Alright, let’s jump into this. So, it’s the end of an era, yeah? The last week where we’re just talking about the Nintendo Switch solo. Next week, it’s like a whole new world—Switch 2 is hopping in. Anyway, here’s what’s cookin’ on the eShop this week: retro vibes, pre-orders, and a bunch of sales. Let’s get messy.
First off, the Nintendo Switch Online gang is adding some Game Boy classics. It’s a random mix, really—like they threw darts at a board. We’ve got Survival Kids from Konami, a bit of Kirby action, and Gradius for some sci-fi pew-pew. I talked about them in a podcast last week. Good times.
And hey, Switch 2 is dropping soon, like on June 5. Everyone’s losing their minds, naturally. If patience isn’t your thing, you can pre-order a few games—Rune Factory, Sonic X Shadows, Fast Fusion. Maybe you’re into one of those?
Sales, sales, sales! Dragon Quest titles are going for crazy discounts—25% to 50% off. Even the shiny Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake from last year. Honestly, that’s tempting.
Feeling lucky? There’s a sweepstake where you can score a Mario Kart LEGO set. Seriously, LEGO and Mario Kart together? Sign me up, right?
Loads of new Switch titles out too. Check ‘em out and let me know which ones you’re snagging while waiting for Switch 2.
Okay, let’s geek out over some Game Boy stuff:
SURVIVAL KIDS – It’s you, an island, and not much else. Classic survival game where you’re a kid stuck on an empty island. Sounds like a reality show pitch, doesn’t it? You gotta find food, create tools, survive. Run, Forrest, run!
GRADIUS THE INTERSTELLAR ASSAULT – Picture this: you’ve just survived an alien scrap. Your suit’s grimy with dried bile—yum, right? Suddenly, bam! The stage lights up; doomships are everywhere. You’ve got a bunch of weapons, but don’t mix DOUBLE and LASER. Trust me.
The Sword of Hope – Channeling some serious fantasy vibes. You’re Prince Theo with a dagger birthmark. Pretty metal. Find the Sword of Hope, save the day, yadda yadda. Look, Open, Hit—these commands could either save or ruin your day. Roll the dice!
Kirby’s Star Stacker – Stack stars. Match with pals. Watch out for Dedede. Simple, is it? Nah. Be quick on your toes!
Pre-order Corner, folks:
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma – Grow crops, fight baddies, charm villagers in this classic, revamped on Switch 2. The joys of digital farming with a side of heroism. June 5th, mark it down.
SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS – Sonic’s back, and Shadow too. A blast from the past mixed with fresh styles. Run around, slam baddies, uncover secrets. Time-hopping adventure? Sign me up.
Fast Fusion – Anti-grav racing, anyone? Zoom through insane tracks, mash up vehicles, and hop like nobody’s business. Get your fix of speed!
Ah, and before I forget—LEGO Mario Kart Race to Win! Win LEGO stuff, race like a champ, feel awesome. There’s time till Sept. 3. Go push your luck.
Plenty on the eShop this week. Dive in, or maybe just chill and wait to see what’s next. Whatever floats your boat!
