Nintendo Download: Happy New Year!

Maybe the lightest Nintendo Download ever closes out the year with some pinball and not a whole lot else.

Hope you got something good for Christmas

This week’s Nintendo Download is not what you might call ‘stacked’, and we mean that even being well familiar with the traditional release schedule that encompasses that dreaded week between Christmas and New Years. This week’s is also not even close to some of the year’s thinnest slates as we can remember, with a menu that includes… eight games.

Obviously don’t look for any of those to be even remotely ”big names”, but even the indie stuff is uh, well it’s not all that eye-catching. Maybe that’s why Nintendo has chosen to highlight some of the biggest Switch launches from throughout this past year. Hey, at least it’s something.

If you’re looking for specifically new stuff though, there is a pinball title that could be interesting, so maybe that might scratch the itch for a few people out there. Scroll down to take a perusal of the entire set.
