This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch

ARMS
– Fighting superstars from around the world share one thing in common: extendable arms! Fight as never before: equip each arm of each fighter with a super-powered weapon to create a slew of unprecedented combinations. Then use simple motion or button controls to dish out highly strategic beatdowns in 1-on-1 or even 2-on-2 battles! The ARMS game will be available on June 16. (Additional accessories required for multiplayer mode. Sold separately.)

Cave Story+ – A young boy wakes up in a cave with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Join him in an action-packed adventure of thrills and discovery: Cave Story+, the definitive edition of the classic game, will be available on the Nintendo Switch console on June 20.

MIGHTY GUNVOLT BURST – Rather than make a direct sequel to its bite-sized 2D action game Mighty Gunvolt from 2014, Inti Creates has made the next installment in the Mighty Gunvolt series. MIGHTY GUNVOLT BURST is a new full-sized game that features characters from multiple universes, with Gunvolt (Azure Striker Gunvolt) and Beck (Mighty No. 9) taking the stage once again.

Runbow Pocket
– Runbow Pocket is a fast, frantic game in which you can conquer more than 145 levels. The world changes with each swipe of color, so you’ll have to stay on your toes as platforms and obstacles disappear. Runbow Pocket will be available on June 20.

Why not sign up for a (free) account?
 
That description of Gunvolt is confusing. Isn't it just an upgraded version of the original? Or... is it?!

@Zero

I'm not real sure, but the original wasn't exactly a gripping experience...I got it as a freebie for backing Mighty No. 9, but I wouldn't have paid money for it.

Is the new Gunvolt game ONLY on Switch? Thought it was also on 3DS.

Speaking of Beck, I got an email saying the handheld versions of Mighty No. 9 are still in development! ...to the cheers of no one.

@GameDadGrant Mighty Gunvolt Burst is coming to 3DS in two weeks. I thought Mighty Gunvolt was totally forgettable, but this looks pretty good to me:



Destructoid quite liked it, and it sounds a lot more interesting than I'd expected.

Looks like fun! But Beck being in there just makes me sad. He's depressing, and the other one I'm indifferent about. But hey, the game itself might be cool.

That looks like a love letter to Mega Man, albeit not quite as polished. Might be worth a play when it drops in price.

Oh, cool! Thanks for the info, man.

River City? Kunio?

Probably not.

I'll grab inti's new joint sooner or later. And I'm picking up ARMS tomorrow. Hype!!

BAAAAAHHH! I caved and ordered a copy of ARMS earlier this week, along with a copy of Binding of Isaac Afterbirth + and some other crap, but the place I ordered from screwed up and instead of sending it with the local postal service they handed my parcels (because they both divided the order into two and made me wait for both to be shipped at the same time, because of course they did) to a courier that only delivers to my location on wednesdays despite driving through here daily. So instead of the regular 24 hour delivery/release day delivery I get a-week-and-a-half long delivery. I was actually looking forward to playing ARMS tonight and everything. First world problems, but a frustrating end to a crap week that desperately needed some good entertainment.

Guess I might give Mighty Gunvolt Burst a shot tonight.

That sucks.

First-world sympathy!

@Anand
*First-world fist bump*

In other news: Mighty Gunvolt Burst is pretty good so far. The upgrade system is neat, and the stage designs are cool. It feels close enough to Mega Man that I kind of enjoy the game by default, but it's also close enough to Mega Man that I get extra critical about the stuff that differs from the blue bomber.
