All Articles: Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2

Diablo III, World of Final Fantasy, Transistor, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week

“Beloved Game Comes to the Switch” has been a tried-and-true throughout the entire year and eight months of the console’s existence. It’s time to dust it off once again this week as a handful of well-loved games will finally make their way to the Switch in the latest Nintendo eShop update.

Blizzard’s Diablo III: Eternal Collection leads the way this week, and it’ll be available to download through the eShop beginning tomorrow, November 2. The Switch version of Diablo III will include the original Action RPG, as well as the Reaper of Souls expansion, the Rise of the Necromancer Pack, and an exclusive Ganondorf Armor Set.

Square Enix’s World of Final Fantasy Maxima will launch later this week (on Tuesday, November 6), and it’s an enhanced and updated rendition of the crossover RPG. Players will be able to recruit a wide variety of Champions from Final Fantasy lore and do battle with “Mirages” of a multitude of monsters from the franchise.

Yet another RPG will make its Switch debut this week as Supergiant Games brought Transistor to Nintendo’s console beginning today. Transistor blends Supergiant’s trademark audio wizardry into a game that blends together “thoughtful strategic planning” with action-packed sword swinging. Also available to download today is a pair of acclaimed indies from Cellar Door Games, including Rogue Legacy, a “hereditary” roguelite, and Full Metal Furies, a new take on the multiplayer brawler.

If you’re all RPGed out at the moment, Bandai Namco’s Taiko No Tatsujin: Drum N Fun! will roll onto the Switch beginning Friday, November 2.

Finally this week, Double Fine surprise-launched Grim Fandango Remastered for the Switch just in time for the adventure game’s 20th anniversary and the remaining developers from Telltale Games will bring Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 to the Switch on November 6.

You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including Moonlighter, Brawlhalla, Carnival Games, and more) after the break. (more…)

Here’s a trailer for the season finale of Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2… which launches on December 19

Telltale Games has announced that Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 will come to an end on December 19. That’s because the season finale, Episode 5: Above and Beyond, will be released next week for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile devices. Naturally, Jesse and friends will need to perform some bigtime heroics to make it out alive:

The home Jesse left so long ago — Beacontown — has succumbed to the iron rule of the Admin. Menacing guards patrol the streets, anxious citizens tremble in fear, and worst of all, everyone believes Jesse is responsible thanks to the Admin’s devious disguise. In order to save the city, the real Jesse must find a way to zap the Admin’s powers and take him down once and for all…

And as long as you’re all caught up, a new trailer for Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 – Episode 5: Above and Beyond has been embedded above.
