This week on the Nintendo Switch eShop, there’s a fresh selection of classics from the SNES era, an expansion to Nintendo’s music app, enticing sales, and a slew of new games to explore. Whether you’re into nostalgia or discovering something fresh, there’s plenty to dive into.
Kicking things off, the Switch Online library takes a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of the SNES with four beloved titles, all crafted by the talented minds at Koei. Leading the charge are "Nobunaga’s Ambition" and "Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness," two strategic gems from 1993 and 1994. Set during Japan’s dynamic Sengoku period, players aim to reunify the regions through strategic conquests and clever diplomacy.
Adding a touch of historic intrigue is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire," a strategic masterpiece set in the turbulent times of ancient China, inspired by the classic novel. Meanwhile, if maritime adventure piques your interest, "Uncharted Waters: New Horizons" will take you on a sailing and trading journey from 1993, set against the backdrop of Europe’s Age of Discovery.
Over on the Nintendo Music app, there’s a quirky yet exciting addition. Fans of "Kirby and the Forgotten Land" can now enjoy 23 tracks from its soundtrack. It’s a partial release, leaving us curious about when the rest will drop. You might find yourself humming these tunes well beyond your gaming sessions.
As for new games landing on the eShop, one title to keep an eye on is "Which Way Up: Galaxy Games." Last week, we had the pleasure of chatting with the developers from Turtle Flip Studio on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, so be sure to check out our insights and watch for an upcoming review.
