Nintendo eShop Update – Cars 3: Driven to Win, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero

There are a handful of new games hitting the trio of Nintendo platforms this week, including the well-timed Cars 3: Driven to Win for the Switch and Wii U (to coincide with the movie’s 6/16 release), Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, Anime Workshop and a few TurboGrafx-16 Virtual Console Wii U titles.

With the E3 coming up quick, we didn’t expect anything too crazy to be honest, but the selection isn’t half bad.

Read on.

• Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
  • Cars 3: Driven to Win ? Start your engines and gear up for the ultimate racing experience in Cars 3: Driven to Win, inspired by Disney Pixar?s upcoming film Cars 3.
