Nintendo Download: Investigate the Clues and Uncover Nintendo History

Lots of games arriving this week in the Nintendo Download, though really no ‘must plays’. Though there is a calculator app, if you’re into that.

Famicom detective

This week’s headline titles for Nintendo gamers? Two Famicom Detective Club titles, two versions of Subnautica, and Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield. Yeah, it’s not a big week, and the list of smaller releases mirror that as well.
