Nintendo eShop Update: WrestleQuest, Flutter Away, Tiny Thor

While there are no high-profile games games hittiing the Switch this week, that doesn’t mean this week’s eShop update is lacking in games worth checking out. If you’re a fan of wrestling and RPGs, WrestleQuest should pique your interest — and with legends like Jake the Snake, Andre the Giant and Randy Savage, it’s going to deliver a fun retro experience. Elsewhere, you can see the influence of Pokémon in two games: Adore might scratch the itch of anyone in the mood for a new monster-collecting game, while Flutter Away is influenced by Pokémon Snap-style photography. There’s also Portal-style first-person puzzling (The Entropy Centre), 8-bit football action (Legend Bowl), and lots and lots more.

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

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
