Nintendo Download: 6th July (Europe)

The European Nintendo Download Update is live, and it's jam packed with options this time around. On Nintendo Switch we have six games including one published by Nintendo, while the 3DS has a notable first-party IP along with some other options. The Wii U doesn't miss out either, while there are plenty of discounts and some DLC option to also consider - let's get to it.

Nintendo Switch eShop

Flip Wars (Nintendo, €9.99 / £8.99) - Developed by Over Fence Co., the core concept is around multiplayer matches in which players compete by flipping over tiles to their colour, with various environmental factors and items that come into play; it includes local and online multiplayer. We'll flip out and then bring you a review.

IMPLOSION (Flyhigh Works, €12.00 / £10.79) - A mech-based sci-fi hack and slash game that boasts of high production values and has transitioned from smart devices, it looks rather decent in gameplay footage. We'll dispense justice and let you know what we think in a review.

I and Me (Ratalaika Games, €9.99 / £8.99) - This is a puzzle game in which you control two cats at the same time, a concept we've seen utilised a few times over the years. It has positive user reviews on Steam - where it launched in May 2016 - and promises plenty of content. We'll get cracking on a review.

Shephy (Arc System Works, €4.99 / £4.99) - This is based on a card game where you attempt to fill the earth with sheep, and it's quirky. Primarily for solo players and pitched as a relaxing good time, we'll try to make sense of it in a review.

Metal Slug 2 (HAMSTER, €6.99 / £6.29) - Those familiar with Metal Slug have a good idea of what to expect here, with chaotic and hugely entertaining run and gun action and stylish visuals from the Neo Geo era. Until we take a fresh look you can check out our Wii Virtual Console Metal Slug 2 review, and remember that as an ACA release it'll have the usual filters, save options and online leaderboards as expected with the series.

Vaccine (Rainy Frog, €9.99 / £8.99) - This is a retro-styled survival title that draws inspiration from the earliest Resident Evil titles, albeit with a time-limited narrative and randomisation in each run. Unfortunately we weren't fans of its previous release on the Wii U eShop in our Vaccine review.

Nintendo Switch DLC

Blaster Master Zero - EX CHARACTER: SHANTAE (Inti Creates, free until 20th July, then €1.99 / £1.79)

3DS eShop

Kirby's Blowout Blast (Nintendo, €6.99 / £6.29) - An interesting expansion and spin-off from a similar minigame in Kirby: Planet Robobot, this sees Kirby move around and battle enemies in three dimensional environments. There are 25+ stages, different medals to win and EX challenges as add-ons; we'll bring you a review soon.

Alchemic Dungeons (CIRCLE Ent., €5.00 / £4.99) - This is a turn-based rogue-like game with replayability courtesy of randomly generated dungeons. You can also craft your own unique items to aid your quest.

I am an air traffic controller AIRPORT HERO OSAKA-KIX (Sonic Powered, €14.99 / £13.49) - This is the third entry in this series in which you take on the frantic task of safely guiding planes on and off of the runways. You can choose from Story and Operation modes, with Kansai International Airport the destination this time around.

New Nintendo 3DS eShop

TABLE TENNIS INFINITY (RCMADIAX, €1.49 / £1.39) - A score-chasing game in which you use the touchscreen to move a paddle and hit balls as they fall down the screen.
