Nintendo eShop Update: Europa, Crow Country

We’re in spooky season, which means it’s the perfect time for Crow Country to arrive on the Switch! The PS1-influenced horror game is great on other platforms, so Switch gamers will definitely want to check it out while they’re getting in the mood for Halloween.

Also of note this week is Europa. The open-world adventure gives off strong Zelda vibes, so it’ll be worth checking out if you’re in the mood for that.

Plenty of other games are arriving on the Switch this week, so check out the full list below!

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

  • Pre-Orders:
    • LEGO Horizon Adventures – Explore a LEGO world inspired by the events of Horizon – teeming with lush forests and tall mountains, and where colossal beast-like machines roam – all vibrantly recreated with LEGO elements.

Dive into boundless adventure, customize your home and characters to your heart’s content and take on action-packed battles solo or with a friend locally and online*.
