Nintendo eShop Update: April 2024 Brings Another Crab’s Treasure, TMNT Arcade, and More to Switch

The Nintendo eShop has launched its latest lineup of titles for North America, offering a robust array of new experiences for Nintendo Switch owners to discover.

The April 2024 Nintendo Download features a diverse selection of indie gems, big-name franchises, and remastered classics, securing the platform’s reputation as a haven for all types of gamers. Leading this week’s highlights is 'Another Crab’s Treasure' developed by Aggro Crab, available on the Nintendo eShop from April 25, 2024, for $29.99.

In this inventive action-adventure, players control a resourceful hermit crab in a polluted ocean on a quest to recover their lost shell.

The game stands out for its unique mechanic that lets the protagonist use everyday ocean debris—such as cans and cardboard—as improvised shell armor, each with its own defensive properties.

Throughout the adventure, players will collect more than 60 different shells with special abilities, adapting their strategy to fend off enemies and hazards lurking beneath the waves.

In official developer remarks, Aggro Crab emphasizes the game’s fusion of humor, heartfelt narrative, and accessible gameplay, aiming to provide “an epic treasure hunt experience that’s unlike anything else on Nintendo Switch.” Also making waves is 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants' from Game Mill, which arrives on April 23, 2024, at a price of $29.99.

This revitalized take on the 2017 arcade classic expands the content with three new stages and six additional boss fights.

Players are invited to relive the beat-em-up glory days as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, or Raphael, conquering hordes of adversaries and ultimately facing off against the infamous Shredder.

Among the standout features is local cooperative play, allowing friends to join forces in true arcade fashion. Longtime RPG enthusiasts have another reason to celebrate with the arrival of 'SaGa Emerald Beyond' by SQUARE ENIX, which launched on April 25, 2024, for $49.99.

As the latest standalone entry in the beloved SaGa series, this title builds on its legacy by offering deep tactical mechanics, a branching narrative, and a diverse array of playable races, including humans, monsters, and mechs.

The flexibility and replayability of 'SaGa Emerald Beyond' have already been lauded by critics, further enriching the Switch library's RPG offerings. Other notable launches include the retro-inspired shooter 'Wrath: Aeon of Ruin' from Fulqrum, appealing to fans of classic 1990s FPS design, as well as a host of indie and experimental titles such as 'Adventure Bar Story' by Rideon Japan, 'Library of Ruina' from Arc System Works, and a variety of puzzle, simulation, and platform games covering every imaginable play style.

Returning classics are represented with remasters like 'Class of Heroes 1&2: Complete Edition' from PQube, perfect for gamers eager to rediscover revered dungeon-crawlers in updated form. The Nintendo eShop’s April refresh continues the platform’s commitment to diverse, high-quality content, drawing from around the globe for both nostalgia-laden releases and innovative new creations.
