It’s Thursday, so Nintendo has once again revealed more than a dozen new Switch games that’ll make their way to the Nintendo eShop over the next seven days… and that includes three highly-acclaimed titles that originally debuted on other platforms.
First up, Switch owners will be able to download Capcom’s Okami HD beginning today. Players will take control of the sun goddess Amaterasu in this action-adventure, and attempt to restore color to the land of Japan. Also available to download today is Minit, a Zelda-like overhead action game that must be completed in one-minute chunks.
Finally this week, Zeboyd Games will bring their retro-styled sci-fi RPG, Cosmic Star Heroine, to the Switch on Tuesday, August 14.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop after the break.
