Nintendo Download: Creepin’ It Real

A great Halloween play arrives for the Nintendo Switch Online service today with Shadow Man, along with a bevy of other releases.

Into the Deadside

Would there have been a better day of the year for the N64‘s Shadow Man to arrive on Nintendo’s Switch Online service than Halloween? The third-person actioner was released in remastered form a while back, but we’re talking about a port of the original N64 game here.

The first of two games that starred the supernatural Valiant Comics hero, Shadow Man first hit the 64bit console in 1999. And though there was that one sequel, it wasn’t til just recently that a totally new game was revealed. Unfortunately we still don’t know much about that one, but if you’ve been itching to play the original, your time might be here.

Nintendo revealed just today that both Shadow Man and the excellent FPS Turok 2: Seeds of Evil have arrived for Nintendo Switch Online. One note though, before you get set to play on this Halloween, is that both titles are in the “Mature 17+” app.

So long story short, you’ll need to download that in order to find them. Well, that and you’ll of course have to be a subscriber.

In addition to the above, Farmagia also lands this week, with Aero the Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge, Metal Slug Tactics, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, Shadows of the Damned Remastered, and a ton more. Scroll down to check out the full list.
