Nintendo Download: A Dance for the Lost

A fairly big week for Nintendo fans brings the remaster of El Shaddai, Eiyuden Chronicle, a new TMNT arcade port, and more.

Eclectic

There’s quite a bit of stuff arriving this week for the Nintendo Switch, and that’s a catalog that includes some pretty big names too. Chiefly among those, has to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants lands on the console today, bringing a seldom mentioned arcade title home, that stars the 2012 editions of the Fab Four.

On top of that, there’s modernized JRPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, the fantastic looking action/adventure Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, cute ‘n’ cartoony soulslike Another Crab’s Treasure, and El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster. How’s that for an eclectic set of new titles?

It’s also just scratching the surface, because as usual there’s a monster collection of smaller games hitting the Switch as well. So take a scroll on down and peruse.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch

  • Tales of Kenzera: ZAU – Embark on a poignant action-adventure game inspired by the rich myths of Bantu cultures.

  • Another Crab’s Treasure – Become a hermit crab and reclaim your prized shell in an epic treasure hunt across a polluted ocean!

Collect over 60 shells with distinct special abilities to defend yourself and improve your combat prowess with Adaptations learned from a variety of ocean creatures. Have a shell of a time when Another Crab’s Treasure washes ashore later today.
