We may be in the middle of a traditionally slow period for releases, but you wouldn’t be able to tell it from this week’s eShop update. Among the several dozen new games hitting the Switch this week, the Two Point franchise moves from the hospital to university with Two Point Campus, Blossom Tales returns with more Zelda-flavoured goodness in Blossom Tales II, and you can start your own cult with Cult of the Lamb. It’s an intriguing mix of games, and all three seem very promising.
See the full list below, and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here.
This week?s Nintendo Download includes the following content:
- Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
- Cult of the Lamb ? In Cult of the Lamb, prepare to start your own cult in a land of false prophets. Venture out into diverse and mysterious regions to build a loyal community of woodland worshippers. Spread your Word to become the one true cult! As you amass your flock, you?ll collect and use resources to build new structures, perform dark rituals to appease the gods and give sermons to reinforce the faith of your cult. Explore a sprawling, randomly generated world, fight off hordes of enemies and defeat rival cult leaders in order to absorb their power to assert your cult?s dominance.
- Arcade Paradise ? Welcome to Arcade Paradise, the ?90s-themed retro arcade game and light-management sim combo! Take on the role of Ashley and manage the day-to-day tasks of running the family laundromat. Rebel against your father?s wishes and create a games arcade to give the sleepy town of Grindstone something to really get excited about as you wash rags, invest the profits and build your very own arcade paradise! The more arcade cabinets you install, the more players will spend, with over 35 fully playable games to unlock! But remember, you don?t have time to just stand around setting the highest scores ? the toilet won?t clean itself and there?s trash to take out. Relive ?90s gaming nostalgia on your journey from rags to arcade riches!
- Two Point Campus ? Build your university, your way, in Two Point Campus! It?s time to spin academia on its head. Got a yearning for learning? Or just keen to build an educational masterpiece?

Whether you prefer building on simple foundations or placing every tree, you can build the university you want. Lay down pathways with new easy-to-use tools. Plant glorious collections of outdoor flora. Place benches, fountains, sculptures, hedgerows ? even picket fences. The only limit is your imagination (and your in-game bank balance). Two Point Campus will be available on Aug. 16.
- Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince ? Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince is the new sequel in the Blossom Tales series. In this adventure, Grandpa?s latest tale takes you on a journey through haunted forests, pirate shores and other mysterious lands across a vast open world!
