Nintendo Switch Eshop Adds A Ton Of New Games, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC This Week

A ton of new games are now available on Nintendo Switch. This week is an especially busy one for the console, with more than 20 new titles arriving in the Eshop. Additionally, Switch owners can download a handful of new demos from the digital storefront, while another batch of DLC quests have been released for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Fans of retro (and retro-inspired) platformers in particular have a lot of great titles to choose from this week. First, Capcom’s classic Mega Man compilations, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 and 2, are both now available on Switch. Each can be purchased individually from the Eshop for $20. Capcom has also released a physical Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2 package, which comes with a game card of the first Legacy Collection and a download code for the second.

The recently announced Bloodstained prequel, Curse of the Moon, is also now available on Switch. Developed by Inti Creates, the studio behind the Azure Striker Gunvolt series, Curse of the Moon is an 8-bit-style platformer reminiscent of the classic NES game Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. It features four playable characters, who each have their own unique abilities and can be swapped between on the fly.

In addition to those titles, the acclaimed and ultra-difficult platformer N++ has launched on the Eshop. Other notable releases this week include PixelJunk Monsters 2; the latest classic Neo Geo game, Top Player’s Golf; the MMA management sim Punch Club; and the rhythm/action game Runner3. You can find the full list of this week’s Switch releases below.

On top of all the new releases, a handful of new demos are now available in the Eshop. First, Nintendo has released demos for two of its upcoming games: Sushi Striker and Mario Tennis Aces. The latter, however, will not be playable until Nintendo kicks off the game’s Pre-launch Online Tournament next weekend. Switch owners can also now download a demo of Happy Birthdays, the charming world-creation game by Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada.

Finally, a new batch of DLC has been released for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Several new quests are now available for players who’ve purchased the game’s expansion pass. The pass costs cost $30 / £27 and gives players access to additional quests, Blades, items, and other content. A challenge battle mode and new story content are also still slated to arrive this year for expansion pass holders.

E3 2018: Every Nintendo 3DS Game Confirmed So Far

The biggest gaming show of the year, E3 2018, is nearly upon us, and this year’s event promises to offer an exciting look at what each platform has in store through the rest of 2018 and beyond. With the Switch in its second year on the market, the hybrid console will undoubtedly be the focal point of Nintendo’s E3 presentation. Already the company has confirmed it will show off more of Super Smash Bros. for Switch, and there will certainly be a lot of surprise announcements in store for the console.

But while Switch may be the star of Nintendo’s E3 plans, it isn’t the only console the company will be talking about during its big presentation. Its dual-screen handheld, the 3DS, is also still chugging along thanks in large part to the frequent hardware refreshes it has received over the course of its lifetime. Even with competition from Switch, 3DS has remained a consistent seller for Nintendo, and the company will no doubt want to continue that momentum with a steady lineup of upcoming releases.

While we know a little about what we can expect from the Switch side of its E3 presentation, Nintendo’s plans for 3DS remain very much a mystery. The company hasn’t confirmed any 3DS games that will be showcased during its E3 presentation. This isn’t out of the ordinary; outside of Super Smash Bros. and Splatoon 2, Nintendo has been cagey about which games it plans to show off during E3, leaving us to speculate about what the company will talk about.

Still, while Nintendo hasn’t explicitly said which 3DS games it plans to show off, there are quite a few already-announced titles that we may see more of. During a recent Direct presentation, Nintendo announced a handful of new titles coming to 3DS this year, including WarioWare Gold, a remake of Luigi’s Mansion, and a remake of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story.

We’ll see what else Nintendo has in store for 3DS this year very soon. The company’s Direct-style E3 presentation airs online on Tuesday, June 12, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET, just before E3 officially begins. In the meantime, you can see all of the confirmed 3DS games below. We’ve also rounded up all of the confirmed Switch games for E3 2018.

All the Nintendo 3DS Games Confirmed for E3 2018

  • WarioWare Gold (assumed)
  • Luigi’s Mansion (assumed)
  • Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey (assumed)

Battlefield 5 Dev: ‘Player Choice and Female Playable Characters Are Here to Stay’

According to Battlefield V’s developer, the studio is prioritizing player choice, inclusion, and diversity for the upcoming game, but the highest priority is fun.

DICE General Manager Oskar Gabrielson shared his thoughts on the reactions to the game’s recent reveal on Twitter, saying “player choice and female playable characters are here to stay.”

After the reveal of Battlefield V, a vocal minority spoke out in protest of the game’s cover art, which features a woman soldier. Some said the game’s depiction of women WWII soldiers was “unrealistic,” even though the inclusion of women fighting in WWII is one of the most realistic things Battlefield does.
