The following content is available for Nintendo Download this week:
- Game Boy – Nintendo Switch Online
- SURVIVAL KIDS – Test your capacity for survival! You take on the role of a famous explorer’s young child in this 1999 Game Boy Color survival role-playing game. You and your father are on a cruise when a violent storm strikes, leaving you trapped on a deserted island. You can only rely on yourself now when there is no aid in sight! Look for food and water on the island, then assemble objects to make the tools you’ll need to live. You might be able to locate a way out if you search the entire island! SURVIVAL KIDS is currently accessible to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
- GRADIUS THE INTERSTELLAR ASSAULT – You have a one million to one chance of surviving. The battle is over and the alien bile on your flight suit has dried in this 1992 side-scrolling shooter game for the Game Boy. Your fingers move as though they are encircling the ship’s gun trigger. And then, BLAM! Everywhere there is fire. There are doomships swarming in! With the three weapons at your disposal—MISSILE, DOUBLE, and LASER—you must adapt your attacks to the enemy and environment of each stage. Just keep in mind that you cannot equip both laser and double weapons at the same time! GRADIUS Nintendo Switch Online users can now access THE INTERSTELLAR ASSAULT.
- The Sword of Hope – The tale of Prince Theo, who carries the chosen one’s mark. The protagonist of this role-playing game, Prince Theo, was born with the mark of the chosen one, a dagger-shaped birthmark on his arm. The game was first released for the Game Boy in 1991. You must search for the Sword of Hope, which is supposed to be able to vanquish the darkness, as you are the chosen one. You will use it to save the land from the once-powerful and benevolent monarch who is now controlled by evil. Continue using your available weapons and magic to vanquish the obstacles in your way. Your adventure will require three commands. OPEN lets you open treasure chests to uncover valuable things, while LOOK lets you examine individuals and their surroundings to gather knowledge. Although using HIT irresponsibly might occasionally have unanticipated consequences, it can also make someone upset with you! Nintendo Switch Online users can now access The Sword of Hope.
- Kirby’s Star Stacker – In this puzzle game, you may join Kirby as he stacks the falling stars with the assistance of his friends Rick, Kine, and Coo—who, respectively, resemble a hamster, sunfish, and owl. While entire lines emerge from below with relentless clock-like regularity, blocks shower down continuously from above. Achieve a high score by sandwiching the stars between Kirby’s friends. King Dedede is trying to stop you, so beware of him! However, you can outsmart him and advance to the next difficult level with a few fast moves and a well-thought-out plan. Members of Nintendo Switch Online can now play Kirby’s Star Stacker.
