Maybe get outside or something

If you read our look forward to the rest of the month of May, then you already know that there isn’t much coming up. It’s a very light month for new games, there’s no getting around that. And of course, that includes the Nintendo Download(s), which is likewise a bit airy.

That’s not to say that there’s nothing to get, if you’re looking for a new title to play. There’s stuff like the aforementioned Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising after all, which actually looks pretty cool and is a taste of what’ll arrive with .Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

An action RPG, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising has a really nice animated look to it. But it’s not just a pretty face, as the game genuinely sounds like it might be a winner. ARPG mechanics are bolstered by a town-building system, so there are multiple things to keep you busy.

If you’re not into Eiyuden Chronicle though, there isn’t really anything of note. Scroll down and take a look.
