Nintendo Download: A Reverie for Adventure

Side-scrolling 3D adventure Klonoa returns this week for the Switch, along with Capcom Fighting Bundle, Ghostrunner Complete and loads more.

I’ve got Klonoa

It’s a pretty nice week all around for Nintendo fans. The Switch has a whole mess of games releasing, of varying levels. But while there is the usual deluge of smaller titles hitting, there are also a good deal of big names.

That’s a list that’s probably topped by Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series, a series that’s not been seen in years, but has made its return thanks to Bandai Namco. If you don’t remember Klonoa, it was a side-scrolling action series that had 3D elements and starred the title character.

Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series takes the first two games in the set and remasters them for modern players. The release takes place on the 25th anniversary of the original too, so if you remember Klonoa fondly, you might want to take a walk down memory lane.

As mentioned though, there is a ton other of stuff landing this week too. There’s the Capcom Fighting Bundle that brings together Street Fighter Collection and Capcom Fighting Collection, Ghostrunner Complete Edition, Little Nightmares I&II Bundle, and loads more.

Here’s the full list:
