It's a great week for indies on the Nintendo eShop, as Fae Farm (September 8) headlines a pretty impressive set of games that will be arriving through September 13. Super Bomberman R 2 and Gunbrella are dropping on that exact day, with MythForce (that Saturday morning cartoon-inspired game) launching just a day earlier on September 13.
In what is decidedly not an indie release, NBA 2K24rounds out...

Rune Factory 3, which debuted in 2009 on DS (wow!), is getting the remaster treatment for Switch. It's out on September 5, and will bring the farming/combat hybrid series back into the fray. So what's new? Well, there's a "newlywed mode," which entails standalone quests based on the 11 people you can marry in the game; as well as a "hell difficulty" setting. Given how much there is to do in the...

Remember Samba de Amigo? No longer relegated to serving as a racing game cameo who was once prominently featured in a franchise of old: the monkey with attitude returns in Samba de Amigo: Party Central on Switch.
Sea of Stars is also out on August 29, and fascinatingly, serves as a prequel to Sabotage Studio's wild 2018 project The Messenger. Blasphemous 2(which we reviewed!) is out today,...

We knew that Red Dead Redemption II would be coming to Switch, and now it's finally here! Whether it's actually worth the (checks notes) $50 Rockstar is charging for it is one thing: but at least it comes with the Undead Nightmare DLC, which is one of the silliest romps the studio has ever created.
In other Switch eShop news, Quake II was surprised-released, and we even reviewed it (on PC)! This...

In a bizarre move, Red Dead Redemptionwill be available on Nintendo Switch for $49.99 on August 17, and uh, the reaction to that price has been "mixed," to put it lightly! I mean, I guess it does have the Undead NightmareDLC and the Game of the Year bonus content, but you can get all of that and more for much cheaper on other platforms. The Switch version (alongside the upcoming PS4 edition)...

WrestleQuest is the big game on offer this week for Nintendo Switch, which provides an RPG-like format for arcade wrestling action. I just recently replayed some WWE games and let me tell you: I'm in the mood for a good brawler! Brotato is another featured game from Nintendo coming your way and features some classic Robotron/modern Vampire Survivors horde-style action.
You have plenty of things...

The time has come once again for another fabled third party Switch exclusive to hit the eShop, and this time, we're getting Disney Ilusion Island. We actually have a full review up for it, so if you're interested, check it out! It's a particularly interesting game in that it offers up four player co-op with difficulty sliders for individual players. In other words, it's made for the whole family.

The time has come for another big fanfare-filled first-party release week! Nintendo is dropping Pikmin 4 on July 21, and there's quite a bit of ruckus being made compared to prior entries. Nintendo is going all-out for this one, with tons of merch, promotions, and advertising. And given our review, it wasn't all in vain!
As a bit of counterprogramming, EA Sports FC 24is also...

Manic Mechanics is the marquee game showcased by Nintendo this week, and it's coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop today. It's part of a long series of "chaotic co-op" titles, where you'll need to repair vehicles for points while dealing with explosions, animal stampedes, and more wacky hazards. So far, it sounds decent! Nintendo managed to get their paws in the door on the...

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is out on several platforms (Switch included!) on July 12, and it's definitely the big dog on campus this coming week. If you don't remember Oxenfree, it's a critical darling adventure gamethat came out in early 2016 and swept a ton of award shows. Now, it's back! The gist is that the sequel is set five years after the original, with a new...

During this post-Tears of the Kingdom slump, the Nintendo Switch eShop is seemingly back on track again, with a release that's...technically first-party, but might just confuse some people. It's none other than Everybody 1-2 Switch, the follow-up to the bizarre March 2017 party game 1-2 Switch. Yes, it was developed and published by Nintendo, and it's out today.

In case you missed it, Pikmin 1 and 2 HD have been re-released on Switch. It was all done in the form of a surprise announcement in a June 2023 Nintendo Direct, as Nintendo tends to do! This is a great day for preservation, as you can pick up Pikmin 1-4 on Switch by the time the latest iteration arrives on July 21. The 3DS sequel/spinoff Hey! Pikminremains...
