Nintendo Switch eShop’s Weekly Update Includes Anticipated Sequels and More

Written by Brandon Hofer on August 08, 2024

News: There are a lot of new games to select from this week with some being bigger names everyone knows while others are making their debut.

Nintendo’s weekly update has arrived showcasing some new games that will be arriving on their portable platform over the next few days. For this week’s update we have two featured games to go alongside the more than 45 other games that will be making their debut. Each game that you see listed below is available right now unless otherwise noted.

SteamWorld Heist II

Get ready for an epic adventure on the high seas in this sequel to the critically-acclaimed SteamWorld Heist game! All is not well on the waves of the Great Sea – the waters are turning corrosive and eating away at the metal bodies of its robotic denizens. As the captain of a rag-tag crew of Steambots, you’ll lead the way through intense turn-based gunfights, where bullets can ricochet with deadly precision. This time around, there’s a world-map to explore, but be careful – there are no turns to take on the Great Sea, so you’ll have to engage in real-time naval combat against enemy vessels. Also new for this sequel is a job system with in-depth character customization options. With more than 150 weapons, utility items and ship equipment pieces, you can strategically craft your crew to best fit the mission at hand.

Cat Quest III

In this cute and casual action RPG, you’ll play as a swashbuckling feline privateer sailing the Purribean in search of the North Star, a long-lost mythical treasure. But beware: The seas are swarming with Pi-rats, under orders from the Pirate King to hunt you down! Explore a gorgeous new world solo or in local co-op and encounter fierce battles with the newly refined combat system, now featuring weapon swapping and tighter attack combos. And, for the first time in the series, sail the seas and battle in your very own ship! The Purribean is yours to explore when Cat Quest III launches for Nintendo Switch today. A free demo is also available on Nintendo eShop.

In addition to those two games, fans can pick up these other titles to help build their game collection on the Nintendo Switch.
