Nintendo eShop Download Update: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Braid Anniversary Edition, and More Hit Switch

Nintendo Switch users in North America can look forward to a substantial wave of new content as the latest Nintendo eShop download update goes live, bringing an exciting array of over 40 new titles to the platform.

Among this week's highlights are the highly anticipated Lorelei and the Laser Eyes from Annapurna Interactive and Simogo, and the return of an indie classic with Braid, Anniversary Edition by Thekla. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, available now for $24.99, stands out as a non-linear puzzle adventure that challenges players with over 100 handcrafted puzzles set within a mysterious, surreal European hotel.

Developed by Simogo—the team known for their critically acclaimed Sayonara Wild Hearts—the game promises a third-person journey blending shifting mechanics, changing perspectives, and a story steeped in illusion and enigma.

Launching first on console via Nintendo Switch, this title has already generated considerable buzz among puzzle and narrative adventure fans. Another major highlight this week is Braid, Anniversary Edition, which released on May 14 for $17.99.

Thekla’s remaster brings Jonathan Blow’s acclaimed 2008 indie platformer to a new generation, with fully repainted high-resolution visuals, new sound effects, and in-depth audio commentary from the creators.

Players once again manipulate time to solve challenging platform puzzles while traversing a narrative about memory, regret, and searching for answers.

The Anniversary Edition not only updates the visuals for modern hardware but also offers new content for returning fans and newcomers alike. The Nintendo eShop lineup this week continues with a wide assortment of genres, from the detective-inspired 3 minutes Mystery 2 to the intense action of Morbid: The Lords of Ire and My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery, an open-world adventure suitable for younger players.

Additionally, bundles such as Raw Fury’s Kingdom Heritage Bundle and Kingdom Imperial Collection bring strategic classics and fresh experiences to strategy fans. Reflecting Nintendo’s expanding reach, the Nintendo Switch library continues to serve an incredibly diverse gaming community.

Since its launch in March 2017, the Nintendo Switch has grown its eShop to feature thousands of games, with indie studios and established publishers alike finding success on the portable console.

Notably, the eShop is frequently updated with both new releases and remastered classics, giving players unprecedented access to a broad spectrum of interactive experiences. This week’s poll of Nintendo fans reflects strong anticipation for headline releases, with Braid: Anniversary Edition commanding 24% of votes and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes following closely at 15%, according to early data.

As ever, Switch players are encouraged to cast their votes and share their top picks through the eShop’s digital community. For those looking to explore further, titles like Arcade Archives Tutankham, Paper Trail, and Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER also make their Switch debuts alongside a host of innovative indie projects, party games, and challenging puzzlers. With its latest eShop update, Nintendo continues to reinforce its commitment to offering varied content and supporting diverse developers, cementing the Nintendo Switch as a leader in digital gaming distribution across North America.
