Nintendo Updates – October 31, 2024 – Announcements

Honestly, the most shocking part of compiling this list is that it’s actually being shared right on schedule this time!

Over the last few days, while we didn’t miss out on any groundbreaking announcements from last week, a notable milestone was reached in North America with 79 game releases, followed closely by Europe with 78. However, this upcoming week is already looking too full for comfort with a whopping 52 launches in NA. Brace yourselves, folks, because here’s what’s in store. The standout release everyone’s buzzing about is Farmagia—a fresh take on farming sims from the notable XSEED/Marvelous team. However, if you’re not keen on mud and fields, there are plenty of high-octane alternatives to keep you entertained, including a trio of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. titles, a spruced-up version of Shadows of the Damned, or even a remake of the classic Clock Tower.

Not to mention, shoot ’em up fans are in for a treat with some Saturn classics making a comeback alongside a brand-new Raiden entry, which curiously doesn’t bear Taito’s usual stamp. Now, let’s dive into the upcoming releases for North America, Europe, and Japan this week.
