What’s up with the Nintendo eShop this week? Well, it’s wild, honestly. Fantasy Life i—finally here after what feels like an eternity. Delays, trailers, and all that jazz. Now it’s real and bursting. Fourteen life roles, console cross play, you name it. Sounds like they cram a lot in there, doesn’t it? Town building, a dash of mystery. Good luck unplugging from it.
Oh, and music lovers, guess what? Nintendo’s diving deeper into its own streaming world. Kid Icarus tunes just dropped. Both Famicom and NES versions. I mean, if you want a retro dive, this one’s calling your name.
Remember the N64 days? Killer Instinct Gold is back—right there on the Nintendo Switch Online. Fighting fans, rejoice! We even chatted about it on last week’s Pure Nintendo Podcast. C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER, anyone? Nostalgia’s hitting hard.
And look forward—yep, Switch 2! Just a bit over a week away. Pre-orders are creeping into view. Hitman, Kunitsu-Gami, and Survival Kids are the newcomers trying to win over your wallet. June 5, mark it. Pre-order now or play catch-up later. Sounds fun, right?
