Nintendo Download: Speak of the Devil

Yes, it’s finally Diablo III time for Nintendo Switch owners. The fantasy aRPG arrives in the eShop this week, along with plenty more.

Sympathy for the devil

The Switch might be the last of the current crop of consoles to get a version of Blizzard’s Diablo III, but it also might have the coolest edition. Not only do you get the base game and expansions, but you’ll also find some Nintendo-centric content. That would be the Gannondorf armor set. So you can all but play as the legendary Zelda villain.

While that’s clearly the top dog this week, Nintendo fans can also look forward to playing a bunch of other titles. Also launching this coming week will be the Pokemon: Let’s Go games, Machinarium, Rogue Legacy, Transistor, and more.

All in all, a pretty good week for Switch owners.
