News: This week has a nice selection of indie games for you to choose from covering a wide variety of genres.

Nintendo has revealed what this week’s update looks like on the eShop and it has a good amount of indie titles to select from. That said the selection seems to be a bit smaller this week so you won’t get overloaded with all of the choices that are presented to you. There are four featured titles this week to go along with all of the other releases that will be arriving over the next few days. Each game that you see listed below is available right now unless otherwise noted.

Mini Motorways

Have you ever been stuck in traffic and wished you could do something to fix it? In Mini Motorways, the city’s traffic problems are in your hands. Draw and build roads to create a bustling metropolis, redesigning your city to keep the traffic flowing while carefully managing upgrades, like highways and roundabouts, to meet changing demands. How long can you keep the cities of the world moving?

Soundfall

This fast-paced, rhythm-based dungeon crawler combines looter-shooter action with musical gameplay that’ll keep you tapping your toes. You are a Guardian of Harmony – a musical genius transported to the world of Symphonia by the Composers to battle the forces of Discord. Time your actions to the music to increase your power with more than 500 pieces of equipment for skill customization and thousands for loot combinations. Venture out solo or with up to four players* to fight through dynamically generated levels and encounters inspired by the music – there are more than 140 songs to choose from giving opportunities for many playthroughs.

OPUS: Echo of Starsong - Full Bloom Edition

Seek out elusive asteroids, engage with a colorful cast of characters and unravel the mystery of starsongs in this narrative puzzle game. Eda, a girl who can hear mysterious sound waves known as starsongs, crosses paths with a young man in search of their source. Together, they venture out to the heart of space to solve an ancient myth.

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees

Master a dynamic movement system to swing, slide and somersault through a hand-painted jungle.
