This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
    • Overcooked! 2 – The unbread have risen! Only you have the cooking skills to put their yeast to rest. The steaks have never been higher, so prepare to save the Onion Kingdom … again. Buddy up or go it alone as you cook up a storm, chopping, steaming and frying your way through dynamic and outright crazy levels. The Overcooked! 2 game will be available on Aug. 7. (Additional accessories may be required for multiplayer mode. Sold separately.)
    • Dead Cells – The Dead Cells game puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what’s happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and cursed island. Tough but fair combat, responsive controls and challenging foes make for a demanding and cathartic action game. Dead Cells will be available on Aug. 7.
    • Flipping Death – Welcome to Flatwood Peaks, a small whimsical town with a problem – Death is on vacation. Play as Penny and help trapped ghosts with your trusted scythe. Flip the entire world around to solve puzzles on both the living and the dead side, and slowly uncover the mystery surrounding your own demise. The Flipping Death game will be available on Aug. 7.
    • Salt and Sanctuary – A doomed sailor is shipwrecked on an uncharted island. In fog-shrouded valleys, shambling figures begin to stir. Beneath crumbling, salt-worn structures, labyrinthine passageways lead to unspeakable evil, long forgotten by man. The Salt and Sanctuary game seamlessly combines fast, brutal and complex 2D combat with richly developed RPG mechanics. Discover, craft and upgrade more than 600 weapons, armor pieces, spells and items as you explore a cursed realm.
  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS
    • WarioWare Gold – The infamous schemer Wario is back! Play his new microgame collection, where you’ll have seconds to complete 300 different microgames. Better think fast to succeed! You’ll use the touch screen, tilt the system, push buttons and rock the mic as you laugh through fully voiced stories featuring new and classic characters. The WarioWare Gold game will be available on Aug. 3.

I'm a bit interested in Salt and Sanctuary but will hold off for now though I might look up some gameplay.

Oh it's so worth it. I have it for my Vita and it's a blast. It's very Castlevania-esque. Definitely worth getting.

That's a big draw for me, I just don't know if I would care for the Dark Souls like difficulty. Too many other games I have that I need to finish though right now, MMXLC is being a pain w/ the final boss form in X4 and it has been distracting me from Octopath(which I want to finish before DQXI next month).

I was worried about that too at first. But it ended up being not as hard as I thought. I see.

There are too many indie games I'm interested in to keep up with all of them! I'll have a review for Iconoclasts soon, as well as the Inner World games; I want to get Dead Cells; and I'm really looking forward to Flipping Death. I really want to put more time into Ocotpath Traveler too.

 

Also give the demo for Yoku's Island Express a try! The Metroidvania-pinball formula might surprise you.

That title is what Wario says in the first Mario Party when he becomes a Superstar, right?

 

Do I win a cookie?

No, in Mario Party he says "Wario, I gotta win!"  He says "I'm-a Wario, I'm-a gonna win!" after winning a grand prix in Mario Kart 64.

 

Nevertheless, here's your cook- whoops!

Thanks and close enough.  I think I went with Mario Party because there's just more quotes in that game than Mario Kart 64, an easy thing to mix up.

Hmm, really?  In MK64 there are 5 speaking characters instead of MP's  4.  Unless by quotes you mean non-voiced ones, I'm inclined to say MK64 has more.

 

 

 

Also, fun fact: Wario was initially intended by Nintendo to be a German character.  When he loses in Mario Kart 64, he says "So ein mist!", which is German for "Blast it!", as confirmed by his original voice actor Thomas Spindler:

 

 

Wario was the sauerkraut to Mario's ravioli.  His German heritage may account for his unique "Von-Kaiser-esque" appearance.

You're right about that too. I counted none-voiced stuff in Mario Party as more than Mario Kart 64.
