The weekly Nintendo Download Update for Europe has arrived, delivering one of the most robust lineups of 2017 across Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and Wii U eShops.

Centre stage is the highly anticipated release of Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo’s flagship platformer that redefines the Mario adventure formula for the Switch era. Super Mario Odyssey: A Landmark Arrival on Nintendo Switch Launching on October 27th, Super Mario Odyssey marks a significant milestone for both Nintendo Switch owners and fans of the iconic mascot.

Developed by Nintendo, this latest entry returns Mario to the exploratory, 'sandbox' style 3D gameplay last seen in celebrated titles like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.

The integration of Mario’s new companion, Cappy, introduces fresh mechanics, while features such as local co-op and an accessible Assist Mode make Odyssey suitable for seasoned players and newcomers alike.
