Spike Chunsoft kicked off a large Publisher Sale on the Nintendo eShop, slashing prices by up to 90% on dozens of its titles. With so many great deals running from March 27 to April 10, here are five must-play games for anyone looking to snag a bargain.
AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES
Who Is It For? AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES is a lot like the Zero Escape series and even Ace Attorney. It has visual novel elements mixed in with puzzles and detective sequences. It’s an incredibly well-written game that’s even more relevant since the third game in the series was announced during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct.
Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid Sunset Bundle
Who Is It For? Natsu-Mon is my favorite cozy game of 2024. It’s interesting how it evokes nostalgia, even though my childhood wasn’t much like the one depicted in this game. Players seeking a relaxing escape will go back to a simpler time of lazy summer days. Fans of games like Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing will find plenty to love here.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Who Is It For? Fans of anime, murder mysteries, and fast-paced courtroom battles will want to throw Danganronpa in their cart with AI. It’s the perfect blend of logic puzzle and interactive thriller and a great opportunity for players to see why there are so many cosplays of characters in this ridiculously popular series.
STEINS;GATE ELITE
Who Is It For? Fans of visual novels, science fiction, and just getting emotionally exhausted should play one of the best visual novels of all time. ELITE adds fully animated scenes from the anime adaptation, and while some enjoy the original version’s visuals more than the anime style, this is still an excellent experience.
Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island
Who Is It For? Players who love mystery dungeon games and don’t mind buying the most expensive game on this list will have a blast playing the latest SHiren the Wanderer game. A classic crawler with charming visuals and deep gameplay, Shiren the Wanderer offers tough-but-rewarding dungeon crawls and an enjoyable story.
These discounts and many more are live on the Nintendo eShop in North America and Europe until April 10.
