Nintendo Download: 30th November (Europe)

It's time for European Nintendo Download Update, and this week has a number of tempting Switch releases both at retail and as download-only titles. The 3DS and Wii U don't entirely miss out, while there are also plenty of DLC options and discounts to consider - let's get into the details, shall we?

Switch Retail Downloads

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Nintendo, €59.99 / £49.99) - It's a series that's now embedded within Nintendo console gaming culture, offering a hefty dose of immersive (and downright complicated) RPG gaming. This 'main' sequel does a lot of things very well and will keep plenty of Switch owners busy into 2018 - here's our full Xenoblade Chronicles 2 review. Available from 1st December.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 + Expansion Pass (Nintendo, €89.98 / £76.98)

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 (WB Games, €59.99 / £49.99) - For fans of LEGO and Marvel this is high on wishlists, and as expected it serves up crazy crossovers, knockabout charm and an open world to explore. It does very little to take the LEGO series forward, but we gave it a recommendation in our LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 review. Available from 1st December.

SUPERBEAT: XONiC (Rising Star Games, €44.99 / £39.99) - Another welcome music rhythm release on the Switch, adding its own spin to the genre along with 68 songs to play.

Gear.Club Unlimited (Microïds, €49.99 / £44.99) - This aims to fill a gap in the Switch library with realistic driving and some tasty licensed cars. It has multiple modes and local co-op and aims to deliver a premium driving experience; we gave it a test drive in our Gear.Club Unlimited review.

Switch eShop

Resident Evil Revelations (Capcom, €14.99 / £11.99 if you own Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Switch, otherwise €19.99 / £15.99) - Originally a game that showcased the 3DS and its Circle Pad Pro, this solid spin-off entry in the series then made its way to Wii U and other assorted HD platforms. The arrival on Switch offers motion controls that bring back good memories of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. Here's our Resident Evil Revelations review.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Capcom, €19.99 / £15.99 if you own Resident Evil Revelations on Switch, otherwise €24.99 / £19.99) - It's the first time that this sequel will be playable on Nintendo hardware; it was an episodic release originally, but now comes as one complete package. We put it to the test in our Resident Evil Revelations 2 review.

Serial Cleaner (Curve Digital, €14.99 / £14.99) - A rather quirky 2D / stealth game in which you play the role of crime scene 'cleaner' for the mob. It's heavily stylised and certainly looks like a fun concept; our review will be with you later today.

Syberia 2 (Microïds, €29.99 / £26.99) - This series of remastered point-and-click titles continues, following a very solid first outing on the Switch not too long ago. "Kate Walker and the eccentric old Hans Voralberg set forth in search of a forgotten world" in this one, which sounds like a reasonable way to pass a weekend.

OPUS: The Day We Found Earth (Flyhigh Works, €5.00 / £4.49) - A title that seems to aim for an atmospheric experience, it's set millions of years in the future as a small robot tries to find Earth by charting the stars. It looks like a mix of stargazing and a touching narrative, and we'll see how it fares in a review.

Star Ghost (Rainy Frog / Squarehead Studios, €8.99 / £7.99) - Developed by Rare alumni Rhys Lewis (with music by David Wise), this adds an interesting spin to the sidescrolling space shooter; it has controls not too dissimilar to Barrel Rocket levels in Donkey Kong Country Returns, and we thought it was a darn good combination when we reviewed it on Wii U.

ACORN Tactics (TACS Games, €9.99 / £8.99) - A turn-based strategy title, this sees mechs go to battle with alien blobs over a 25 level campaign, seemingly also offering some nice customisation and depth. We'll dive in for a review.

MUJO (Oink Games, €8.99 / £8.09) - A blend of match-three and puzzle elements in which you use combinations to destroy mythological monsters. It has a simplistic (but relatively clean) look, but this is a pretty lazy port by the look of things.

Traverse USA (Hamster, €6.99 / £6.29) - This is the first IREM Arcade Archives release, a sentence to cheer the spirit of many retro gamers. Both a motorcycle overhead racing and sprite scaling hybrid game, you trying to get from LA to New York in once piece.

World Heroes (HAMSTER, €6.99 / £6.29) - It's the Neo Geo ACA series, so we might as well get another fighting game into the line-up. What helps this one stand out is its use of somewhat demented representations of historical figures from through the ages; it was arguably bettered by its sequels, but you can check out our original World Heroes review for another bit of retro goodness.

Switch DLC

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Expansion Pass (Nintendo, €29.99 / £26.99) - If you own the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 game and buy this Expansion Pass, you’ll gain access to some new content, including new story content in fall 2018! On Dec. 1, the Helpful Item Pack will roll out, with the New Quest Pack opening up in January. Plus, the New Rare Blade Pack will be added to the game in spring, with the New Challenge Mode Pack next summer.

Break In (Konami, €5.99 / £5.39) - The latest TurboGrafx-16 title to arrive courtesy of Konami, this is a retro pool game for your consideration. We weren't big fans in our original Break In review.

Power Golf (Konami, €6.99 / £6.29) - Konami's gradual and slightly surprising roll-out of TurboGrafx-16 games on the Wii U VC continues with Hudson's take on the grand old sport. Unfortunately we were rather unimpressed when we review this on the Wii Virtual Console.
