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

This week’s lineup on the Nintendo Switch eShop has something for everyone, from classic SNES games to fresh tunes for Nintendo Music app enthusiasts. Throw in a few enticing sales and a slew of new releases, and it looks like another thrilling week for gamers.

For those nostalgic for the glory days of the SNES, the Switch Online library is expanding with four gems from Koei’s lineup. Fans of historical strategy will be pleased to see Nobunaga’s Ambition and Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness making a comeback. Originating from 1993 and 1994, these titles invite players to step into the era of Japan’s Sengoku period, aiming to reunify a fragmented nation through tact or force.

Marching further into history, Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire shifts the drama to ancient China. Inspired by the renowned novel, this turn-based strategy game from 1994 invites you to navigate the war-torn landscape of the Three Kingdoms era.

Rounding out the historical journeys is Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, taking players to the Age of Discovery. Released in 1993, this maritime adventure lets you indulge in exploration and trade across European seas.

Adding to the mix, the Nintendo Music app is dropping a partial soundtrack treat this week. Fans of Kirby and the Forgotten Land will be delighted with 23 new tracks. But hold on—where’s the rest of the musical journey? We might have to wait a bit longer for the full collection to make its appearance.

But the excitement doesn’t stop with nostalgia and tunes. The eShop’s also rolling out fresh titles like Which Way Up: Galaxy Games. We recently chatted with Turtle Flip Studio, the minds behind this title, on our latest Pure Nintendo Podcast. Make sure to swing by for our upcoming review!

So, that sums up the action-packed week on the eShop. Which games have caught your eye? Share your current gaming escapades with us!
