This week, Nintendo Switch eShop has a fresh batch of offerings for gamers. Fans of classic games will be thrilled to see a collection of SNES titles making their way to the platform, and there’s also a selection of new tunes for the Nintendo music app. Additionally, there are enticing sales that you might want to check out, along with a variety of brand-new titles hitting the digital shelves.
Adding to the nostalgia, four new games from developer Koei, which thrived during the SNES era, are now available. One is “Nobunaga’s Ambition,” released originally in 1993, that invites players to step into the chaos of Japan’s Sengoku period. Another is its sequel, “Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness,” which made its debut in 1994, continuing the conquest saga across Japan’s war-torn regions.
Switching geographical focus, “Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire,” comes from the historic backdrop of China, inspired by its namesake novel. This 1994 strategy game lets players engage in turn-based tactical battles among the country’s competing factions.
Sailing west to the European seas, “Uncharted Waters: New Horizons” offers an adventurous twist with its 1993 release featuring sailing and trading during the Age of Discovery. Navigate these historic waters while engaging in quests and sea battles.
The music side of things on the Switch is also getting a boost. Although not complete, the latest update to the Nintendo Music app includes 23 tracks from “Kirby and the Forgotten Land.” Fans are left hoping for the rest to be released soon.
Looking at what else is new, a game titled “Which Way Up: Galaxy Games” is among the arrivals on the eShop. Last week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, we had an insightful chat with its developer, Turtle Flip Studio. If you missed it, give it a listen and watch for our full game review coming soon.
