Nintendo eShop Update: Major Switch Releases and New Downloads Shine This Week

Nintendo eShop Update: Major Switch Releases and New Downloads Shine This Week Nintendo’s latest eShop update for Europe offers a diverse array of new releases and highlights, once again placing the Nintendo Switch at the center of a flurry of digital activity.

With several notable launches across Switch, 3DS, and Wii U, this week’s digital lineup underscores Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to serving fans with games ranging from chart-topping blockbusters to unique indie experiences. Headlining the Switch's retail releases is WWE 2K18, published by 2K Games.

Priced at €69.99 / £54.99, WWE 2K18 arrives as a complete experience, featuring the full MyCAREER mode, in-depth character customization, and bonus content available through its Season Pass and additional DLC.

2K Games emphasizes that the Nintendo Switch edition delivers all the content fans expect from its console counterparts, enabling full WWE action on the go.

For players seeking the ultimate package, the WWE 2K18 Digital Deluxe edition is available at €89.99 / £79.99. Switch eShop newcomers provide a wide range of experiences.

The Sexy Brutale from Tequila Works (€19.99 / £17.99) stands out as a critically acclaimed puzzle adventure, tasking players with reliving the same 12-hour cycle to unravel a murderous mystery.

Dimension Drive by 2Awesome Studio (€12.99 / £11.99) offers shoot 'em up action with a strategic twist—players must switch between two sides of the screen with limited energy resources, presenting a fresh challenge and supporting both solo and local co-op play.

Notably, 2Awesome Studio’s founders have a background at the European Space Agency, adding a unique pedigree to the project. Other Switch highlights include Frozenbyte’s Nine Parchments, an isometric action RPG with wizard co-op gameplay (€19.99 / £17.99), and Caveman Warriors from Jandusoft (€9.74 / £8.76 until 28th December), a vibrant brawler supporting up to four local players.

Rain Games’ Teslagrad (€13.49 / £12.14 until 28th December) merges platforming and puzzles with striking hand-drawn visuals, while Curve Digital’s Human: Fall Flat (€14.99 / £14.99) provides quirky, physics-based puzzle-solving. Classic and indie offerings round out the Switch eShop, including the shoot ’em up Gunbird by Zerodiv (€6.99 / £6.99), twin-stick shooter/simulation hybrid Vostok Inc from Wired Productions (€14.99 / £12.99), and action-packed platformer Slain: Back From Hell by Digerati (€19.99 / £17.99).

Additional titles such as Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive, Embers of Mirrim, and Riptide GP: Renegade further enrich the growing library. The eShop also features demos (such as Lost Sphear from Square Enix and Embers of Mirrim), pre-orders (Mutant Mudds Collection and Yooka-Laylee), plus ongoing discounts for games like The Jackbox Party Pack 2 and Sparkle 2 Evo. Continuing its support for legacy platforms, Nintendo delivers new 3DS content, including Squareboy vs Bullies: Arena Edition from Ratalaika Games and Japanese Rail Sim 3D Travel of Steam by Sonic Powered Co.

Wii U Virtual Console gains new additions as well, with Konami’s Bomberman Panic Bomber (€7.99 / £7.19) and the classic shooter Salamander (€5.99 / £5.39). Regular price promotions and discounts across all eShop platforms provide additional value, underscoring Nintendo's strategy of supporting both blockbuster titles and indie releases.

This week’s Nintendo Download Update offers something for every type of gamer, and Nintendo’s robust digital ecosystem continues to thrive on Switch, 3DS, and Wii U.
