Nintendo eShop Update: Pinball M, Bloopy & Droopy

Given it’s the last week of 2023, you might expect it to be a quiet week for new game releases — and, mostly, you’d be correct. But even during this lull week, there are still a handful of new games arriving on the Switch.

Surprisingly, even this week there’s at least one or two new games worth investigating. If you’re a fan of pinball and of horror movies — and we certainly are — then Pinball M is a fun marriage of the two. In a different vein, both Bloopy & Droopy and Chico and the Magic Orchards DX hearken back to the late ’80s/early ’90s, offering platforming and RPG-ing, respectively.

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:

  • Digital Spotlight
    • New Year’s Eve – This new year why not make a resolution to check out some of the great games released on the Nintendo Switch system in 2023? Jump into the unexpected with the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game. Turn back the clock and dive into the updated classic Super Mario RPG game for some fun, turn-based combat.
