Nintendo Download: A Night Market To Remember

Not quite as explosive of a Download as last week’s, this week brings Avatar, Paleo Pines, Wartales Operation Wolf, and more.

Not that Avatar

So first, we’re not talking about Jim Cameron’s Avatar here. This week brings the next game to star the Airbending Avatar, which may or may not actually have a bigger fanbase at this point. Avatar The Last Airbender: Quest for Balance hasn’t been hyped all that much, but retells the tale of the original cartoon series, and offers both solo and 2 player co-op. If you’re a fan of the now-classic animated series, you may want to check it out.

Along with Aang, this week also brings a few notable smaller and indie launches. Fans can look for the port of PC strategy title Wartales, the dino-centric Paleo Pines, Mineko’s Night Market, Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, the return of a shooting classic with Operation Wolf Return: First Mission, and more Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (part 4 of the platforming series).
