Nintendo eShop Update: Super Mega Baseball 4, Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection

Paul Bryant08 mins


June is here, and with it, a couple of very promising games are hitting the Switch.

Baseball fans will want to check out Super Mega Baseball 4, the latest entry in the series, and the first since developer Metalhead Software was acquired by EA. The publishing giant’s larger wallet is already making its presence known, as this year’s edition of SMB will feature real MLB players for the first time ever. We’ll have to see whether that impacts the game’s arcade feel, but early trailers make it look pretty fun.

Elsewhere in the eShop update, JRPG fans will be excited by Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection. The collection includes the first three Etrian Odyssey games, all remastered in HD — and if you’d rather check them out individually, you can also buy them all separately.

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:

    • Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection – Dive back into the sprawling labyrinth, with a blank map as your only guide, in this collection of the first three Etrian Odyssey games, remastered in HD!

Twenty-four newly drawn character illustrations are included. Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection launches today! Each game in the collection is also available separately in Nintendo eShop.

Step into the life of Nini, a newly earthbound teen who arrives in the quaint Japanese town of Ashihara in August 1983. Nini and his allies become stuck in a loop and must relive the eighth month over and over until they get it right, or the Kegai will overcome them entirely. Use Nini’s special connection to the gods to reset the world to help aid you in your quest. Explore the town, befriend its people and face off against the Kegai in turn-based battles where the outcomes depend on the relationships you’ve built and the decisions you’ve made. With one month until the world ends, how will you spend each day? Loop8: Summer of Gods will be available on June 6.
