The Switch eShop has awoken from its Christmas slumber. It isn’t back up to full speed just yet, though, with fewer releases than usual – hence why this round-up is remarkably similar to our multiformat round-up from Monday. Those seeking a role-playing fix have two to consider. Fairy Tail: Dungeons is a deck-building roguelike, based …
Christmas always sees a slew of shovelware on the Switch eShop, and this year is no exception. The situation is even worse than usual as there are some rather brazen imitations of popular games, such as CloverPit Gamble – a near identical clone of the excellent CloverPit. Also lined up are feeble copies of PowerWash …
A glut of new releases hit the Switch and Switch 2 this week, with the latter gaining 2017’s acclaimed RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2, fresh from last week’s announcement of a new entry in the series. It sees a resolution and frame rate jump over the Switch version, but as noted by Nintendo Life, it …
The Switch eShop is a hubbub of activity this week with the last of 2025’s anticipated releases due. Next week has a couple of releases of note too, including Limited Run’s Tomba 2 re-release, whereas Christmas week currently appears to be little more than a dumping ground for shovelware. Until then, let the good time …
Christmas has come early to the Switch eShop, with a smorgasbord of major new releases hitting both consoles. Next week is looking reasonably busy too, with a handful of games generating a buzz. After that, December is a bit of a mystery, with the only thing guaranteed being the slew of seasonal shovelware. Oh boy. …
For a second time this month the Switch 2 finds itself caught between two major first-party titles, with Kirby Air Riders having just released and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond lined-up for next Thursday. Publishers aren’t too wary of Samus stealing the limelight it seems, as next week is looking like a corker for new releases. …
Kirby games tend to release towards the end of a Nintendo platform’s life, offering carefree experiences aimed at a more casual and less-discerning audience. This stance has changed over the years however, with the best example of this being this week’s Kirby Air Riders, launching barely six months into the Switch 2’s lifecycle. While …
The Switch 2 has found itself between two major first-party releases, with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment having just launched and Kirby Air Riders out next Thursday. Things might be patchy on the PS5 and Xbox this winter, but Switch owners are definitely “eating good” – and Metroid Prime 4 is still to come. The …
If you’re looking for something a little different, this week’s line-up of new Switch eShop releases has you covered, with plenty of offbeat curios. There’s a new major Switch 2 release as well, in the form of the Koei Tecmo developed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. What began as a mere Dynasty Warriors spin-off has …
The next major Switch 2 release, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, is only a week away. If you’re after something to keep your fingers busy until then, plenty of rotary telephones are available on eBay. Failing that, the Switch 2 gains four new releases this week. Three of these are also available on the original …
The Switch 2 gains four new releases this week. EA’s Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is however available on the original Switch too, which makes sense considering it’s merely a HD remaster of the 2D tactical garden-based battler. Did it need remastering? Probably not, considering the cartoony visuals haven’t aged much. It seems this is just …
Who dares take on a new mainline Pokémon game? Not many publishers, that’s for sure, as it’s a noticeably quieter week than usual for the Switch eShop. Reviews of the Lumiose City set Pokémon Legends: Z-A dropped on Tuesday afternoon, and while it hasn’t gained universal praise, the 81% Metacritic score isn’t something to sniff …
The Switch 2 gains three new releases this week, all of which are reviewing well. Those sticking with the original Switch are well catered for too, making for a week where nobody is left out. Yooka-Replaylee sees the 2017 Banjo-Kazooie inspired 3D platformer retold, featuring more content, new challenges, an extended soundtrack and a bunch …
Nintendo begins to assemble their autumn line-up this week with the release of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Switch and Switch 2. That’s set to be followed by Pokémon Legends: Z-A on 16th October, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and Kirby Air Riders in November, before ending 2025 with Metroid Prime …
Here comes a new challenger! If it wasn’t for Nintendo’s Switch 2 releases of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, Supergiant Games’ roguelite Hades II would be sitting pretty as the highest rated game of 2025, with its current 95% Metacritic score – formed from dozens of 10/10s – leapfrogging both …
