It’s another big week for Switch owners as the Nintendo eShop will see a double-digit addition of new titles to its virtual shelves over the next seven days.
Leading the pack is Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, a Zelda spinoff from the action specialists at Omega Force and Team Ninja. Originally released for the Wii U in 2014, this Definitive Edition adds content from the Legends re-release, as well as several costumes from Breath of the Wild. Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition will be available on May 18.
Also set to launch tomorrow is Bandai Namco’s Little Nightmares: Complete Edition. The dark… yet whimsical… side-scroller asks players to save Six from The Maw, “a mysterious vessel inhabited by corrupted souls looking for their next meal.”
Further out, Choice Provisions will return with Runner 3, the third game in the incredibly popular Bit.Trip sub-series, on Tuesday, May 22. This time out, CommanderVideo will “jump, double-jump, wall-jump, slide-jump, slide, kick, float, drive, fly, and dance” to prevent the destruction of the multiverse. Capcom will also bring the Blue Bomber’s “Classic” period to the Switch this coming Tuesday with the launch of Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2.
And speaking of classic games from the late 80s/early 90s, Hamster Corporation has stepped up to the plate with a re-release of Baseball Stars Professional. It’s available to download today, alongside a Switch launch for Stoic Studio’s Viking RPG, The Banner Saga.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including the Framed Collection and Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles) after the break.
