Nintendo Download: Sora Joins the Ranks of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

A big week for fans of Super Smash Bros Ultimate arrives, as the game gets its last DLC fighter in the form of Kingdom Hearts’ Keyblade-wielding Sora.

The keymaster

It’s a weird week in Nintendo-land. On the one hand it’s kind of a big one, since Sora closes out Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and Dying Light brings a little Halloween horror. On the other though, there flatly isn’t much that’s all that interesting. There’s a lot of stuff as usual, but almost all of it is very far from being ‘can’t miss’.

There’s the latest JackBox Party Pack, which is fun if you get together with friends a lot. And then there’s the Subnautica double-pack, so if you missed out on those games you can get two for one. But in terms of notables, that’s about it.

Take a look at the full list and see if anything else speaks to you.
