Nintendo Download for August 18, 2016 – North America

The Olympic drought has ended for Nintendo Download!  Check out the many games released today!

Sorry for the late post today! Today is a big deal for those that saw the drought last week.  This week we got fifteen new games, seventeen if you count both versions of two games.  This week’s Nintendo Download is large in size, so let’s jump right in!

Featured on the Wii U Side is the platformer Poncho.  The goal is to make your way through the pixelated parallax.  The ultimate puzzle awaits to figure out who is Poncho?  You can shift between three layers, overcome plenty of challenges in this open-world game. Also available are Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, Blasting Agent: Ultimate Edition, Word Logic by POWGI, Adventure Party: Cats and Caverns, Armikrog (available August 23)Collateral Thinking, Mikrogame Rotator, and Ziggurat.

Featured on the 3DS side is Metroid Prime: Federation Force.  With this brief summary, I cannot your change opinions regarding this title as there have been lots of hot topics surrounding this title since it was announced.  Use Mechs and fight off the Space Pirates with your friends or with the help of others playing online.  The galaxy needs to reach a state of peace so make sure to use your mech’s firepower and formulate strategies to take down the Space Pirates.  You can still pre-buy today, but the game officially releases tomorrow August 19.  Also available are Style Savvy: Fashion Forward (available tomorrow August 19), Power Disc Slam, Blasting Agent: Ultimate EditionWord Logic by POWGI, Brick RaceKingdom’s Item Shop, and Touch Battle Ninja.
