Nintendo eShop Update – Donut County, Battle Princess Madelyn, InkyPen, Awe

In a final push before many new Nintendo Switch owners excitedly unwrap their consoles, Nintendo has dropped off a humongous eShop update for all.

The quantity and variety of digital games, apps and activities scheduled for the next week or so is quite impressive even if there’s not a singular huge release. See the full list below, and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here.

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

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
    • Donut County ? Donut County is a story-based physics puzzle game where you play as an ever-growing hole in the ground. Raccoons have taken over Donut County with remote-controlled trash-stealing holes. You play as BK, a hole-driving raccoon who swallows up his friends and their homes to earn prizes.
    • Sundered: Eldritch Edition ? Confront hordes of terrifying enemies in an ever-changing world inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Sundered is a challenging and unique take on a classic genre from the creators of Jotun, now with local co-op. The Sundered: Eldritch Edition game is available Dec. 21.
    • Battle Princess Madelyn ? Follow the journey of a young knight in training, Madelyn, and her ghostly pet dog, Fritzy. They set out on a journey to save her kingdom and her family from the clutches of an evil wizard.
