More On: Nintendo Download Hyrule Warriors

This week's Nintendo Download is bursting with quality content, starting with Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. I thoroughly enjoyed both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the Zelda-themed hack-n-slash so I'm eager to see how it stacks up on Switch, with Breath of the Wild additions and all DLC included. Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition launches today both at retail and on the eShop.

Indie darling Little Nightmares is getting a complete edition on Switch as well; it's a tale that confronts you with childhood nightmares and challenges you to escape q labyrinth of your own fears. That one dropped on May 18th so it's also on the eShop right now.

Last but not least, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2 are both arriving on Switch today, spanning Mega Man 1 through 10. Now if only we could get a Mega Man X Legacy Collection, we'd be all set.

There is far more to this week's Nintendo Download than I can summarize here, so check the press release after the break for the full details.

Also new this week:

In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch console, the Wii U console and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos. Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch, Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can be used in any Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single Nintendo Account.

Customers in the U.S. and Canada ages 18 and older can also link a PayPal account to their Nintendo Account to purchase digital games and content for the Nintendo Switch system both on-device and from the Nintendo website. Once the accounts are linked, users may also use PayPal as a payment option when buying digital content for the Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems from the Nintendo website.

Remember that Nintendo Switch, Wii U, Wii, New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 2DS XL and Nintendo 2DS feature parental controls that let adults manage some of the content their children can access. Nintendo 3DS players who register a Nintendo Network ID gain access to free-to-start games and free game demos from Nintendo eShop, and also get the latest news and information direct from Nintendo.
