Nintendo Download: A Solitaire-y Ride

Jockeys, dungeons, plumbers, and one big time knock off are all included in what’s an otherwise thin week for new releases.

Not that plumber

Alright so, this is a bit of an oddball week for the Nintendo Switch. It’s not that there are no new games hitting, because there are a ton of them, but what’s new isn’t what likely anyone would call ‘anticipated’. We’re talking about some niche stuff, to the nth degree here… and possibly a halfway decent time in the form of a hilariously-named knock-off.

First though, there’s the spotlighted games. This week sees Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! and Shiren the Wanderer, both of which are smaller launches. That’s not to say these are bad games, as we’re totally unfamiliar with both, but ‘big names’ they’re not.

And then there’s Call of Honor: Duty of Warfare. No, we’re not making that up, and yes it’s exactly what you think it is. Check out all of the above and everything else, below.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch

• Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! – The hit original solitaire horse racing game for the Nintendo 3DS system is galloping its way onto the Nintendo Switch system! Reach the finish line by playing solitaire and put together the best cards you can to help your horses take home the gold. If you win big, you’ll have new horses to add to your stable. Compete online*, play at your own pace or just breed and collect cute horses. No matter how you play, a good time is in the cards. The full Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! game and a playable demo are available now!

• Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island – Shiren the Wanderer and Koppa – his talking ferret partner – receive a vision of a distant land and a girl in distress, which leads them to the mysterious Serpentcoil Island. Rumors speak of lost pirate gold hidden away within the depths of the island and a powerful monster at its highest mountain peak, said to hold an exquisite treasure in its belly. Adventurers and warriors have flocked from all over the realm, eager for a chance at fortune. What is the connection between the mystery girl and the monster? What is the truth behind the secrets and treasures scattered throughout the island? Reach new heights in Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island – available now.
