This week’s European Nintendo Downloads are as follows:

Switch Retail

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze – €59.99 (available May 4)

Death Road to Canada

Death Road to Canada was last intended for launch on April 25. But following the recent tragedy in Toronto, the team felt that it would make sense to delay it and move the release date.

Ukiyo Publishing has now passed along a note confirming that Death Road to Canada’s new date is May 8. That means you’ll be able to purchase the title in just a few days time through the eShop. Not much longer now, fortunately.

Luigi's Mansion - Nintendo 3DS

Grezzo is developing the 3DS remake of Luigi’s Mansion, according to a new classification from Australia.

The remake was announced during the last Nintendo Direct in March. At the time, many assumed that Next Level Games was leading the project since it looks to be using the same engine as Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. While the studio could still be involved in some capacity, the Australian rating indicates that Grezzo is in charge.

The Fall is heading to Switch, a listing on the eShop reveals. Moreover, it’s just a week away, as a release date is set for May 10.

You may recall that The Fall Part 2: Unbound came to Switch in February. But until now, there hasn’t been a way to play the first entry on Nintendo’s latest console. As we now know, that’ll be changing next week.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana

This week, NIS America hosted a length stream for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. You can watch the recording below for an hour of footage.

One important point confirmed during the stream: Ys VIII runs at 30 frames per second on Switch. There has been some debate about the action RPG possibly running at 60 FPS, but NIS America has confirmed otherwise.
