Nintendo Download: Become a Pokémon Puzzle Master

Jason Micciche July 15, 2022 News, Nintendo, Nintendo Switch Leave a comment 1,177 Views

A hefty week of smaller game releases also sees the new Sega portion of the Expansion Pack get filled out with Mega Man, Comix Zone, and more.

Comix Zone is HARD

Although I loved Comix Zone when it first came out, I have to admit I never could get very far into it. That game is tough, and I mean tough. Even older stuff that was supposed to be hard, like Mega Man, I was able to beat eventually. Not Comix Zone.

But, as usual, I digress, because there’s actually a lot to like about this week’s Nintendo Download. It begins, of course, with the 4-pack of Sega Genesis titles hitting the subscriber-only Expansion Pack. Those include the aforementioned Comix Zone and Mega Man (The Wily Wars), plus Zero Wing and Target Earth. The N64 section meanwhile, gets Pokemon Puzzle League.

Past those, there’s also the futuristic Zelda-like Xel, Ending: Extinction is Forever, Mothmen 1966, and a massive load of smaller releases. Scroll down and take a look, you never know what might strike a chord.
