Nintendo Switch Eshop Adds A Ton Of New Games This Week

The Nintendo Switch Eshop added a flurry of new games this week, but the biggest involve brave knights doing battle against evil--real or imagined. Altogether the store update includes almost 30 new games giving you plenty to browse as we approach Valentine's Day. Here's what's new.

The headliner is the surprise release of Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales. The single-player RPG uses card battle mechanics similar to Gwent from The Witcher 3 to tell a completely new story featuring the queen Meve. The PC/PS4 version received a 9/10 in GameSpot's review.

For a lighter tone, you might also want to check out Knights and Bikes, a cooperative action game from Double Fine. It's the adventures of two burgeoning friends as they engage in fantasy adventures exploring a mysterious island, with that great steed of childhood: the bike. GameSpot's review found it charming on other platforms and gave it an 8/10.

Finally, one new release that's notable is Kunai, a fast-paced action platformer with Metroidvania elements, starring a sentient tablet with its array of ninja weaponry. Check out GameSpot's Kunai review for more details.

Meanwhile, if you're hunting a bargain, you can check out this week's Eshop sales for some solid discounts, and you can finally pre-order Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the Eshop. Check out the full list of new Eshop releases below.
