Nintendo Download: ¡Viva Mulaka!

It is a very good week indeed for Nintendo fans, with a few standouts landing on the Switch. Chief among those is Mulaka, a game that hasn’t had a ton of press, but looks gorgeous and seems like a solid winner.

Viva

Yeah, I’m liking the way this one looks. Mulaka stars an adventure that focuses on indigenous South American culture – Tarahumaran in particular. There’s a malevolent supernatural force to battle, and a pantheon of gods to draw power from. And on top of all that, it’s great looking.

Have a peek:

Aside from Mulaka though, there’s a surprising amount of good looking stuff this coming week. There’s the new Scribblenauts, Fear Effect Sedna, and even some DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Good stuff.

Here’s the full list:
