There's a few big headliners today thanks to the surprise Nintendo Direct Mini. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 was set to be the only major release, but plans have changed due to mysterious behind the scenes marketing machinations! Panze...

I know there are a lot of dirt-cheap indie games on the Nintendo Switch eShop, and I know you have a bunch of stuff to play right now, but hear me out: Pikuniku is great, and you should grab it for $0.99. For starters, the game normally cos...

Nintendo has yet another big week in store for us: and just in time! This week the eShop is hosting Animal Crossing: New Horizons, its biggest first-party release in quite a while that is sure to keep folks busy for weeks, months and years ...

Just in time for the western theatrical release of My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, the second major arena brawler game in the My Hero Academia line is arriving this week. The other big releases include La Mulana 1 and 2. And where bac...

Here's a quick PSA in case you find yourself unable to connect to the Switch's store this afternoon: The Nintendo eShop is going offline for routine maintenance from 1pm through 5pm Pacific.  That's why you can't buy new games or downl...

After a couple of gigantic weeks with 30-40 games dumped on the eShop all at once, the storefront is taking it easy. Perhaps no one wants to compete with Pokemon. Speaking of, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, a Switch remake of...

Wow, it's a hot week for the Nintendo eShop! As I've been saying like a broken record for weeks now we've been getting over the post-holiday slump, but now we're back in full gear. There's 46 games dropping on the eShop this week, a far cry...

While many of us are planning to play as much Doom Eternal or Animal Crossing: New Horizons as possible on March 20, 2020, some fans are going to spend the busy day hunting down Mother Demon in Doom 64. Nightdive and id Software's port of t...

The time has come: nearly every genre and facet of the eShop is getting some love today. Even the Wii U! The huge game this week is indubitably Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition, which comes with all sorts of extras. The Mega Man Zero/ZX Lega...

It's an odd week for the Switch eShop and a make-or-break one, depending on how this wacky Level-5 headliner goes. Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold, a reworked Switch port of a franchise that started back in 2016, is the main squeeze, ...

Nintendo sure has its own way of running the Nintendo Switch Online classic game library. A new batch with four games – two on NES, two on SNES – is joining the service on February 19, 2020. On the Super Nintendo front, subscr...

Animal Crossing: New Horizons feels a little more real today now that pre-loading has gone live. If you pre-purchase (or use a voucher) to buy Animal Crossing on the Nintendo Switch eShop, you can download the game ahead of time – and...

Welcome to another semi-packed week on the Nintendo eShop. There's a major headliner here: Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, which arrived back in November of 2018 on other platforms. CD Projekt Red smartly knows that they have their hooks ...

Oh hey, another full week for the Nintendo eShop! Naturally all of the love is for the Switch this week (sorry 3DS and Wii U!), as Nintendo and third parties alike open the flood gates for what is assuredly going to be a packed 2020. The he...

Between the books, comics, Netflix show, mainline games, and spin-offs, it's a particularly good time to be a fan of The Witcher. If you haven't had your fill yet and you need something new to play on your Nintendo Switch, you should seriou...

We're back, baby! The holiday lull is officially over as the eShop is back in full swing. Sega is even getting in on the action with two new "Ages" titles, as well as a pair of 3DS games and over 30 other titles. The big-ticket releases are...

Now we're talking! There was a huge slump from mid-December through now, but Nintendo, like the rest of the industry, is kicking into high(ish) gear starting this week. The big draw is Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE Encore, which arrives tom...

The eShop, like most digital games marketplaces, is bursting at the seams with junk that no one wants. When Nintendo discounts hundreds of Switch games at a time, those numbers are naturally inflated by the bargain bin duds that need to be ...

After a huge Pokemon info dump this morning, it's back to business as usual for the eShop. Those Sword and Shield expansions aren't coming until later this year, but for now you have a ton of Atelier games to sift through as ...

Ignorance is bliss. I'm perfectly happy not knowing how old my brain is, thank you very much. But maybe you're curious, or you're just in the mood for a pleasant little mental warmup. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training is back this week &n...

If you thought last week was a chill period for the eShop, you ain't seen nothin' yet. This week Nintendo and pretty much everyone else is biding their time to get through the holiday season after every already spent their pre-holiday cash ...

Type-MOON's Fate franchise is a many-headed beast, but it's not all Holy Grail Wars and gacha hellscapes. Sometimes it's just a bunch of superpowered friends gathering for a nice meal. That's the premise of Today's Menu for the Emiya F...

The latest sale on the Nintendo Switch eShop is all about quality, not quantity. A dozen of the "best-selling indie games of 2019" are running deals until December 28, 2019 at 11:59pm Pacific. Nintendo even put together a highlight reel und...

In what is easily one of the most (understandably) barebones eShop release weeks to date, there's very few actual games being released on Switch, and none on other platforms. The highlight is easily the arrival of two more games in the ...

When Nintendo first entered the fray of online storefronts with the Wii Shop Channel, you were lucky to get one great game a month on the service. The scarcity of high-profile, critically acclaimed titles helped standouts like World of Goo,...
