This Week’s eShop Highlights: SNES Classics, Kirby Tunes, Sales, and More

This week’s eShop lineup for the Nintendo Switch has a little something for everyone. Whether you’re a fan of classic SNES games or on the lookout for fresh releases, there’s plenty to keep gamers entertained. Plus, the Nintendo Music app is getting some new tracks, and there are enticing deals to explore.

Let’s dive into the updates for the Switch Online collection, which is growing thanks to four new SNES era titles from the talented developers at Koei. Up first, we have "Nobunaga’s Ambition" and "Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness," both originating from the early ’90s. These titles transport you to Japan’s Sengoku period, where unifying the regions through battle is your mission.

Another exciting addition is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire," a strategic game inspired by the iconic novel set in ancient China, released in 1994. This turn-based game invites players to engage with the historical complexities of the Three Kingdoms era.

Lastly, there’s "Uncharted Waters: New Horizons," a game that lets you live out your dreams of exploration on the high seas. Released in 1993, this title combines trading and sailing, taking you on an adventurous journey across Europe.

Meanwhile, the Nintendo Music app isn’t taking a backseat. This week, it’s adding a selection of tunes from "Kirby and the Forgotten Land." Although only 23 tracks are available now, who knows when the rest might make their appearance?

And let’s not forget about the host of fresh titles coming to the eShop. Among them, "Which Way Up: Galaxy Games" is generating buzz. In fact, we recently chatted with Turtle Flip Studio, the game’s developer, on our podcast. You won’t want to miss our deep dive review soon.
