Nintendo eShop new releases (week 08)
Posted 27 Feb 2021 at 11:53 by Dennis Tummers
It's a good week for the Nintendo Switch eShop as some fairly big games are launching. Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection finally sees the return of knight Arthur, in another brutal instalment of the Ghosts 'n Goblins series. It combines old-style platforming with new twists such as magic and a co-op mode.
Fans of traditional JRPGs can dive into Bravely Default II, a classic role playing game with a praised battle system. Fans of the Persona series can get going with Persona 5 Strikers, which is not an RPG but a musou-style game like Hyrule Warriors and Samurai Warriors.
Finally, the Digital Deals eShop sale runs until February 28th, so this is your last chance to pick up a game for up to 75% discount.
As always the full list of new releases, DLC and demos can be found below after the Highlights.
