Nintendo Switch Eshop Adds Octopath Traveler, Captain Toad, And More Games This Week
(GameSpot Xbox 360 News)

A bunch of new games are now available on Nintendo Switch. It`s an especially busy week for Nintendo`s hybrid console; 26 games in all have released for the system this week, including two of this summer`s biggest titles: Square Enix`s retro-inspired RPG Octopath Traveler and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.As its name implies, Octopath Traveler features eight playable characters, each of whom has their own unique storyline to follow. Along with a beautiful `HD 2D` visual style that harkens back to classic 16-bit RPGs, the game`s most distinctive feature is its battle system, which allows players to forgo turns to stack up attacks. You can learn more about the title in GameSpot`s Octopath Traveler review.Octopath TravelerCaptain Toad, meanwhile, is a port of the beloved Wii U puzzler. The game tasks players with guiding Captain Toad and Toadette around diorama-like levels to find hidden objects and collect stars. The Switch version also features a handful of new levels inspired by Mario`s most recent 3D adventure, Super Mario Odyssey. You can find out how well the game holds up on Switch in our Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker review.Beyond those two titles, this week also saw the release of Shining Resonance Refrain, a turn-based RPG that was previously only available in Japan on PS3. Other notable releases this week include the beautiful point-and-click adventure game The Lion`s Song; the explosive puzzle-platformer Bomb Chicken; the cult classic adventure game Another World; and the Neo Geo first-person action game The Super Spy.
