This week, the Nintendo eShop delivers a blockbuster lineup of new releases and exclusive content for both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.
Headlining the update are several major titles, special activities, and music releases, reflecting Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to diverse gaming experiences across its ecosystem. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond—the long-awaited new entry in the iconic sci-fi franchise—makes its official debut on Nintendo Switch 2, accompanied by a standard edition for the original Switch.
Players once again assume the role of Samus Aran, exploring the enigmatic planet Viewros in a quest to return home.
Armed with her signature suit and a technologically advanced bike known as Vi-O-La, Samus scans unfamiliar environments, battles alien creatures, and leverages mystical abilities to forge a path forward.
In an official statement, Nintendo highlighted that players can expect "deep environmental exploration and innovative new mechanics in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond—an experience built to fully leverage Nintendo Switch 2’s hardware advancements." Also landing on the eShop is Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which brings players to a richly detailed feudal Japan.
Gamers can experience the world through two distinct protagonists—Naoe, a cunning shinobi, and Yasuke, a formidable samurai—as they adapt strategies suited to different challenges.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version introduces touch screen controls for streamlined menu navigation and interactive hideout management, blending the franchise’s hallmark stealth-action gameplay with handheld innovation. Fans of Rockstar Games will find Red Dead Redemption: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition now available.
This release includes the full single-player campaigns of Red Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare expansion, alongside bonus content from the Game of the Year Edition.
Players with the existing Switch version are entitled to a complimentary upgrade, ensuring everyone can enjoy this western epic with enhanced visuals and performance. Marvel Cosmic Invasion, an exciting new 2D arcade-style beat ’em up, allows up to four players to band together as legendary characters such as Wolverine, Spider-Man, Nova, and Captain America.
Featuring dynamic co-op gameplay, a modernized pixel art aesthetic, and locales spanning from New York City to the Negative Zone, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is available for both Switch and Switch 2 owners. JRPG enthusiasts can begin a fresh adventure in OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0, a prequel where players create their own protagonist and recruit over 30 allies.
With a narrative focused on restoration and vengeance, this entry introduces new features like the iconic HD-2D visuals and the fast-paced Break & Boost battle system, available now on both platforms. Nintendo Music celebrates the launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond with Beats from Beyond, a collection of select in-game tracks, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the galactic soundscape via the Nintendo Music app for smart devices.
