Kirby’s Blowout Blast is this week’s headline act if you’re a Nintendo fan. It arrives on the 3DS eShop as part of the little pink blob’s birthday celebrations.
The other top-billed release is That’s You, a social local multiplayer game for PS4. It’s the first release of Sony’s new PlayLink initiative, and if you’ve ever played a Jackbox game you’ll know what to expect – namely very good times anyone in your house with a smartphone can participate in.
Dry July is very much living up to its reputation otherwise, although it’s definitely worth applauding Nintendo’s efforts this week. This is a period so dull that even the prolific PSN has toned it down, but Switch forges ahead with a handful of new digital titles. There’s even a Wii U release. Amazing!
