After last week being on the slower side, Nintendo returns for another small, but exciting week. From New Pokémon Snap, a Miitopia demo, and a free update for Super Mario Party; This is the Nintendo Download for April 29th, 2021!
This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:
New Pokémon Snap
Explore lush scenery on unknown islands to snap photos of lively wild Pokémon in their natural habitats. You might see unexpected expressions or behaviors – Pokémon patrolling their territory, playing, or lurking in out-of-the-way spots. Your observations of Pokémon thriving in the wild may help unravel the truth behind the Illumina phenomenon. The Pokémon pictures you take will also be used to build your very own Pokémon Photodex! When you complete a course, you can adjust the brightness, blur, zoom, and other aspects of your photo in Re-Snap mode. Then, add stickers, frames, and filters for a personal touch and share your favorite photos with family and friends in-game.* New Pokémon Snap will be available on April 30th.
Apex Legends – Legacy
Apex Legends – Legacy is ready to take off on Nintendo Switch. The Legacy update introduces a new permanent game mode, new Legend and new Battle Pass! The new game mode, Arenas, condenses the chaos of 20-squad Battle Royale matches down into more focused 3-vs.-3 combat. Joining the battle is the newest Legend, Valkyrie. The bold, brash, fiery and fierce Kairi Imahara grew up in the shadow of her father’s legacy, but now she’s ready to launch her own. Apex Legends – Legacy will be available May 4.
R-Type Final 2
For the first time in nearly two decades, you can experience R-Type Final 2! Feel the rush of taking down hordes of Bydo with your fleet of R-Type fighters equipped with an arsenal of new and classic wave cannons, force units, bit devices and devastating delta weapons. The Bydo threat is always evolving, as new enemies spawn from the wreckage of fallen foes, and stages are corrupted and altered by the sentient Bydo corruption. R-Type Final 2 unites the explosive action of the original games with modern visuals and gameplay features, making this a must-have title for new and old shoot-’em-up fans alike. R-Type Final 2 will be available April 30.
Super Mario Party – Free Update
