This Week’s eShop Roundup: SNES Classics, Kirby Tracks, and More Sales

This week, the Nintendo Switch eShop offers a delightful mix of classic SNES games, tunes to enjoy via Nintendo’s music app, enticing sales, and a lineup of fresh titles ready to explore.

Expanding the Switch Online library, we’re greeted with four classic entries from Koei, making a grand return from the SNES era. The series introduces "Nobunaga’s Ambition" and its successor "Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness," both releasing in the early ’90s. These games plunge you into Japan’s Sengoku period, where you embark on the challenging quest of bringing the divided regions together once again.

Adding to the nostalgia is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire," a strategic masterpiece set in China, inspired by the famed historical novel it takes its name from. If you’re a fan of turn-based strategy, this 1994 gem will surely capture your interest.

Not stopping there, Koei takes us on a voyage with "Uncharted Waters: New Horizons." Released in 1993, this game lets you navigate the European seas, combining elements of sailing and trading as you explore new horizons.

In more musical news, the Nintendo Music app is hitting the right notes this week with a partial addition to its collection. You’ll find 23 tracks from "Kirby and the Forgotten Land" now at your fingertips, though some melodies remain MIA. Fingers crossed they’ll sail in soon enough!

The eShop doesn’t stop there; it’s rolling out several new game titles, one of which is "Which Way Up: Galaxy Games." For a closer look, check out our chat with Turtle Flip Studio, the game’s developer, in last week’s episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast. Stay tuned for our upcoming review of this unique title.

So, there you have the week’s Nintendo lineup! Which games catch your eye? We’d love to know what’s keeping you glued to your Switch screen this week!
