Written by Brandon Hofer on February 09, 2023

News: The list of games arriving in the eShop this week is pretty long and features both some big Nintendo titles.

Nintendo has released their weekly update for this week and it has some really big titles that you might want to check out. In addition to that, there are some really great indie titles that are more than deserving of your attention. There are two featured titles for this week, along with new two libraries of games arriving on the Switch. In addition to that, there are over 35 other new games for you to choose from in the eShop. Each game that you see listed below is available right now unless otherwise noted.

Metroid Prime Remastered

The first Metroid Prime game has been remastered for the Nintendo Switch system with HD visuals and enhanced sound. Explore Tallon IV from the perspective of Samus Aran. But beware: There’s more to this alien planet than meets the eye. When hostile creatures attack, fight back with Beams, Missiles, Bombs and more. In addition to remastered visuals, this version adds modern dual-stick controls, allowing you to move around while separately changing your point of view. It’s also the first time this classic game can be played on the go! Metroid Prime Remastered is available now.

Blanc - Available February 14

Experience the poetic tale of a wolf cub and a fawn in the spectacular world of Blanc. Lost in a sudden snowstorm, they will have to lean on each other in order to follow the footprints their families left behind in the snow. Two players can take control of either the wolf cub or the fawn and guide them through the environment, and the unforgiving weather and obstacles that they must face together. Each animal has its own unique strengths that complement the other, which you'll need to make use of to navigate through the snowy landscapes. You can build a relationship locally on the same screen or from far away with online play.
