Introduction
Nintendo’s weekly eShop update brings another sizeable drop of releases and in-game events to Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2.
Headlining this week are Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which lands on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 12 with pre-orders already available, and Mixtape, a 1990s-set narrative adventure released for Nintendo Switch 2.
The update also details timed events in Pokémon Pokopia and Donkey Kong Bananza, plus a long list of smaller eShop arrivals across both platforms.
Top releases and details
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle — The title is billed as a canonical adventure set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Marketing material frames the game as a classic Indy return, noting that when adventure calls, Indiana Jones answers, relying on his whip and ingenuity to unravel the Great Circle’s mysteries.
Originally released in late 2024 on other platforms, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition arrives on May 12, with pre-orders open now.
Mixtape — From the developers of the BAFTA-winning The Artful Escape, Mixtape is a narrative-driven coming-of-age game set in the 1990s.
The game follows three friends on their last night of high school, blending music-heavy storytelling with eclectic gameplay and nostalgic themes.
Mixtape is available on Nintendo Switch 2 now as a simultaneous multi-platform release.
Digital spotlight and in-game events
Nintendo’s update highlights family-friendly picks for Mother’s Day sessions across Switch and Switch 2, including Nintendo Switch Sports and Just Dance 2026, and recommends co-op titles such as Overcooked! 2 and Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Timed events of note: Sableye’s Gem Hunt in Pokémon Pokopia runs through May 14 at 4:59 a.m. local time, during which players can collect red crystal fragments on Dream Islands and exchange them for themed items.
