Wolfenstein II, Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, Inside, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week
Nostalgia, Nazis, and a few side-scrollers make this week’s Nintendo eShop update an interesting place to be…
Bethesda’s Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus will make its way to the Switch this week, and players will get the chance to help BJ Blazkowicz kick a little Nazi ass on American soil this time around.
Also available to download this week for the Switch is Activision’s Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, which brings the first three games from the franchise (Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped) together in a single package.
Playdead will also make its Switch debut this week as the developer will bring their award-winning pair of puzzle-platformers (Inside and Limbo) to Nintendo’s newest console.
And speaking of side-scrollers, 13AM Games’s wildly colorful runner, Runbow, will also arrive on the Switch this week.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including MotoGP 18, The Journey Down: Chapter Two, Waking Violet, and more) after the break. (more…)

Playdead’s Inside and Limbo are launching for the Switch on June 28
By way of a very economical tweet, Playdead announced this morning that the critically-acclaimed Limbo and Inside will both be released for the Switch on June 28.
Limbo was released for the Xbox 360 in 2010, while Inside followed likewise on the Xbox One in 2016. Since then, both games have made their way to multiple platforms and racked up a huge number of “Game of the Year” nominations.
If nothing else, Playdead’s signature blend of visually-striking graphics and puzzle-platforming gameplay should match up well with Switch owners.
Xbox Store Today: Threes, Limbo
Two highly acclaimed indie games make their way to the Xbox One today in Microsoft’s latest Xbox Games Store update.
Threes took the mobile world by storm earlier this year and now the shifty puzzler can be played in glorious high definition on your Xbox One. A massive television screen doesn’t really do much to enhance the playability of Threes, but it surely can’t hurt…
Also available for the Xbox One today is Limbo, Playdead’s haunting monochromatic platformer that was originally released for the Xbox 360 in 2010. Xbox One owners who purchased the system on “Day One” recently received a free copy of Limbo as a thank you from Microsoft.
More information on both of these great games can be found after the break. (more…)
PSN Today: Remember Me, EDF: Insect Armageddon, Limbo Vita, more
You’ll never forget today’s PlayStation Store update… and that’s not just a play on Capcom’s Remember Me! But yes, Capcom’s noirish third-person action game has been added to the PlayStation Store today alongside two fantastic games now available to download for the first time.
D3’s Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon was released for the PS3 in 2011 and a downloadable version is now available on the PlayStation Network. Shooting armored alien ants was fun two years ago and it’s still fun today.
Also available today is Playdead’s Limbo. The moody platformer was also originally released for the PS3 in 2011, but today’s re-release is for the Vita. Best of all, it’s a Cross-Buy game with the PS3 version.
More details about the above titles and a few other new releases (including Class of Heroes 2 for the PSP) can be found after the break. And the complete rundown of this week’s new game add-ons can be found at the PlayStation Blog. (more…)

Tetris, Black Ops DLC lead all PlayStation Store purchases in 2011
For over 20 years, Tetris has captivated the world. And in 2011, it sank its tetrahedronal teeth into PS3 gamers all over again as the vintage puzzler managed to outsell every other PSN game on the PlayStation Store. Sing it with me!
Doo, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do, dododo.
The data comes from a Game Informer report listing the ten best-selling PSN games for 2011. Other top ten contenders include the Resident Evil 4 HD remake, the InFamous 2 standalone expansion InFamous: Festival of Blood, and Telltale’s Back to the Future adaptation.
You can find the full list, as well as a look at the bestselling DLC add-ons, after the break. (more…)
Limbo, Final Fantasy Tactics PSP added to PSN; big sale on Borderlands GOTY bundle
The atmospheric puzzle-platformer Limbo was added to the PlayStation Store yesterday. It’ll be joined by light gun shooter Fast Draw Showdown, the zombie defending sim Dead Block, and a pair of NeoGeo classics: Baseball Stars 2 and The King of Fighters ’95. Both NeoGeo titles can be downloaded on the PSP as well.
Also available this week is Kyuiin, a wild PSone Import where you control a sentient vacuum in a side-scrolling shooter battle against dirt. On the PSP side of things, Square Enix has added Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions to the PlayStation Store.
Finally, if you’re a Borderlands fan, or even if you’re not, you might want to know that all Borderlands content will be 50% off this week. And if you’ve never played Borderlands, the store has an even better deal: The Borderlands: Game of the Year bundle for just $14.99! That’s the original game and all four expansions, a package that goes for $60 regularly. Whoa!
Hit the jump for more details on all of this week’s releases and check out the PlayStation.Blog for a complete list of this week’s add-on content and PlayStation Plus perks. (more…)
Limbo dancing onto PSN, Steam very soon
Developer Playdead likely had to build a whole new wing in their headquarters to hold all the awards Limbo won last year. Now, it looks like the XBLA hit will soon be heading to the PC (via Steam) and the PlayStation Network.
Playdead CEO and co-founder Dino Patti confirmed the good news to Joystiq earlier today:
“This might be the second time around we have been waiting for,” Patti said, referencing his quote from last May in which he said, “You won’t see a PS3 or PC version this time around.” Patti said that “Limbo is in production for Steam and PSN, and is coming very soon.” With a release date of “very soon” he predictably said more details would be coming shortly.
Playdead is also hard at work on an original game, but they’re still not ready to talk about it just yet.
