If you aren’t the sporting type, then you may want to dust off your 3DS to download the Yo-Kai Watch 2 Special Demo and BOXBOY! Series Demo Version. There’s also Mini Sports Collection (£4.49) from Rainy Frog, which packs in 12 sporting events in total. Chalk this one up as one of Nintendo’s rare misfires.Īmazingly, it isn’t the only sporting compendium out this week. Some of the sporting events are allegedly okay, but the package as a whole feels rough around the edges. You’d be better off buying last week’s Metal Slug 3 over this, though, as it offers far more variety.Īs mentioned during yesterday’s new release round-up, the 3DS’ Mario Sports Superstars (£34.99) hasn’t exactly wowed the critics, with most review scores clocking in at around 5/10. While far from original, it’s quite well balanced and provides a decent challenge.

This NeoGeo classic was one of the early releases for the system, arriving in 1990. We suspect that it will help to fill the gap between major retail releases for anxious Switch owners looking for a low-impact game to play on the go†they said before handing out an 8/10.


“Blaster Master Zero is a lovely addition to the Switch’s library. Nintendo Life found the hybrid shooter to suit Nintendo’s hybrid console superbly. This reimaging retains the retro style, along with the pleasingly daft plot – an intergalactic quest to save a pet frog. Visually it was rather smart too, sporting some chunky, colourful, sprites. The original Blaster Master achieved cult classic status on the NES, mixing 2D side-scrolling and top-down shooting to good effect. Nintendo’s exciting new plaything sees two new releases: Blaster Master Zero (£8.99 – also out on 3DS) and ACA NEO GEO NAM-1975 (£6.29). We can only assume the alcohol flowed freely during the Nintendo Switch launch party – this week’s eShop schedule was sent out four days later than usual.
