Nintendo eShop Update – NBA Playgrounds, Blaster Master Zero demo, Triple Breakout

Somehow Nintendo wasn’t able to find a few Star Wars games or content to celebrate May the 4th, but that’s okay, there are a still few other goodies to check out on the eShop.

Switch highlights include the NBA Jam-esque NBA Playgrounds (which launches next week) and the Blaster Master Zero demo (also for the 3DS).  Wii U owners get Bonk’s Revenge as a Virtual Console game, along with WinKings and Fifteen. Infinite Golf launches for the 3DS, alongside Triple Breakout.

See all the new and upcoming content below.

This week?s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
    • NBA Playgrounds: Classic NBA arcade action is back! Take your ?A? game to the playground and beat the best in high-flying 2-on-2 basketball action.

NBA Playgrounds will be available on May 9 in Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch console.
    • Blaster Master Zero ? Demo Version ? Blaster Master Zero, the 8-bit style action-adventure game, is getting a few new updates ? starting with a free demo on Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch console. If you were curious about the game, now?s your chance to try it out and blast some mutants. And if you have the game already, the version 1.2 update adds some fun new experiences, like a new ?hard mode? that you can access after clearing the game.

There are eight different hidden bonus stages, and the Dinosaur Train that appears after you defeat a boss will change depending on how many Smileys you?ve collected.
