Nintendo eShop Highlights 15. Dezember 2022

Highlights this week include: Wavetale (release), Crisis Core—Final Fantasy VII—Reunion (release), River City Girls 2 (release)

Wavetale (Thunderful), Game, Digital Only

Surf the waters of a submerged city! Fight gigantic sea monsters, save your neighbors and uncover the secrets hidden under the surface. Explore the open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville in Wavetale, a story-driven action-adventure game introducing you to fed-up fishermen, secretive hermits—and maybe a pirate or two. Traverse calm waters and surging waves as Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water. Speed through the waves, swing yourself from housetops with your net, and defeat monstrous enemies to save the citizens of the islands. All with a little help from the shadows down below—and your cranky grandmother.

Crisis Core—Final Fantasy VII—Reunion (Square Enix)

Crisis Core—Final Fantasy VII—Reunion is the HD remaster version of the smash hit prequel to Final Fantasy VII. In addition to all graphics being remastered in HD, fully voiced dialogue and new soundtrack arrangements make for a dynamic new retelling of a beloved classic. Crisis Core—Final Fantasy VII—Reunion follows the story of Zack Fair, a young warrior admired by the boy destined to save the world, trusted by men renowned as heroes of legend, and loved by the girl who holds the fate of the planet in her hands. The tale of Zack’s dreams and honor—the legacy that connects him to Cloud—is revealed in full in this grand saga that has broken the limits of an HD remaster.

River City Girls 2 (WayForward), Game, Digital Only

Featured in the Indie World Showcase in December 2021. The River City Girls are ready for round 2! When an old foe resurfaces, Misako, Kyoko, Kunio, and Riki—joined by newcomers Marian and Provie—hit the streets for an all-new beat-’em-up adventure packed with new abilities, enemies, environments, and more! Team up for local or online co-op, then pound punks into the dirt with brand- new guard-crush attacks, lift-off combos, double-team maneuvers, and other knuckle-busting techniques! Level-up to earn new moves, buy items and accessories in more than 30 shops, and recruit defeated foes and hired heavies to help you on your way! River City is bigger than ever, with more locations to explore, more objects to destroy, and a day-night cycle! With nonlinear gameplay, a dynamic story system, and another epic soundtrack by Megan McDuffee, River City Girls 2 will keep you brawling until all your enemies yell »Barf!«

Aka (Neowiz), Game, Digital Only

Featured in the Indie World Showcase in November 2022. Description from publisher: Find inner peace in a small, open-world game. On these carefully handcrafted islands, you can take a nap on a giant monster, feed baby dragons, take care of the fauna and flora—but demons from your past might come back to remind you what you want to forget.

Lil Gator Game (Playtonic Friends), Game, Digital Only

The island is your playground. There’s a buddy atop every hill in this open-world, movement-focused adventure and they all seem to need help! Bop cardboard baddies, brave serene hills and forests, and scale sheer rocks that only a kid would dare! Joyful Exploration. Explore a lovingly crafted island full to the brim with areas to discover, friends to make and joy to be had. Each area of the island brings unique quests and characters to meet. Glide through the mountain tops and drop in on the Theatre Troupe kids, swing your stick sword through the forest with the Prep schoolers or find the “Cool Kids” down in the Creaklands. With plenty more areas to discover, there’s no knowing who you might run into.

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Cloud (Capcom), Game, Digital Only

The cloud version of Resident Evil 7 biohazard offers the complete package of content for this acclaimed survival horror masterpiece, including all DLC and bonus content previously released. Experience the game that redefined a genre and revolutionised the Resident Evil series.

Two Point Campus—Two Point Campus: Space Academy (Sega)

Welcome aboard space cadets, as we boldly go to Two Point County’s Space Academy! The Two Point space program is far, far away from its golden years, when rockets lit up the news and astronauts were semi-famous, like B-list actors you don’t even recognise. And now the County has opened the doors to its fledgling Space Academy, Two Point needs your help on the front-lines of galactic defence, inter-dimensional diplomacy, promoting the space industry and preparing the County for foreign life. The aliens are coming; look busy.
We’ve also discovered a cluster of those cheesy space rocks caught in the County’s orbit. So we need you to set up Two Point’s first out-of-County campus, source alien students from all around the galaxy, and teach them everything we know about us. Conditions may be harsh out here, but we’re sitting on a gold mine. So dust off your moon boots, set phasers to fun, and get your students to reach for the stars—and their wallets.
