Nintendo Switch eShop Update: Nine Sols, Loco Motive, and 30+ New Releases Arrive This Week
Nintendo continues to redefine the digital gaming landscape with its latest eShop update for North America, offering a diverse lineup of fresh releases on Nintendo Switch.
The November update spotlights acclaimed indie debuts, retro classics, innovative genre mashups, and hidden gems—giving dedicated fans and new players alike plenty to explore on the platform.
A Highlight for Indie Fans: Nine Sols by Red Candle Games
Topping the list of new games is "Nine Sols," a highly anticipated 2D action-platformer developed by Red Candle Games.
Known for their previous work on narrative-rich horror hits, Red Candle Games brings players into a hand-drawn world featuring fast-paced, Sekiro-inspired combat and intricate lore.
Set in a realm once ruled by ancient aliens, "Nine Sols" follows a vengeful protagonist on his mission to defeat the nine powerful rulers of the forsaken land.
Priced at $29.99 and released on November 26th, the title is already generating buzz among action-platforming enthusiasts eager for a challenging, story-driven experience.
Murder Mystery On The Go: Loco Motive by Chucklefish
Another standout in this batch is "Loco Motive," published by Chucklefish.
This comedic point-and-click adventure transports players aboard the Reuss Express, where an unexpected assassination throws three strangers—a lawyer, a crime novelist-turned-detective, and an undercover spy—into a web of intrigue.
"Loco Motive" leans heavily into classic adventure mechanics and witty dialogue.
Released on November 21st for $17.99, it reflects Chucklefish's commitment to quirky, quality indie titles on Nintendo Switch.
