This week’s roundup on the Nintendo Switch eShop brings an exciting mix of nostalgia and fresh content. For fans of classic gaming, a couple of SNES gems are making their way back, accompanied by some enticing deals and a few new releases to keep your gaming roster exciting.
The SNES library on Switch Online is seeing a boost with four additions from the renowned developer Koei. First on the list are Nobunaga’s Ambition and its successor, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness, which first graced consoles in the early ’90s. Both games thrust you into the heart of Japan’s Sengoku era, where your strategic prowess will determine whether you can bring the feuding regions together.
Shifting the scene to historical China, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire is another fascinating turn-based strategy experience, steeped in history and conflict, drawing inspiration from the epic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Last but not least, Uncharted Waters: New Horizons takes you on a nautical adventure based in Europe. Initially released in 1993, this game invites you to explore, trade, and sail the high seas during the Age of Discovery.
In addition to games, Nintendo’s Music app also continues its growth. However, in a curious twist, it’s only added a selection of 23 tracks from the Kirby and the Forgotten Land soundtrack this week. Perhaps the rest will trickle in eventually.
And don’t miss out on the new releases hitting the eShop, like Which Way Up: Galaxy Games. Make sure to listen to Turtle Flip Studio’s insights about the game in last week’s Pure Nintendo Podcast, and keep an eye out for our review coming soon.
That wraps up this week’s eShop updates—quite a lineup to explore. Which game will you dive into? Share your picks and gaming experiences with us!
