Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, Ikaruga, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week
It’s another big week for the Nintendo eShop as two of the greatest games of all time come to the Switch alongside a handful of new releases.
Capcom is bundling together a dozen Street Fighter games in this Tuesday’s Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. The collection features the original Street Fighter, as well as Street Fighter II (plus its four revisions), Street Fighter III (plus its two revisions), and all three games in the Alpha sub-series.
This week’s eShop update is also a big one for fans of 2D shooters, who will have the opportunity to download Treasure’s Ikaruga for their Switch. The beloved polarity-switching shooter regularly appears on “Best Games of All Time” lists, and it’s available to purchase beginning today.
Switch owners who also consider themselves retro gaming fans can also look forward to the ninja platforming of N++, the Castlevania-inspired Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, and tower defense shenanigans of PixelJunk Monsters 2.
On Tuesday, Switch owners will also be able to download Natsume latest farming sim, Harvest Moon: Light of Hope – Special Edition, and a new RPG from NIS America, Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory.
Finally this week, Dillon the Armadillo makes his 3DS debut in Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers, a post-apocalyptic western where players must defend the people from an invasion of transforming rock monsters.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including Knights of Pen and Paper, Legend of Kay Anniversary, Punch Club, and more) after the break. (more…)

N++: Ultimate Edition will leap onto the Switch on May 24
The parade of critically-acclaimed indies in development for the Switch continues to get longer. This morning, Metanet Software confirmed that N++: Ultimate Edition will be released for Nintendo’s newest console on May 24.
Players take control of a graceful ninja in N++: Ultimate Edition, and they’ll need to stealthily avoid machine gun turrets, missiles, and whirring buzzsaws if they want to steal enough gold:
N++ is a fast-paced, momentum-based platformer where you get to play as a badass parkour-loving ninja, narrowly escaping enemies and collecting gold in sci-fi landscapes.
Smooth, sleek and thrilling. 4,340 hand-crafted, finely tuned levels in three game modes: Solo, Co-op, and Race. Over 100 colour schemes and 6+ hours of the coolest electronic music the world has to offer. Get ready!
Cooperative play is available for up to four players in N++: Ultimate Edition across all of the game’s 4,340 levels. A new trailer for the minimalist platformer’s Switch debut has been embedded above.
Forza Motorsport 7, Inversus Deluxe, N++, more added to Xbox Store
It’s another strong week for the Xbox Games Store, and nearly a dozen new Xbox One games are now available to download through the digital storefront as part of its midweek update.
Leading the pack is Microsoft and Turn 10’s Forza Motorsport 7, the latest addition to their massively popular racing simulation series. It’s joined by a pair of minimalist indies (Inversus Deluxe and N++), as well as Joe Madureira’s Battle Chasers: Nightwar, and Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen.
Telltale Games is also back this week with another adventure for the Dark Knight… Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode 2: The Pact.
You can learn more about all of today’s additions to the Xbox Games Store after the break. (more…)

Two beloved indie games will have new platforms to call home in the next few weeks. N++ will soon make the leap to the Xbox One, while Inversus will shoot up the Xbox One and the Switch in the very near future.
You can find out exactly when both games will launch (and watch two new trailers) after the break. (more…)
N++ is finally coming to the Xbox One this Summer
N++ made its debut on the PS4 in 2015, and a Steam release followed a year later. The massive platformer continued to gain fans throughout 2016, and just this past April, it was upgraded to an Ultimate Edition on both platforms with the addition of new levels, color schemes, and a Hardcore Mode.
But there’s still more work to be done at Metanet Software, as the developer announced that N++ will finally make an appearance on the Xbox One this Summer. The game will launch on Microsoft’s console in its Ultimate Edition form, complete with all 60 color schemes and 4,340 “hand-crafted” levels.
More information about N++’s Xbox One launch will be announced at a later date.
N++ Ultimate Edition upgrade is now available for PC and coming soon to PS4
Metanet Software has announced they’re expanding N++ with 2,170 new levels (bringing the total number of levels to 4,340), 60 new color schemes, and an ultra-challenging Hardcore Mode. These new features will be added to the side-scrolling platformer as part of a free “Ultimate Edition” upgrade, which is available now for PC players.
To celebrate the release of the N++ Ultimate Edition, Metanet is slashing the price of the game on Steam this weekend. From now until Sunday, April 23, at 1:00 PM, you can purchase the game for 50% off the regular price. And to further entice you, the developer has released a new trailer for the game, which has been embedded above.
The N++ Ultimate Edition is also in the works for the PS4, and it’ll be available for Sony’s console “soon.”
Metanet will release N++ for PC on August 25
Metanet Software has announced that N++ will be available to download for the PC (through Steam) beginning on August 25. The brutally-difficult platformer originally launched for the PS4 last year and it’ll bring the same side-scrolling action to the PC… and I mean that literally. N++’s Level Editor is cross-platform compatible, so PC players will have more than 10,000 custom levels to choose from next week. That’s on top of the 2,360 levels designed by the developers themselves.
“We’re so thrilled to bring N++ to the PC where the series began,” said Mare Sheppard, Metanet’s Programmer, Designer, Artist and Creative Lead. “We’ve already seen some impressive user creations, and can’t wait to see what creativity the PC-gaming community has up their sleeves.”
The developer also released a new trailer highlighting the Level Editor, which can also be used to design levels for N++’s Co-Op Mode and Competitive Mode (both of which support up to four players).
N++ will be available through Steam for $14.99, but if you purchase it within the first week, you’ll receive a 20% discount.
N++ is in development for Steam and Metanet is “looking at other platforms” as well
Metanet Software’s Raigan Burns recently put in an appearance at NeoGAF to confirm that N++ will be available for the PC (through Steam) very soon. According to the developer, there’s still “a few more months of work” to be done before the devilish clever platformer can be released for the PC, but the team is also “looking at other platforms” (presumably the Xbox One) too:
The good news: we’ve found a new programmer, and they’ve been working on porting N++ to Steam for the past month or so. There are still a few more months of work — we want to add all of the planned post-launch-update stuff that got put on hold when our team imploded — but we will definitely be bringing N++ to Steam. We’re still looking at other platforms too.
Anyway, thanks for your continued support…
N++ originally launched for the PS4 last Summer, and it was honored in our 2015 Golden Pixel Awards with a place on “The Apocalypse List” as “[one of] the games we’d keep playing if we had all the time in the world…”
