Nintendo Releases – November 28, 2024 – Updates

Last week, we missed out on a few interesting releases. Notably, Life is Strange: Double Exposure made its digital debut, and if you’re into retro games, Taito’s Final Blow entered the Archives.

Now, you’d think with Thanksgiving on the horizon, we’d see fewer surprise releases from Nintendo of America. But given past weeks where over 20 games dropped unexpectedly, it’s anyone’s guess what might happen. The standout release has got to be the localization of Riviera: The Promised Land—a perfect strategic RPG for those looking to escape family gatherings this weekend. Keep a watchful eye on Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam. This time it’s not sporting a hefty $65 price tag since it’s a fandisc. Nine Sols has caught the attention of fans, while Wholesome Direct introduces Critter Cafe. And don’t overlook Broken Reality, which could stealthily be a hit.

In our journey into nostalgia, Snow Bros. Wonderland offers a fresh spin on a classic action stage game, and the Epyx Sports Collection lets you experience both the thrill and the challenge of Hacky Sack. The Scheme, released for the EggConsole, promises shooter action that doesn’t require mastery in Japanese.
