Nintendo Switch eShop Update: STAR WARS: Bounty Hunter, World of Goo 2, and More Headline This Week’s Downloads

This week’s Nintendo Download for North America brings a robust lineup of new titles to the Nintendo Switch eShop, inviting players to explore a diverse range of genres and big-name releases.

As the digital store continues to expand its catalog, longtime fans and newcomers alike will find something to enjoy—from nostalgic classics to inventive, modern sequels. One of the most notable highlights is the arrival of "STAR WARS: Bounty Hunter," developed by Aspyr.

Originally released in 2002, this third-person action-adventure transports players into the shoes of Jango Fett—heralded as the Prime Clone of the Grand Army of the Republic—on a mission set prior to the events of "Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones." The Nintendo Switch version offers an experience fully optimized for the hardware, taking advantage of modern control schemes and graphical enhancements.

Players will navigate the criminal underworld, face formidable enemies, and deploy an iconic arsenal including dual blasters and flamethrowers.

With this release, Switch players can enjoy classic Star Wars gameplay with the added benefits of portability and updated features.

As Aspyr’s development team noted, their goal was to “bring the legendary bounty hunter fantasy to a new generation of gamers, making full use of the Nintendo Switch system’s capabilities.” Also making waves this week is "World of Goo 2" from Tomorrow Corporation.

Building on the innovative, physics-based gameplay of its predecessor, this sequel introduces new Goo Balls with unique properties—explosive, growing, and shrinking—all across more than 64 levels.

Players are tasked with solving increasingly complex construction puzzles, using living goo creatures to build bridges, towers, and even flying machines.

The original "World of Goo" was celebrated for its creativity and design, and Tomorrow Corporation continues to deliver with this much-anticipated follow-up.

The studio stated that “World of Goo 2 aims to inspire creativity and imaginative problem solving at every turn.” Beyond these headliners, the Nintendo Switch eShop update for the week of August 1 also features a rich selection of new releases.

Notable additions include retro action with "Aero the Acro-Bat," cooperative espionage in "Operation: Tango," and the complete "Borderlands Collection: Pandora’s Box"—making the acclaimed loot-shooter universe available as a comprehensive bundle on Switch.

For fans of strategy, RPGs, and indie gems, titles like "Trinity Fusion," "King ’n Knight," and "Mars 2120" provide fresh experiences across genres. The Nintendo eShop’s ongoing expansion highlights Nintendo’s commitment to broadening the platform’s appeal.

Major publishers, classic game revivals, and inventive indie projects all find a place in the weekly Nintendo Download updates, ensuring the Switch remains a dynamic platform for all types of gamers.

You can browse and purchase these new titles on the Nintendo eShop, with many games featuring special launch prices or bundled offers. Stay tuned for future Nintendo Download updates as the Nintendo Switch continues to draw acclaimed titles, cult favorites, and exciting new projects into its versatile catalog.
