New mobile games hit the App Store every day, so each week we’ll compile a throwback list of all the best new releases from the past seven days. In the past, the App Store would showcase the same games for a week and then update those features every Thursday. So developers have made a habit of releasing games early on Wednesdays or Thursdays in hopes of getting one of those coveted features. Today, the App Store is constantly refreshed, so the need for everyone to release on the same day has diminished. Nonetheless, we’ve maintained the Wednesday night format, and for years people have been known to check TouchArcade for new game listings during this time. So without further ado, check out the full list of this week’s new games below and let us know which ones you’ll be picking up in the comments section!
