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

This week, the Nintendo Switch eShop offers a fresh selection that includes a few nostalgic SNES games, an update to Nintendo’s music app, enticing sales, and some brand-new titles ready for exploration.

The Nintendo Switch Online library is getting richer with the addition of four classic SNES games from the iconic developer Koei. Dive into the strategic depths of “Nobunaga’s Ambition” and its sequel “Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness,” both set during Japan’s tumultuous Sengoku era. Released in the early ’90s, these games challenge you to navigate the complex landscape of feudal Japan, whether through brutal warfare, strategic diplomacy, or cunning economic tactics.

Moving to China, “Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire” offers a turn-based strategy experience steeped in the history of the Three Kingdoms era. This 1994 gem invites you to unify a fractured empire amidst fierce rivalries and battles.

Meanwhile, sail into the high seas with “Uncharted Waters: New Horizons.” Set against the backdrop of 16th-century European exploration, this 1993 release lets you chart your own path as one of six distinct characters, each embarking on their own unique adventure across the globe.

On the musical front, Nintendo’s music app has been bolstered with 23 tracks from “Kirby and the Forgotten Land.” It’s an intriguing addition, though fans might wonder where the rest of the soundtrack is. Perhaps more updates will roll out in the coming months.

As for new arrivals, the eShop lineup includes intriguing titles like “Which Way Up: Galaxy Games.” We got the inside scoop from Turtle Flip Studio, the minds behind the game, in our latest podcast episode—worth a listen if you’re curious about the creative process behind the title.
