Nintendo Download: Ride of the Valkyria

It’s quite a week for RPG fans. The Switch gets Valkyria Chronicles 4, Xenoblade Chronicles: Torna, South Park, and FFXV: Pocket Edition.

This week might take some time

Yes, it could take you a while to play your way through all of the biggest offerings on the eShop this week. That’s because, as I noted above, this week has brought a lot of role-playing. And we all know those tend to take… a while.

Not that the RPG club is the only one to be found on Switch this week. There is some good stuff to be had from Cities Skylines to the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle. Scroll down for the full listing.
