It’s kind of an odd week for Nintendo fans, with the headline game being an update for the Mario Kart mobile title. Not that that’s it, but you get the drift.
Get it?
So yeah, an update for Mario Kart Tour is center stage for this week’s Nintendo Download. It brings in Toad as a driver, in “Tourist” mode, and a set of courses that cover “Europe’s cultural capitals”. So if you’re into that, it seems like a nice dose of fresh content. If not, well there ain’t much.
Omega Strikers is the Switch’s spotlight game of the week. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a free-to-play (many people stopped reading), online multiplayer title with 3 on 3, power-up enhanced soccer action.
Not doing it for you? If not, there really isn’t much else, though the Mortuary Assistant is finally out, and that looks like some spooky fun. If you’re into horror, you might wanna try it.
Scroll down for the rest:
