The Switch eShop remains relentless, featuring another bumper bounty of new releases. Next week is looking busy too, with Wolfenstein II, Crash Bandicoot, Harvest Moon, Inside and Limbo all due.

Mario Tennis Aces (£49.99) is yet another Switch smash, almost guaranteed to break the UK top five next Monday. Scores so far are a mixture of 7s, 8s and 9s with only some shortcomings with the story mode letting it down. It’s a touch unfair and unforgiving, apparently.

Minecraft (£19.99) is back as well, now featuring the latest updates like Aquatic, cross-platform play and access to a multitude of content through the Minecraft Marketplace. If you’re wondering, players who already own Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition can download this new version free.

Then we have The Lost Child (£49.99) a JRPG that has gained mixed reviews due to cribbing a few too many ideas from similar games. Clocking in at full-price, it may be worth mulling it over before opening your wallet.

Nintendo Life are one of the few outlets to review the Flashback (£17.99) re-release. “If you were too young to play this the first time, this package will give you the best possible way to experience it with current hardware. For veteran gamers, Flashback has lost nothing of what made it special all those years ago,” they said before handing out an 8/10.

D/Generation : The Original (£14.99) gets another re-release too. As the name suggests, it’s the original iteration. Fans allegedly demanded it. Alternatively, there’s Moorhuhn Remake. Remember Moorhun? Huge in Germany.

2D “splatformer” INK (£8.09) hasn’t gone down as well as the majority of this week’s releases, with scores mostly being mediocre. “The game’s simplicity can get tiresome in long sessions,” warned TheSixthAxis.

Whimsical co-op puzzler Pode (£22.49) looks a better way to blow your cash. “With its subtle, relaxing and appropriate musical score, gloriously soft visuals and a simple yet emotional story, Pode succeeds in offering a generous and humble cooperative yet challenging 8-10 hours of content that will shine brightly,” was Nintendo Life’s verdict.

Grab the Bottle (£4.49) provides physics-based puzzle fun at a much cheaper price, but sadly it’s a simple case of trial and error. Try, try, and try again until you finally get the right path. We awarded it 6/10 earlier this week.

Here’s a round-up of the remaining new releases, demos and discounts:

Vegas Party – £22.49
