Nintendo Download: Escaping the Spiral

Little Nightmares III makes its terrifying debut on the Switch/Switch 2 this week, along with Yooka-Re-Playlee and much more.

Little Nightmares, and a little Yooka-Re-Playlee fun

Not that it’s Halloween just yet, but a chilling sequel has just dropped onto the Switch and Switch 2, that should make the month a little scarier for players. And as you can see from the above, that game would be Little Nightmares III.

A long-awaited followup, Little Nightmares III brings fans back into its twisted and dark world. This time players take on the roles of two young friends, who find themselves caught in the Spiral. If you have yet to check out the trailers for the game, you might want to, as this game looks to up the ante quite a bit when it comes to the twisted.

Alongside Little Nightmares III, this week also brings a trio of new SNES games. Those naturally arrive for the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, and include BUBSY in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, FATAL FURY SPECIAL, and Mario & Wario. You might not be familiar with that last entry, and that’s understandable. Mario & Wario was formerly a Japanese market game only, and this is the first time that the action/puzzler has appeared elsewhere.

Those aren’t the only notable games this week though. Fans of classically styled 3D platforming will find Yooka-Replaylee out there as well. Landing for the Switch 2, Yooka-Re-Playlee re-presents the original Yooka-Laylee, but with some fresh content and an overhaul of its presentation.

Check out all of the above, and much more, in the full rundown below.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2:

  • Little Nightmares III – Play as two young friends, lost in a frightening world. Low and Alone are trapped in the Spiral and must search for a way out in this solo and co-op1atmospheric platformer set in a nightmarish world. You might find yourself playing a terrifying game of hide and seek with Monster Baby, struggling to avoid swarms of voracious Candy Weevils, or dodging heavy feet while running along the rain-soaked promenade of a filthy funfair. You’ll need to be ready to run, hide or even defend yourself at a moment’s notice to stay in one piece. Will you escape from this unending nightmare? Little Nightmares III is available Oct. 10 on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems.
  • Yooka-Replaylee – New remixed challenges and old favorites await in Yooka-Replaylee, the definitive remastered and enhanced version of the 3D indie platforming collect-a-thon, Yooka-Laylee. Explore the huge, beautiful open worlds as the lovable buddy-duo Yooka and Laylee once more, with a new map, a shiny new currency and tons of customization options. This buddy duo has never moved, looked or sounded better! Yooka-Replaylee is available now on Nintendo Switch 2.
  • Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Classics:
    • Mario & Wario – Action puzzles abound in this game previously only available in Japan for the Super Famicom system. Wario has dropped a bucket on poor Mario’s head, and now he can’t see! It’s up to you to lead Mario safely to Luigi, using the forest fairy’s magic wand to create platforms, change the direction Mario walks and defeat enemies. You can connect a compatible USB mouse (sold separately) to play the game on Nintendo Switch, or use the Joy-Con 2 controller like a mouse if you’re playing on Nintendo Switch 2. You can clear a total of 100 screens full of unique challenges using simple controls – just move the mouse to move the fairy and click the left button once to perform actions! Mario & Wario is available today for Nintendo Switch Online members.
    • BUBSY in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind – Bubsy the bobcat is on the prowl to recover his stolen yarn! Play as the furr-ocious feline himself in this action title released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. Bubsy’s grand adventure begins when his precious yarn is stolen by a race of yarn-obsessed aliens, the Woolies. Gallivant across 16 total stages, each containing an average of 300 screens, packed with wacky enemies and kooky mechanics. Dash through every nook and cranny of these vast stages as you search for yarn balls scattered throughout and make for the goal. BUBSY in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind is available today for Nintendo Switch Online members.
    • FATAL FURY SPECIAL – Pit 15 different fighters against each other! This fighting game, released for the Super NES console in 1995, includes the original eight characters from FATAL FURY 2, as well as three additional characters (Billy Kane, Axel Hawk and Laurence Blood) and an additional boss (Wolfgang Krauser). Plus, three characters from the original FATAL FURY (Tung Fu Rue, Duck King and Geese Howard) have returned to the fight. By building on the appeal from the previous game with its two-line battles, special moves and powerful finishers, on top of further improving the series’ formula, this game is truly worthy of the title “SPECIAL.” And if you can meet certain special conditions, Ryo Sakazaki from the ART OF FIGHTING series will make a special guest appearance, which is noteworthy in itself! FATAL FURY SPECIAL is available today for Nintendo Switch Online members.

Pre-orders:

  • Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment – Step onto the battlefield and take on hordes of enemies across Ancient Hyrule as you experience the canon story of Demon King Ganondorf’s invasion.

In the story, you’ll cross paths with the Sages of legend, including: Agraston, the worldly chief of the Gorons, Qia, the courageous Zora queen, and Raphica, a quick-witted leader of the Rito. You’ll also meet characters like Ardi, a compassionate leader who is bound by Gerudo law to serve Ganondorf; and Lenalia, Princess Zelda’s lady-in-waiting and one of Rauru’s most trusted attendants. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launches on Nov. 6 for Nintendo Switch 2.
