My old faves become new again.
It’s nearing the end of the week, which means that, once again, new titles are hitting the Nintendo eShop! Though a slew of indies and a band of Naruto games launch this week, they’re all frozen in place by the re-release of none other than Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
Though it blasted its way onto the Wii U in 2014, Tropical Freeze is officially on Nintendo Switch as of today, May 4. This isn’t just a simple port, mind you. While the game’s original levels and collectibles are intact, the Switch version includes another member of the DK Crew: Funky Kong! Tropical Freeze becomes a breeze with Funky, as he touts extra hearts, a surfboard that grants invincibility to some obstacles, and a discount at his own in-game shop.
Meanwhile, another classic port is hitting the Switch today. Nihilumbra was initially released on iOS devices in 2012, but since then, it’s found solace on the PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Android devices, and most operating systems. Though Nihiliumbra is a simple platformer in which the protagonist uses color-based powers to maneuver the world, there’s a reason it’s had multiple ports in the past six years. Grab it on Switch, if it tickles your fancy.
Here’s a quick list of everything releasing this week on the Nintendo eShop:
