Nintendo eShop Update: Persona 4 Golden, Fire Emblem Engage

After a very quiet eShop update last week, the Switch is seeing the release of a few higher profile games this week, headlined by a remastered version of Persona 4 Golden. P4G achieved cult classic status thanks to its Vita release about a decade ago, so this Switch version will ensure even more people get a chance to experience it. It’s joined by Persona 3 Portable, so anyone looking for that particular strain of JRPG is in luck this week.

On top of that, also sees the return of the venerable Fire Emblem series, with Fire Emblem Engage being released tomorrow. Its received strong reviews, so it’s sure to be worth checking out if you’re a fan.

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