Description

Nintendo Switch owners in North America have a wealth of new gaming options this week, as the latest Nintendo eShop update introduces a jam-packed lineup of high-profile titles and intriguing indie debuts.

Major highlights include The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and the latest entry in Electronic Arts' storied football franchise, EA SPORTS FC 25. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, releasing September 26, places Princess Zelda at the center of the action as she confronts mysterious rifts threatening the kingdom of Hyrule.

With Link missing, players guide Zelda in a brand-new series adventure, working alongside the enigmatic Tri and wielding the inventive Tri Rod to create 'echoes'—environmental objects used to solve puzzles and overcome foes.

Developed and published by Nintendo, this game marks a fresh chapter in a series renowned for its innovation, and is expected to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers. Another standout this week is Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a $59.99 enhanced remake of the 2010 Wii classic by THQ Nordic.

Revamped for Nintendo Switch, the game invites players to join Mickey Mouse on a vibrant 3D platforming journey through Wasteland—a world steeped in Disney lore and history.

Upgrades in performance and visuals bring new life to the beloved original, introducing it to a new generation of players while offering a nostalgic opportunity for returning fans. Sports enthusiasts can look forward to EA SPORTS FC 25, launching September 27 from Electronic Arts.

This installment brings enhanced tactical control through FC IQ, an expanded 5v5 Rush mode, and the full spectrum of authentic players and clubs—boasting over 19,000 athletes and more than 700 teams from top leagues worldwide.

EA continues its tradition of innovation and realism, using match data to adapt player behavior for a more immersive football simulation experience on Nintendo Switch.

"We're dedicated to delivering the most authentic football gameplay possible, drawing on real-life match data and fan feedback to drive every improvement," an EA representative confirmed. Rounding out the selection are diverse indie and third-party releases such as REYNATIS from NIS America (September 27), the retro-inspired Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition from Team17, and narrative-driven adventures like 3 Minutes to Midnight.

These additions reinforce the Switch eShop's reputation as a home for creativity and variety within the gaming industry. Nintendo’s ongoing focus on expanding its digital library aligns with the Switch’s continued commercial performance.

Over 125 million Switch units have shipped worldwide, maintaining steady hardware sales and robust eShop activity well into the platform’s lifecycle (Nintendo, FY2023).

Frequent eShop updates and high-caliber releases—from first-party epics to inventive indies—remain central to Nintendo’s engagement strategy with its core and casual audiences. Whether you’re drawn to the puzzle-solving charms of Echoes of Wisdom, the nostalgia of Epic Mickey, or the pulse-pounding action of EA SPORTS FC 25, the Nintendo eShop offers something for every Switch player this week.
