Introduction
Mina the Hollower, the retro-inspired action-RPG from Yacht Club Games, is the headline release on this week's Nintendo eShop slate.
The developer behind Shovel Knight launched Mina the Hollower on May 29 for both Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2, marking a significant weekend release for players looking for pixel-perfect exploration and boss encounters.
Alongside this, Nintendo's weekly roundup highlights a range of releases and events across Switch, Switch 2, and mobile platforms.
Key releases and dates

The top-down action-adventure emphasizes exploration, combat, and a cast of unusual characters.
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (Activision): Announced for Nintendo Switch 2 with a launch date of Oct. 23.
Nintendo noted the title will support cross-play and cross-progression and that more pre-order details will be provided this summer.
- FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH: Available June 3 on Nintendo Switch 2, as listed in the eShop roundup.

Paraphrased developer and publisher notes
Nintendo framed the Call of Duty announcement as a sign of continued third-party investment in the Switch ecosystem, saying the port underscores growing support for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
Nintendo also described Pictonico as an inventive mobile title that uses photos from players' devices to create minigames; the company noted the title is free-to-start but requires purchases to access the full set of volumes.
Conclusion
This week's eShop update underscores a busy period for Nintendo platforms: a flagship indie launch from Yacht Club Games, a major AAA franchise coming to Switch 2 later this year, mobile experimentation with Pictonico, and ongoing events like Tetris 99.
For players tracking new releases on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, the coming weeks offer a mix of nostalgia-driven indies and large-scale licensed launches.
