It’s another big week for the Switch eShop, as more than two dozen games will be added to the digital storefront over the next seven days. But three of those games stand out above all the rest.
Available to download today is Pocket Rumble, a 2D fighter from Cardboard Robot Games that was heavily inspired by the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
But Switch owners who wait until next Tuesday, July 10, will have to chance to download Shining Resonance: Refrain, the latest entry in the Shining saga from Sega, or 20XX, a roguelike homage to Capcom’s Mega Man franchise.
