Nintendo Download Update: Drag x Drive, Shantae Advance, and TMNT: Tactical Takedown Launch on Switch 2 eShop

The latest Nintendo Download update for North America delivers a strong lineup of new games, giving Nintendo Switch 2 owners exciting titles to experience on the eShop.

Among the newly featured releases are Drag x Drive, Shantae Advance, and TMNT: Tactical Takedown—three unique games reflecting the diverse content available for the Switch 2 platform.

Drag x Drive, developed by Nintendo, stands out as a fresh addition, launching on August 14 for $19.99.

This innovative title draws inspiration from a blend of wheelchair basketball, rugby, motocross, and skateboarding, creating a next-generation approach to 3-on-3 sports gaming.

Drag x Drive leverages the full capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2’s updated Joy-Con controllers, enabling players to simulate movement by sliding both Joy-Cons forward to accelerate, or rotating a single controller for sharp turns.

The game intensifies the competitive experience with integrated motion controls for shooting, passing, dunking, and bonus scoring through acrobatic tricks. In addition to its signature team sports action, Drag x Drive offers a variety of activities such as the Circuit Sprint racing minigame and specialized shooting challenges, contributing to replay value and dynamic gameplay.

Since its launch, the title has garnered attention in both user polls and expert reviews, emphasizing Nintendo’s continued push for inclusive, diverse, and mechanically rich games on their flagship hardware. Another anticipated release, Shantae Advance, also joins the eShop lineup.

Building on the critically acclaimed Shantae series, known for its vibrant animation and engaging platforming, Shantae Advance offers fans more content from developer WayForward.

Alongside Shantae Advance, fans of classic action will find TMNT: Tactical Takedown, expanding the ninja turtle legacy with new tactical gameplay for Switch 2 aficionados. Fangamer, a renowned distributor for indie and classic game merchandise, has supported promotional efforts for these launches, further elevating visibility within the gaming community.

The latest Nintendo Download update also highlights several games that launched during or shortly after the Indie World showcase, broadening the choices for players seeking something new on the eShop. For players looking to engage with recent releases, the Nintendo eShop on Switch 2 presents a wealth of opportunities.

As always, Nintendo encourages user interaction through community polls and discussions, strengthening the relationship between developer and player. With robust releases like Drag x Drive, Shantae Advance, and TMNT: Tactical Takedown, the Nintendo Switch 2 content library continues to expand, reinforcing the console’s reputation as a hub for both innovation and nostalgia.
