Nintendo eShop Update: Civilization VII Headlines Massive February Lineup on Switch

Nintendo has rolled out its latest eShop update, packed with a diverse batch of titles for the North American market this February.

The February 2024 Nintendo Download sees major releases from established studios alongside a vibrant selection of indie projects, providing Switch players with one of the most varied lineups in recent months. Leading the highlights is Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, the newest entry in the acclaimed strategy series from Take-Two Interactive.

Priced at $59.99 and available on February 11, Civilization VII invites Switch owners to build and expand their empires through history, with the addition of new leaders such as third-century Japanese ruler Himiko.

Building on decades of success, this installment continues the franchise’s legacy of strategic depth and world-building, now optimized for portable and console gameplay.

According to official statements from the publisher, players can look forward to both familiar mechanics and fresh features that make history theirs to rewrite. Alongside Civilization VII, the Switch eShop has been updated with a robust roster of releases spanning multiple genres.

Notable among these is Momodora: Moonlit Farewell by PLAYISM, the final chapter in the celebrated Momodora series, offering an atmospheric action-adventure experience.

For fans of classic arcade action, HAMSTER’s Arcade Archives THUNDER FOX brings TAITO’s 1990 hit to the modern console, while Apogee Entertainment’s Turbo Overkill turns up the intensity with fast-paced shooter gameplay. Indie developers are also well-represented.

TrampolineTales’ Luck be a Landlord fuses roguelike deckbuilding with slot machine excitement, while Citizen Sleeper: Helion Collection from Fellow Traveller merges narrative-driven RPG elements with dice-based mechanics.

Other standouts this week include Dr.

Kucho! Games’ Moons of Darsalon, the tactical battle simulator Shieldwall, and SHUEISHA GAMES’ Urban Myth Dissolution Center, a unique adventure diving into supernatural mysteries.
