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.

• Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
  • Fire Emblem Engage ? Team up with iconic heroes from past Fire Emblem games and add their power to yours in this new Fire Emblem story! Legendary heroes called Emblems grant incredible power to the one who holds the 12 Emblem Rings. However, the Fell Dragon and ancient nemesis of the Divine Dragon has risen and seeks the rings for his own evil gain. Command the army of the Divine Dragon through turn-based battles across the continent and bring peace back to Elyos. Each battle is different, requiring its own strategy and approach. Plan attacks carefully when commanding each hero with their own moves and weapons while using the terrain, positioning and unique talents of the heroes to defeat the enemy across the grid-based battlefield. Tailor your experience with a range of difficulty and game modes suited for all skill levels. Casual Mode sees fallen allies revived after a battle, while they?ll be lost forever when using Classic Mode. If you make a major error in combat, use the Draconic Time Crystal to rewind and try again, in any mode! The Fire Emblem Engage game will be available on Jan. 20.
