Nintendo Releases – November 28, 2024 – Updates

Last week, a couple of interesting things slipped past the radar. First up, the digital release of “Life is Strange: Double Exposure,” a game that seems perfect for fans of narrative-driven adventures. Then there’s “Final Blow” by Taito, an archive of boxing nostalgia.

On the horizon, you’d think Thanksgiving would mean fewer surprise drops from Nintendo of America. But given recent patterns, who knows? Our spotlight game this week is the localization of “Riviera: The Promised Land.” It’s ideal if you’re looking to bury yourself in a strategy RPG and dodge some family time. Meanwhile, “Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam” is intriguing; it doesn’t come with the heavy $65 price tag of its predecessor, so it’s definitely worth a glance. And if you’re into something buzzing with energy, “Nine Sols” has generated quite the chatter. There’s also “Critter Cafe,” a cute find from the Wholesome Direct lineup, and “Broken Reality,” which might just be the sleeper hit everyone misses.

Delving into retro territory, “Snow Bros. Wonderland” offers a fresh twist on classic stage-based action. With the “Epyx Sports Collection,” you can now relive the charm of Hacky Sack (and its understated difficulty). Plus, “The Scheme,” available on the EggConsole, offers a shooter experience without needing full Japanese fluency.
