The Nintendo Switch eShop update for North America has officially landed for July 2024, delivering a robust lineup of new titles and retro classics for fans to explore.

Nintendo continues to bolster its digital platform with diverse options for every type of player, from competitive speedrunners to roguelike enthusiasts and puzzle solvers.

This week’s highlighted games promise fresh challenges and nostalgic experiences, further cementing Nintendo’s commitment to supporting the vibrant Switch community. Headlining the new releases is 'Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition' (Nintendo), launched on July 18 for $29.99.

Inspired by the iconic Nintendo World Championships competitions, this title brings over 150 bite-sized challenges drawn from 13 timeless NES classics, including 'Super Mario Bros.' and 'Kirby’s Adventure'.

Players can test their speedrunning skills against global ghost data, compete with friends locally, or strive to set new personal bests—both at home and on the move.

This release follows the tradition of Nintendo celebrating its rich retro catalog, now optimized for the portable power of the Switch. Another major arrival is 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate' (Super Evil Mega Corp), debuting July 17 at $29.99.

Marking the Turtles’ first foray into the roguelike genre, this game thrusts players into reality-bending adventure as they fight through ever-changing levels packed with randomized upgrades, shifting layouts, and fierce boss encounters.

The narrative centers on the heroic quartet’s quest to rescue their mentor, Splinter, from the clutches of the Foot Clan.

Super Evil Mega Corp, notably known for their work on competitive mobile titles, brings their expertise to the Nintendo Switch, offering a fresh take on a beloved franchise. Puzzle fans can anticipate 'SCHiM' (Extra Nice), available July 18 for $24.99.

This unique platformer lets players take on the role of a 'schim'—the soul of objects and beings—tasked with jumping through shadows in intricate, lively environments to reunite with its human companion.

Its inventive puzzle mechanics and visually soothing aesthetic make it a standout among this week’s new eShop additions. For fans of action and simulation, Bandai Namco’s 'ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN DELUXE EDITION' launched for Switch on July 11 at $59.99.

This marks a significant milestone, bringing the acclaimed flight combat series to Nintendo hardware.

Players will pilot advanced aircraft with intuitive controls in a bid to dominate the skies, benefiting from decades of franchise refinement on a platform known for its versatility. Other notable releases include: - 'CONSCRIPT' (Team17, out July 23), a survival horror set during World War I that channels the spirit of classic genre experiences. - A diverse slate of indie and retro-inspired titles such as 'A Lost Note', 'Arcade Archives TINKLE PIT', and 'Frogurai', rounding out an eShop update packed with variety.
