Nintendo eShop Update: Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Octopath Traveler II

Even though Kirby’s Return to Dream Land sold more than a million copies back when it first released, it would have been easy to miss it: it came out on the Wii in 2011, when that console was nearing the end of its lifespan. In this week’s eShop update, you have another chance to play it, as the iconic pink puffball returns on the Switch in Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe — and if you’re on the fence, there’s a demo, too.

On top of that, JRPG fans are in for a treat, as Square Enix is bringing us back to the world of Octopath Traveler, with Octopath Traveler II arriving tomorrow. This time out, eight new travelers are exploring the world of Solistia in what’s sure to be another must-play game.

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