It’s a new week again and we’re all still here – hooray! It means a refresh on the Nintendo eShop, and some new goodies on the shelves of retailers. What’s new on Switch this week? What new games are heading to the platform, to be played at home or away?
The biggie this week has got to be Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky which is finally hitting the Nintendo Switch this Friday. You’ll be able to pick up a digital version from the Nintendo eShop, or you can nip to your favorite retailer and pick up a cartridge. Players will also be getting the full whack of content that has been released over the last six years, with every update being included in the Nintendo Switch version of No Man’s Sky. It’s worth noting, though, that the Switch version of No Man’s Sky will launch without multiplayer support, as per the official website. There’s a chance it could be added at a later date, but don’t expect to go on any epic adventures with your mates on or around launch.
Action fans are being dealt a decent card with NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition, which bundles the main game with the painfully titled “3C3C1D119440927” DLC. Again, one that can be downloaded from the eShop plucked from the shelf of your preferred retailer.
If you really want to throw hours of your life out of the window, Bus Driving Simulator 22 is headed to the Switch later on this week – and it’s great. The game has been out on PC since June of this year and, if you hadn’t guessed already, this scribe has put a disgusting amount of hours into it. If you’re a fan of working a second, virtual, non-paying job, Bus Driving Simulator 22 will probably sort you out.
