Nintendo eShop Update: Retro Goal, The Knight Witch, Soccer Story

Matthew Pollesel09 mins

As the site’s resident Canadian, it falls to me to post this week’s eShop update. Something about turkey comas makes people a little lazy, apparently.

Given it’s a holiday for much of North America (but a regular old Thursday for me), this week’s batch of new Switch games is a little light on heavy-hitters. Nonetheless, there are a couple of interesting-looking games to be found. Personally, I’m pretty excited for Retro Goal, the latest from the developers of Retro Bowl. Given Retro Bowl is easily the best football game on the Switch, hopefully that bodes well for their take on soccer.

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
    • The Knight Witch ? This hand-crafted adventure emphasizes the importance of saying ?thank you.? Cast devastating card-based spells, forge close bonds and make moral choices, all in your quest to save your home and discover who?s behind the War Golem invasion. Encounter evil foes and choose how to proceed. As you journey across Dungeonidas, your heroic deeds and efforts will be seen and discussed by the citizenry. Knight Witches become stronger with gratitude and trust, and they can earn it in many ways ? however, not all methods are sincere. Will you do anything to gain popularity, or will you try and stay honest? The choice is in your hands. The Knight Witch blasts its way on to the Nintendo Switch system on Nov. 29.
