Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch

Enter the Gungeon – The Enter the Gungeon game is a dungeon crawler that follows a band of misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge roll and table flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past.

Yooka-Laylee – Explore huge, beautiful worlds, meet (and beat) an unforgettable cast of characters and horde a vault-load of shiny collectibles as buddy-duo Yooka (the green one) and Laylee (the wisecracking bat with the big nose). Embark on an epic adventure to thwart corporate creep Capital B and his devious scheme to absorb all the world’s books ... and convert them into pure profit!

Romancing SaGa 2 – Sit upon the throne of the Varennes Empire and control several generations of rulers in a valiant battle against the Seven Heroes. A dynamic freeform scenario system – a hallmark of the SaGa RPG series – enables you to take command of a variety of protagonists along the line of imperial succession and experience the history of a nation as it grows and changes based on your actions. The Romancing SaGa 2 game is available on Dec. 15.

The barrage of games just won't stop! I'm actually glad I have to wait a while longer for Enter the Gungeon.

A small update on last week's release of The Sexy Brutale:

Sexy Brutale fans,
We wanted to let you know that we are working on a patch for the Switch version. The patch is to improve performance and resolution on handheld and TV mode, to solve some freezing issues, and to fix some text strings. We hope it can be ready next week!

Some sort of update is downloading right now, but I suppose it's not the patch mentioned in the tweet. Not sure what it is, though.

Jeez, the packed weeks continue.

I played Bleed and Hammerwatch on PC. Bleed is a 2D twin-stick shooter, fun while it lasts (an hour or two) but not especially notable. Hammerwatch is a top-down twin-stick dungeon crawler, also just sorta fine.

Brawlout is a budget Smash clone that looks pretty good, guest starring the guy from Guacamelee and the Hyper Light Drifter.

Embarrassment of riches.

I cannot say no to some of these. Why does Nintendo disrespect my wallet so??

Romancing Saga and Yooka Laylee I must buy on principle alone.

You could say that again!

I'm downloading Yooka-Laylee tonight, as well as Mutant Mudds Collection. The latter also includes a brand-new puzzle game, so you're getting three games for the price of one. THAT VALUE.

ACA: The Last Blade raises my eyebrow. I've only ever played the sequel.

I've also heard that Never Stop Sneakin' is a Metal Gear Solid spoof of sorts. No idea what the quality is, though. Trailer is hilarious:

@GameDadGrant
I think that the puzzle game is a reskin of Bomb Monkey. Which I enjoyed!

Never Stop Sneakin' looks pretty funny. And the mechanics are interesting.

Gungeon and Crawl are probably my top picks this week.

@Anand

I think you are right. About Bomb Monkey.
