo’s console, with its turn-based RPG battle system. Plus, with it basically being a JRPG, having the ability to play it on the go is probably the only way I stand a chance to beat it.

Honestly, I’m pretty pumped for Immortal Redneck too however. The rogue “lite” shooter was reviewed here on BG a while back, and I never got the chance to pick it up.

Other than those two, this week also sees the return of the weekly Neo Geo title in Super Sidekicks, the Arcade Archives shump Terra Cresta, The Fall, and much more. Scroll down for the full look.
