Nintendo Switch Adds 12 New Eshop Games And Pokken Tournament DLC This Week

Some more games are now available for Nintendo Switch. This week is fairly light in terms of releases; only 12 new titles have been added to the Eshop, but they include a couple of notable games that are worth a download if you're looking for something new to play on Nintendo's console.

Headlining this week's Switch releases is Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, the third installment in WayForward's well-received platforming series. It's joined by Attack on Titan 2, the video game adaptation of the popular anime and manga series. We called the latter "one of the more surprising releases of the year" in our Attack on Titan 2 review.

Other new releases this week include two more classic Arcade Archives games, World Heroes 2 Jet and Moon Patrol; the humorous horror-puzzle game Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut; the retro beat-'em-up Gekido Kintaro's Revenge; the medieval side-scrolling action game Castle of Heart; and BlazBlue's food-eating rhythm game spin-off, Eat Beat Deadspike-san. You can find the full list of this week's new Eshop games below.

This week also sees the release of the some new DLC for Pokken Tournament DX. Wave 2 of the Battle Pack is now available and introduces another new playable Pokemon to the game: Blastoise. Two more Support Pokemon--Mew and Celebi--have also been added, as have an assortment of new customization items for your avatar.

Wave 2 of the Pokken Tournament DLC can only be purchased as part of the game's $15 Pokken Battle Pack. The first wave released back in February and added Aegislash as a playable Pokemon. It also includes another pair of Support Pokemon--Mega Rayquaza and Mimikyu--and various other items to customize your avatar.
