This Week’s eShop Highlights: SNES Classics, Kirby Melodies, Discounts, and More

This week’s Nintendo Switch eShop update is packed with classic games, new music tracks, tempting discounts, and fresh titles to explore. Let’s dive into the highlights.

The Switch Online library has been enriched with a quartet of new SNES titles from developer Koei. Kicking things off are "Nobunaga’s Ambition" and its successor, "Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness," both of which first appeared in the early ’90s. Set in the tumultuous Sengoku period of Japan, these games invite players to take strategic control and aim to unify the fractured nation.

Next up, we have "Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire," an engaging strategy game that transports players to ancient China, drawing inspiration from the epic historical novel. Here, players navigate the complex landscapes of power and politics during the Second Han Dynasty.

For those with wanderlust, "Uncharted Waters: New Horizons" offers a European perspective. This 1993 release is all about exploration during the Age of Discovery, where you’ll embark on adventures across the seas, trade goods, and seek out new horizons.

On the musical front, Nintendo’s Music app has expanded its catalog, although in a slightly puzzling manner. This week sees the release of 23 tracks from the "Kirby and the Forgotten Land" soundtrack. It’s part of a larger collection that’s expected to complete later this year.

As for new game arrivals, one standout is "Which Way Up: Galaxy Games." We recently had an insightful chat with Turtle Flip Studio, the creators of this intriguing title, on the Pure Nintendo Podcast. Be sure to catch that episode and keep an eye out for our in-depth review.

That’s the scoop for this week’s eShop lineup. We’re curious to hear what games are piquing your interest. What are you diving into? Share your thoughts on what you’ll be playing!
