Did you download the Unicorn Overlord demo a few weeks ago? Then this week’s eShop update is probably one you’ve been looking for since the game was announced, as the full game arrives on the Switch. It’s a gorgeous-looking RPG from a studio — Vanillaware — that’s the master of them, so be sure to check it out.

And speaking of gorgeous-looking — albeit in a much trippier vein — this week also sees the release of Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story. Minter is a legendary names in the world of arcade shooters, the man behind such games as Tempest 2000 and Llamatron, and this new release celebrates his career with a whopping 42 of his games from 8 different platforms, ranging from the Sinclair ZX81 and Commodore VIC-20 up to the Atari ST and Atari Jaguar.
