Sonic Mania title screen (SEGA)
Today’s a pretty big day for the Nintendo eShop! Unfortunately, the biggest game honored here today won’t be out until next week, but there’s still plenty to enjoy.
Sonic Mania will roll onto store shelves (and into our hearts) on August 15. I purchased it for the Switch, and you can find my review over yonder!
Flip Wars, like Sonic Mania, has a multiplayer mode. Unlike the side-scroller, however, Flip Wars embraces gameplay based around – you guessed it – flipping panels over. It’s a rush to uncover more panels that correspond to your color, and power-ups exist to help you do so. There are three distinct modes and 12 arenas to compete in.
Severed hails from DrinkBox Studios, developer of the acclaimed Guacamelee! and its re-releases. However, Severed follows Sasha and her talking sword through puzzle-solving and combat. And, owing to the game’s name, you can sever your defeated foes’ body parts and adorn Sasha in them to boost her strength. (Conversely, Sonic and his talking friends augment their skills with traditional items.)
Finally, a Monster Hunter Stories demo graced the Nintendo 3DS family today. The full game will be released on September 8, but you can ease the wait with Mania.
