This week’s Nintendo eShop downloads are pretty light again, but if you’re looking for something that’ll change the way you think about how to progress in games, definitely check out The Bridge. The physics-based puzzler will blow your mind as you navigate through environments that look almost like M.C. Escher paintings.
Also don’t forget that Nintendo is hosting another Splatoon Testfire event this weekend, so if you don’t own Splatoon but would like to play it you’ll be able to do so this weekend for a few hours a day. The demo is available for download right now so jump on that so you’ll be ready when the event begins.
