Nintendo eShop Update: Sonic Frontiers, It Takes Two, Harvestella

Matthew Pollesel011 mins

There’s a wealth of new games hitting the Switch this week, but probably the biggest name of the bunch is Sonic Frotiers. The blue hedgehog will be racing around the “open-zone” world of Starfall Islands, searching for the elusive Chaor emeralds.

That’s not all, of course. There’s also the arrival of It Takes Two, the co-op platformer that wowed people on other systems last year, and a pair of farming sims, DORAEMON STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of the Great Kingdom and Harvestella.

See the full list below, and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here.
