What’s happening in the Nintendo Switch eShop? This week’s highlight is River City Girls 2, which takes Misako, Kyouka, Kunio, and Riki to the streets for another brawl.
Meanwhile, a new update for Mario Strikers: Battle League is available, bringing two additional characters to the field when Bowser Jr. and Birdo join the team. There are also new stadiums to check out, new chat features to try, new gear to test, and maybe it’s time to dust off his old football boots and try them all on vacation.
Fire Emblem Heroes is celebrating the imminent release of Fire Emblem Engage with a new event, along with special activities across Fall Guys, Rocket League, and Apex Legends. Some games also have big sales, so don’t miss them.
