A new pair of games is now available in the Nintendo Switch Eshop. Today, Sega’s 2D Sonic revival, Sonic Mania, and the action-adventure game Troll and I join the console’s library.
Sonic Mania marks a long-awaited return to form for Sega’s series. The new 2D title returns to Sonic’s glory days, featuring the same visuals and gameplay as his iconic Genesis adventures. Sonic Mania retails for $20 and is also available today on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (the PC release was pushed back to August 29).
The second new release, Troll and I, is an action-adventure game set in the Nordic wilderness. Players take on the role of Otto, a young boy who befriends the eponymous troll and must work with the giant to navigate the environment and evade hunters. The game was originally launched for PS4, Xbox One, and PC this past March.
Other new games are scheduled to arrive in the Nintendo Switch Eshop this Thursday, August 17. The console’s next major release, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, launches on August 29. That game sees Mario and friends team up with Ubisoft’s Rabbids for a wonderfully challenging XCOM-style strategy experience. Those still looking to pick up a Switch have a chance to snag one from GameStop since all of the retailer’s stores across the US will have limited quantities of the console on sale today.
