Nintendo eShop Update: Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, Turbo Overkill

If you’re a fan of strategy games, this week’s eShop update is probably one of your most anticipated of the year, since it sees Sid Meier’s Civilization VII arrival on the Switch. Civilization VI came out nearly a decade ago (though only six years ago on the Switch), so if you’ve been waiting for a new strategy game to sink your teeth into, the wait is almost over. True, Civ VI had some, uh, issues on the Switch, but it was still a lot of fun, so this new version should be as well.

There’s plenty of other new stuff arriving on the Switch this week as well, so check out the full list below!

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

• Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch:
  • Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – Relive history … or make it your own. The classic strategy game series returns, once again bringing players the opportunity to construct architectural wonders and expand their territories around the globe. This time, third century Japanese leader Himiko will be part of the story you weave. Will your monuments stand the test of time, or will they crumble into dusty ruins? It’s all up to you. Sid Meier’s Civilization VII will be available on the Nintendo Switch system Feb. 11. Players who purchase either the Founders Edition or Deluxe Edition game can start playing as early as today! Pre-orders for the Standard, Founders and Deluxe editions are available now on Nintendo eShop.

  • Ridge Racer 64 – Prepare to drive the action in this arcade classic where a few extra seconds can be the difference between victory or defeat! Race across nine total courses in three different environments. Don’t forget to drift when the race is underway! Skillful use of Acceleration Drifting and Brake Drifting will allow you to smoothly maneuver through tight curves on the racetrack and save precious seconds of time.
