Switch eShop - New Releases
Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes (Daedalic GmbH, 14th Aug 2019, £17.99) - Life at the convent school isn't easy for Lilli. Only her vivid imagination lets the shy girl escape everyday-drudgery under the stern, watchful eye of the Mother Superior. She diligently works through her chores, no matter how unfair they may be. Her innocent, imperturbable way of carrying out the orders of others has something both tragic and eerie about it. Any resentment, any childlike disobedience is buried deep beneath a seemingly impenetrable shell of sweetness.
VASARA Collection (QUByte Interactive, 15th Aug 2019, £8.99) - For the very first time, highly acclaimed Japanese Arcade Shoot’em Ups, Vasara and Vasara 2, are made available to the whole world via this package: VASARA Collection! Science Fiction meets History in these arcade classics which take place in an alternate timelime Feudal Japan where technologically advanced weaponry and equipment are a reality, and heroes use flying motorcycles with amazing firepower and fierce melee weapons to destroy their enemies. Read our VASARA Collection review
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (The Astronauts, 15th Aug 2019) - You play the game as Paul Prospero, an occult-minded detective who receives a disturbing letter from Ethan Carter. Realizing the boy is in grave danger, Paul arrives at Ethan’s home of Red Creek Valley, where things turn out to be even worse than he imagined. Ethan has vanished in the wake of a brutal murder, which Paul quickly discerns might not be the only local murder worth looking into. Inspired by the weird fiction and other tales of the macabre from the early twentieth century, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter aims to significantly evolve immersive storytelling in games.
GRANDIA HD Collection (GungHo America, 16th Aug 2019, ~$39.99) - Two quintessential RPGs have finally gone portable on one of gaming's most popular console/handheld hybrid platforms. The highly anticipated GRANDIA HD Collection for the Nintendo Switch is here.
Ittle Dew (Ludosity, 15th Aug 2019, £8.99) - Adventuress Ittle Dew and her sidekick Tippsie crash onto a strange island, filled with loot and mysterious inhabitants. It quickly dawns on the duo that this might become their biggest adventure yet. Ittle Dew boils down the classic adventure formula until there is only fun left.
Arcade Archives VS. GRADIUS (HAMSTER, 15th Aug 2019) - "VS. GRADIUS" is a KONAMI’s shooting game released in 1986. Control VIC VIPER to destroy the invading cosmic force BACTERIAN and save the planet GRADIUS.

So that's your lot for this week's Nintendo Download. Go on, be a sport and drop a vote in the poll above, and comment below with your hot picks!

I'm buying Friday the 13th on Friday the 16th.
No prices again?
No prices......or lazy cut and paste!
Tempted by Gris but my backlog is so long and I can't stop playing Fire Emblem!
Tempted by Gris too.
Most likely GRANDIA HD collection for me depending on the price.
@Lord I saw a post by one of the Staff saying the Nintendo has stop giving them prices when they release the upcoming games and sales for the week. TBF it would be too much work for the staff to find the prices for the games for both £ and €.
@Lord it's not just me? Phew. Thought there was something wrong with my phone.
@Lordplops 😂
I don't see Grandia HD on eShop. Weird...
No prices again
@KoopaTheGamer it’s out tomorrow
No prices again, but I've seen 40 bucks for Grandia HD Collection in the US. Freaking expensive for a digital only...
Without prices this list is a bit, well a lot, useless unfortunately
Vasara collection for me, brought for a very reasonable price of £4.50
Sorry folks, Nintendo have decided not to include prices in their press release again. We’ll see if we can import these somehow from the eshop but doing it manually would take wayyy too long!
Im still waiting for the switch version of fuze 4. Anyone know when it comes out?
Tempted by blossom tales but I should really stop buying games
@Moroboshi876 $40 ouch then it would be €40 also. Ya that is higher then I was expecting (which was €30).
@antdickens I think it could be easier if you just posted the prices for the new releases of the week... The big ones at least... Ok fine I really just want to know how much Grandia HD is going to cost me! xD
Weird time to release Friday 13th - feels like that would do much better nearer Halloween. Or releasing it next month on actual Friday 13th
@RazumikhinPG
It's $39.99 on the American store, so expecting £30-35 hope it's cheaper.
Wish these company's would use a little common sense and not be so greedy. Pretty sure they would well more and make more of they made it a little cheaper
@deKay Oh, I didn't notice that. Nonetheless a bit weird that it's not on the Coming soon page.
@suikoden That's ridiculously expensive if you ask me. Ah well, better boot part 2 up on the good ole Dreamcast then!
@RazumikhinPG added some prices for ones that seem available, cheers!
Yesterday I was recommended to try Gris, but I hadn't enough money to buy it. Today is a lucky day, it seems
40 bucks for grandia? no thnx
@KoopaTheGamer Gungho has stated the games won’t show up at all until the releasedate for some reason
GRIS for me. Looking forward to it.
Soooo.... no more 3ds discounts? I really need to step up and buy the things I want, it's end times for wiiu and 3ds I'm afraid
@suikoden @antdickens Thank you! That's steep, ouch.
Gris in Norwegian is called Pig in English.
Anyway. I already bought Friday 13th on both Xbox One and PS4, so i'm not getting it a third time until it's on sale with big discount.
Rad doesn't launch on Europe the 20th?
What happened to the prices? Not helpful at all
Is grandia also getting a physical release?
Otherwise not interested
@DenDen
Doesn't seem so, seems to becoming more and more common with the switch
Why on earth is Vs. Gradius on sale!?
Firstly, if you want a Gradius game, you can get Gradius 1 & 2 on the Konami Arcade collection, and the NES version in on the Nintendo Online NES service. Why on earth would you pay for an arcade version of an NES version of an arcade game!? :S
Buy Gris. It's very beautiful and you'll remember those 5 hours for years to come.
For me Fire Emblem and Marvel
UA3 stretched my game budget so no more games for me for a while.
I'd love to pick up Grandia HD later.
@RickD I've asked on multiple threads if you can wireless local multiplay Friday the 13th. I think people must not actually know. Id buy multiple copies if possible. Otherwise I'm buying none.
@sixrings A quick Google says no.
@suikoden
Argh well then its a skip for me
Is grandia even releasing in europe , it's the 16th and still no sign of it
Edit
Contacted them and it's Will be in the store at 19.00, what a bizarre time. A few hours away from the 17th
@suikoden Thanks for that, I was getting a bit annoyed with it not showing up all day! Bizarre desision though...🤔
@Orshudei
It's 35.99 so they can stick it where the sun doesn't shine ,until it's on sale. Can't see many buying at this price. 25 i could of seen people snapping it up.
Bad excuses from this site! The only thing they have to do for the discounts is going to the e-shop and then typing a list of game-titles, original prices and reduced prices (all in Euro's). Would only take them a couple of minutes. Everybody happy...
...instead they rather spend all their time on pointless articles about the 3DS being dead (their opinion) rumors on new Nintendo Switch versions (where they didn't have any proof), or yet another joy-con drifting article (we get it now, we are all drifting our ass off and its super annoying. And epic fail on Nintendo's part). Priorities.
INVISIGUN
Missing from the list. Finally came out!
