Nintendo Download: Ready for Adventure!

The long awaited Octopath Traveller arrives for the Switch this week, and it brings the port of Captain Toad along for the adventure.

Summertime adventures

Is there anything better than whiling away the summertime hours with a good RPG? I don’t think so, and it’s especially true when it’s a gem like Octopath Traveller. OT is an RPG fashioned firmly in the iconic JRPG mold. In fact, it’s what I’d call a true evolution of a classic like the SNES’ Final Fantasy III. It’s awesome. And if you don’t believe me, you can download a meaty demo for it right now and try before you buy. Seriously, if I had more time to play it I’d be buying this.

Other than Octopath Traveller though, there isn’t much this week. There’s Captain Toad, though it’s basically the same game that you probably played already on the Wii U, and not much else. Oh, yeah… there’s Fortnight Season 5. If you’re into that.

Have a peek:
