Baseball fans have likely had this week’s eShop update circled on their calendars for awhile: spring is almost here, and, with it, MLB The Show 25.
While the game doesn’t break the mold too much from previous outings, the big draw this year is an expanded Road to the Show mode that will allow you to play some games in high school and university, complete with the ping of aluminum bats. There are other tweaks here and there, including a new “roguelike” mode called Diamond Quest, and the game is sure to be another solid entry in Sony’s long-running franchise.
There are plenty of other games arriving this week, so check out the full list below!
This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:
- Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch:
- On Your Tail – In this narrative life sim, you’ll play as the intrepid young detective Diana and explore the charming seaside village of Borgo Marina, where mysteries lie behind its idyllic exterior. Search the streets and shops for leads and collect Clue Cards to help unmask the thief who’s menacing this once-peaceful town. When you’re not solving mysteries, you can enjoy a personal seaside vacation by hitting the beach, hanging out with friends, playing games in the arcade, fishing and more! On Your Tail is available on the Nintendo Switch system today.
- MLB The Show 25 – Ignite your passion and build your very own path to greatness—from high school baseball all the way to the Hall of Fame! Updated with new ways to play, players can connect with iconic baseball stars in fan-favorite modes. Experience exciting new gameplay in all modes, including a variety of all-new RTTS Impact Plays, G.O.A.T. difficulty for the ultimate challenge and all-new Ambush Hitting for a more realistic “plan of attack” at the plate. Forge your baseball journey when MLB The Show 25 launches on March 18. Players can purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition to receive up to four days of early access to the game. Pre-orders for both the Standard and Deluxe editions are available now on Nintendo eShop.
- Game Boy – Nintendo Switch Online*
- Mario’s Picross – Use logic to help Mario reveal mysterious hidden pictures! The secret lies in the numeric codes at the top and on the left side of each window. Decipher these numbers and chisel boxes away strategically to reveal the hidden images in more than 250 brain-bending puzzles. But be careful – every mistake will cost you precious minutes! It will take quick wits and a speedy pace to solve the puzzle before the clock runs out. Don’t worry – if you get stuck, you can start a puzzle with a hint! Mario’s Picross is available now to Nintendo Switch Online members.
- Donkey Kong – The 1994 classic released on the Game Boy system is back! Donkey Kong has kidnapped Pauline, and Mario is in hot pursuit. Perform back-flips and rope spins to overcome the obstacles in Mario’s path, moving jump stands and ladders to create a path to his goal across over 100 stages. Donkey Kong is available now to Nintendo Switch Online members.
