Nintendo continues its tradition of delivering a wealth of fresh content to Switch users with this week’s North American Nintendo eShop update, spotlighting a dynamic range of new releases, classic revivals, and indie gems.
The latest Nintendo Download features the return of beloved titles like Glover and the much-anticipated Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection, along with a slew of innovative games spanning multiple genres.
Glover Makes Its Nintendo Switch Debut
Arguably the most nostalgic addition to this week's lineup is the re-release of Glover, a cult classic 3D platformer originally developed by Interactive Studios in the 1990s.
Published for the Nintendo Switch as part of the QUByte Classics series by QUByte Interactive, Glover invites players to control a magical, sentient glove on a quest to restore peace to a disrupted kingdom.
With updated controls and vibrant visuals, the game returns for $17.99 and aims to capture both old fans and newcomers alike.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection Launches
Konami’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is another major highlight, offering fans an expansive selection of classic Yu-Gi-Oh! video games, including several titles previously unavailable outside of Japan.
Priced at $49.99, this collection lets players relive pivotal moments from the famed anime series and challenge friends in nostalgic duels.
Konami’s dedication to commemorating the Yu-Gi-Oh! legacy is evident in this carefully curated anthology, making it a prime pick for long-time franchise supporters and card game strategists.
