Nintendo eShop Update: Hits for the Holidays Sale, Capcom Publisher Sale

It’s the day after Christmas, and there’s less than a week to go in 2024: let’s be honest, no publisher is going to release anything notable this week. And that’s reflected in the latest eShop update, which has a whopping seven games in it, none of which look like they’re going to be very late entries into the GOTY conversation (to put it mildly).

Instead, with this (maybe? possibly? hopefully?) being the Switch’s last holiday season, this week is a good week to delve into the console’s ample back catalogue by taking advantage of some sales. See the links below, and we’ll see what 2025 has in store for Nintendo owners!

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

• Digital Spotlight
  • Bundled Up, Spreading Cheer – Get cozy and prepare to play your way this holiday season with an assortment of games available on the Nintendo Switch system! Join Mario and Luigi on their newest island-hopping adventure in the Mario & Luigi: Brothership game! Or, use the wisdom of Princess Zelda to solve puzzles and battle foes on a quest to save Hyrule in the Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom game. If you’re ready to get comfy, you can also cuddle up with MySims: Cozy Bundle, where you can experience two charming stories, befriend cute characters and customize your very own Sims!
