Nintendo Download: In an Eras Era

Nobunaga’s Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV arrive this week for Nintendo Switch Online.

Spring into feudal Japan

With the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, feudal Japan has kind of taken over the gaming space. If you’re in the mood, but a Switch owner who’s without said game, then you might want to check out some classic strategy titles brought back to life via Nintendo Switch Online’s SNES arena.

Both the first and fourth entries in the long running Nobunaga’s Ambition series have arrived for the subscription service, bringing the two games back from the SNES era for a new generation. Right along with them too, is Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire. Originally launching on the SNES, RotTK4 is similar in style to the Nobunaga’s Ambition titles, but takes place in China’s Second Han Dynasty. So while it’s not quiet in keeping with the theme, it’s at least in the same geographic region.

Prefer something a little more action oriented? Well, that’s fine too, because platformer Croc Legend of the Gobbos lands this week as well, along with the the puzzle game Bubble Ghost Remastered, and loads more.

Scroll down to check out the full listing.

  • NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION – NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION is a game set in Japan’s Sengoku period, a turbulent age when feudal warlords battled for control of the country. As the ruler of a fief, you’ll choose your own path to conquest: Will you wage war on neighbors, rely on diplomacy, use economic subterfuge, or send ninja assassins? Harness all of your ingenuity and resources to unite Japan! NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION will be available on March 28 for Nintendo Switch Online members. Note: This title supports up to eight players using a single Joy-Con controller. You can use Controller 1 or Controller 2 regardless of the number of players.
  • NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Lord of Darkness – In this fourth entry in the NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION series released for the Super NES console in 1994, you are a Sengoku Daimyo intent on unifying all 48 feudal states, from Tohoku to Kyushu. The flow of the game, in which you gather state power, ready your military, and win battles to expand your influence, has been expanded to include the dimensions of culture and technology. Collect tea items and give them to your generals as rewards. Raise their intelligence by holding tea ceremonies, giving them an advantage in diplomacy and trade ability. You can also increase the technological power of your feudal domain to gain the ability to manufacture rifles and warships that will give your military a boost in battle. NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Lord of Darkness will be available on March 28 for Nintendo Switch Online members. Note: This title supports up to eight players using a single Joy-Con controller. You can use Controller 1 or Controller 2 regardless of the number of players.
  • Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire – It’s the Second Han Dynasty, and China is on the verge of collapse. The landscape is dominated by court-family infighting and emerging powerful warlords. This struggle for power has brought an era known as the Three Kingdoms, complete with constant warfare among China’s most courageous and skillful heroes. As a ruler during these difficult times, it’s up to you to unify a country torn apart by rebellion. Expand your kingdom by building a strong military, or try outsmarting your rivals during negotiations. With powerful weapons, including automatic firing crossbows and catapults, you can engage your opponents in field battles or castle battles. But don’t forget: A ruler’s strength is also measured by the economic power of their kingdom and the happiness of its people! Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire will be available on March 28 for Nintendo Switch Online members.
