Nintendo Switch eShop Update: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Headlines Weekly Digital Releases in Europe

Nintendo has once again revitalized the European digital gaming landscape with its latest Nintendo Switch eShop update.

This week’s digital lineup brings together highly anticipated retail titles, exciting download-only games, fresh downloadable content, and a range of discounts across platforms, reinforcing Nintendo's commitment to variety and value for its diverse user base. The headline release is undoubtedly the arrival of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, developed by Ubisoft, which is now available for download at €59.99 / £49.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

Merging Nintendo’s beloved Mario universe with Ubisoft’s eccentric Rabbids, this turn-based strategy adventure has exceeded expectations since its announcement.

Once met with skepticism during its initial rumors and leaks, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle has now established itself as a critical success—thanks to its innovative blend of tactical combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving.

Reviewers note that the game offers a uniquely clever take on the genre, making it a standout addition to the Switch library. Another notable addition is Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack by Inti Creates, priced at €34.99 / £31.49.

This package combines both critically acclaimed 3DS titles—Azure Striker Gunvolt and its sequel—alongside all DLC.

Enhanced for the Nintendo Switch, the Striker Pack now features HD visuals, a consistent 60fps framerate, and integrated HD Rumble support, providing both new players and returning fans with the definitive Gunvolt experience. For those seeking indie charm, the Switch eShop’s League of Evil by Ratalaika Games presents retro-styled action across 140 intense levels (€7.99 / £7.19).

Players can also create and share custom stages with the community, ensuring lasting replay value.

Meanwhile, Zed Blade (HAMSTER, €6.99 / £6.29), a classic horizontal shooter, and Sky Ride (Mutan, €6.99 / £6.29), an aerial combat game previously released on PS4, add extra diversity to the week’s offerings. The eShop update doesn't stop at new games.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle also debuts its Season Pass (€19.99 / £15.99), offering exclusive weapons and plans for future story content.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero fans can enjoy the new Pirate Queen's Quest DLC (€9.99 / £8.99) by WayForward, while Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition adds the Biome Settlers Skin Pack 3. On the portable side, the 3DS eShop welcomes Parascientific Escape – Crossing at the Farthest Horizon from CIRCLE Entertainment (€5.00 / £4.99), concluding the engaging puzzle-adventure trilogy.

A variety of temporary discounts on 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS titles add extra incentive for players looking to expand their libraries. Wii U owners are not left out, with fresh Shantae: Half-Genie Hero DLC and Minecraft content, alongside deep discounts covering an array of indie hits and party games. Nintendo’s continuous offering of regular eShop updates, spanning major titles like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack to indie gems and time-limited discounts, demonstrates its dedication to serving all types of players.

With new releases, downloadable expansions, and sales across the Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and Wii U platforms, this week’s European eShop update showcases the ever-growing vibrancy of the Nintendo digital ecosystem.
