Nintendo Download: Gnarvana Awaits!

A big week on the Download brings OlliOlli World to the Nintendo Switch, alongside the cloud version of Dying Light 2: Stay Human and much more.

Dying to shred

So here’s an update for you on this one – Switch isn’t getting Dying Light 2 this week. Actually, while the game is out now on other consoles and the PC, we don’t know when it’ll be coming out for Nintendo’s box. So take that one out of the equation.

What’s the biggest game this week on Nintendo’s Switch? Well, I’d have to go with Dying Light 2: Stay Human, but Nintendo has spotlighted OlliOlli World. But while I mean no disrespect to the skateboard, DL2 is a possible blockbuster.

The followup to the incredibly long-legged Dying Light, Techland’s sequel ups the ante in just about every way. There’s more to do, a bigger world to do it all in, and some fantastic looking graphics on top. Now, there is a caveat specific to the Switch version however, in that it’s a “cloud” game.

That means you’ll be streaming it to your console, and will need a stable (and good) internet connection to play. But if you’ve got that, and don’t have access to another console, then it might be your best choice this week. And if not, hey there’s OlliOlli World right there waiting for you.

That and a ton of other stuff too, including Sherlock Holmes, Action Arcade Wrestling, and a ton of Sonic the Hedgehog.
