Happy new year! As we usher in a new year and begin another annual treck around the sun, thereās still the reliability of new content for the Nintendo Switch eShop. This weekās list of new titles is smaller than usual, with just a pair of new games, but we have continued sales and a new Echoes of Wisdom sweepstakes to welcome us all to 2025.
If youāre a fan of Echoes of Wisdom ā we certainly are ā then you wonāt want to miss the current My NintendoĀ competition. This sweepstakes ends on 7 January, giving you a chance to win a goodies pack of lovely Zelda-themed items.
The holiday sale continues, with some massive discounts on the eShop until 5 January. If you havenāt already, check out the full list of discounted titles. With literally 100s of specials, the only problem is narrowing down the choice, really.
In terms of new games, there might only be two titles this week, but that gives us both something to look forward to as well as allowing plenty of time to catch up those 2024 back logs. We all have those, right? Check out our 2024 top ten for gaming inspiration!
This week, though, we begin with the impressive-looking Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, a revamped version of the classic action RPG. Weāre already working on a review for this one, so stay tuned. You can check out our Ys Memoire preview in the meantime to whet your appetite.
Next up is Rivenaarās Grove, a top-down fantasy adventure with sliding mechanics. You play the role of a magicianās apprentice who must clear fields in over 50 levels full of obstacles.
Check out the full roundup of whatās happening on the eShop this week below. How are you ringing in the new year?
