Switch eShop

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.

We previously reported that the developers of The Good Life, Hidetaka “SWERY” Suehiro’s new game, were experimenting with a Switch version of their game. It seems like they’re confident that they can turn these expriments into a proper port – the currently running Kickstarter campaign for the game just added a stretch goal for a Switch version of the game. However, this goal will be pretty tough to reach, as the Switch version will be funded should the Kickstarter reach $800,000, but it’s currently sitting at about $660,000 with only 36 hours to go in the campaign. It seems like SWERY and his team are aware of this, however. Here are some statements about the Switch version from the campaign page:

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.
