Americans may be celebrating Thanksgiving today, but that doesn’t mean that Switch and Switch 2 owners aren’t still getting new content this week. And even if the games available today aren’t great, next week sees a pair of great games arriving on Nintendo systems. First Assassin’s Creed Shadows arrives on the Switch 2 on Tuesday (we weren’t big fans of the game when it released on other systems eight months ago), then on Wednesday Switch owners will finally get a chance to play Viewfinder (of which we were huge fans).
As usual, there are sales and deals happening as well, which is always located over here: www.nintendo.com/store/sales-and-deals
See the full list below, and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here.
