Nintendo eShop Weekly Update Includes Over 20 Games for the Holidays

Written by Brandon Hofer on December 15, 2022

News: There isn’t a shortage of new games to check out with some sequels and updates arriving in the eShop this week.

Nintendo has revealed what you can expect to find with their weekly update in the eShop. This week brings one featured title alongside a content update for a first-party Nintendo game. In addition to that, there are over 20 other games that will be arriving in Nintendo’s online shop over the next few days. Each game that you see listed below is available right now unless otherwise noted.

River City Girls 2

The River City Girls are ready for round 2! When an old foe resurfaces, Misako, Kyoko, Kunio, and Riki – joined by newcomers Marian and Provie – hit the streets for a new beat-’em-up adventure packed with new abilities, enemies, and environments! Team up for local or online co-op, then pound punks into the dirt with new guard-crush attacks, lift-off combos, double-team maneuvers, and other knuckle-busting techniques. Level up to earn new moves, buy items and accessories in more than 30 shops, and recruit defeated foes and hired heavies to help you on your way. River City is bigger than ever, with more locations to explore, more objects to destroy, and a day-night cycle. With non-linear gameplay, a dynamic story system, and another soundtrack by Megan McDuffee, River City Girls 2 will keep you brawling until all your enemies yell, “BARF!”

Mario Strikers: Battle League

A free update for the Mario Strikers: Battle League game for the Nintendo Switch system is here, and features the newly added strikers Bowser Jr. and Birdo. Boasting precision passing and striking power in equal measure, Bowser Jr. and Birdo bring their raucous ruckus far afield – including to a new city-themed stadium. Plus, a new in-game Quick Chat feature and a fresh set of Shellfish Gear round out the update to shake things up. This free update is available now for all Mario Strikers: Battle League players.
