Nintendo Download: Ho Ho Haute Couture

A second lean week on the Nintendo Download nonetheless includes a few gems. Vs Super Mario Bros, Steamworld Heist and more all hit this week.

Big little week

So, there’s not a lot of content this week on the Nintendo Download. For the second straight Holiday-time week, the spread of the company’s consoles only see a few titles debut. As I pointed out last week, this is pretty typical. The week leading up to Christmas (and just after) are typically quiet. Thing is though, unlike last week, this week actually has some good stuff.

There might not be many of them, but the games for this last week of 2017/first week of 2018 include the likes of SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition, Vs. Super Mario Bros, Guns Gore and Cannoli, and King of Fighters ’96. All of those are solid to good, and all of them are available on Switch. Not too shabby if you found one under the tree.

Here’s the full lineup:
