The Nintendo eShop continues to deliver a robust lineup of games, with the latest Nintendo Download update for North America introducing a diverse array of new releases for Nintendo Switch owners.

This week’s highlights include the much-anticipated Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed from THQ Nordic and the whimsical action-adventure The Plucky Squire from Devolver Digital, alongside an eclectic mix of indie and retro-inspired titles. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, launching on the Nintendo Switch eShop on September 24, 2024, marks the return of the beloved 2010 Wii classic, now fully enhanced for current hardware.

Players join Mickey Mouse as he journeys through the imaginative Wasteland, a universe inspired by iconic Disney stories.

This remake delivers updated visuals and improved controls, with developers at THQ Nordic implementing a range of gameplay upgrades and new abilities for Mickey.

The original Epic Mickey, developed by Junction Point Studios and directed by Warren Spector, garnered acclaim for its creative platforming and art direction, and this reimagined edition aims to rekindle that magic for a new generation of players. Another highlight this week is The Plucky Squire, scheduled for release on September 17, 2024.

Published by Devolver Digital, this innovative action-adventure title invites players to step into a storybook world, following Jot and his friends who discover the existence of a three-dimensional realm outside of their illustrated pages.

When the antagonist, Humgrump, realizes his doomed role, he casts our hero out, transforming the story and challenging players to restore the book’s happy ending.
