This week, we’re diving into the latest offerings on the Nintendo Switch eShop, where a nostalgic wave of SNES games has landed alongside fresh tunes for the Nintendo music app and some enticing sales.
Kicking things off, the Switch Online library just got bigger with four new classics from Koei’s SNES era. Fans of historic strategy are in for a treat with Nobunaga’s Ambition and Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness. These games take you back to the Sengoku period in Japan, where your mission is to unify the land. Whether you choose to engage in battles, craft cunning alliances, or employ economic tactics, the path to conquest is yours to decide.
Shifting to a different region, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire brings a taste of ancient China. Based on the epic novel, this tactical game throws you into the chaotic Three Kingdoms era, where military might and diplomatic brilliance are your tools for uniting a fractured empire.
Sailing towards Europe, Uncharted Waters: New Horizons immerses players in the Age of Discovery. Navigate the seas seeking treasure and glory, while managing your fleet and besting rivals. It’s a journey of exploration across 130 destinations, where adventure awaits at every port.
In the realm of music, Nintendo’s app is expanding too, albeit in an unexpected fashion. This week features 23 tracks from Kirby and the Forgotten Land, but we’re left wondering where the rest are. Perhaps they’ll find their way into our playlists soon.
Exciting new games are also making their way to the eShop, including Which Way Up: Galaxy Games. We had an insightful chat with Turtle Flip Studio on our latest podcast episode, so be sure to catch that discussion and our detailed review that’s in the works.
