Similar to last week, after it took over the top spot for Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is back at #1. There’s not a ton happening in terms of new releases and it’s mainly about evergreen titles and games on sale taking over.

Below are the full Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of December 20, 2025:

System Shock trailer

System Shock landed on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch 2, and along with that, we have the launch trailer. This is a remake of the 1994 first-person action adventure game.

Some information about the title can be found in the following rundown:

There’s been a lot going on within the world of Tomb Raider recently, including the arrival of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. Ports for both systems were announced and released last month.

To learn more about what went into the launch of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, we spoke with producer manager Jordon Reese from Aspyr. Reese also touched on some other points from us, including the possibility of bringing Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, future Nintendo Switch 2 support, and more.

Here’s our full discussion:

All Nintendo Switch 2 game key card games

Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.

This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.


Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition trailer

Going along with the debut of Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition, Bloober Team uploaded a launch trailer. The definitive edition of the horror game unifies Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, all previously released DLC, and brand-new chapters on Nintendo Switch 2.

Learn more about it with the following rundown:

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar 1.3.0 update

Marvelous is back with another update for Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, bringing the game up to version 1.3.0.

Quality of life features are available including adjusted harvest yields, the ability for horses to eat treats separate from feeding, changes to the dirt mounds created by extreme weather conditions, and optimized character cosmetics to help you customize an even a better-looking farmer. It also adds four new Deluxe Bingo Cards in the latest round of Happy Bingo, a minigame rewarding players with in-game items and cosmetics for completing various activities. 

The full rundown is as follows:

Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t have its own proper Zelda game yet, but Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment could offer a glimpse of what’s to come.

Series producer Eiji Aonuma – and a few others – were speaking about Age of Imprisonment in an interview with 4Gamer this week. To close out the discussion, Aonuma shared a few general words. He noted (via machine translation) that “the inspiration we’ve gained from this collaboration with Koei Tecmo might be reflected in the Zelda games we create in the future.”

Aonuma said during the discussion:

Just a few minutes ago, Bethesda confirmed that it’s shipped a new update for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition on Nintendo Switch 2.

There’s a singular purpose behind the patch, but it’s significant. Once applied, you should find less input latency, which has been a big problem since launch.

Fantasy Life i Sinister Broker Bazario's Schemes

September 24: As part of its Tokyo Game Show festivities, Level-5 revealed The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes DLC for Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. This free content was previously teased for the game.

The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes DLC features a new story and character, new monsters, and more.

Here’s the rundown from Level-5:

Original: One Nintendo Switch 2 publisher has stepped forward, claiming that smaller card sizes are now possible with games released on the system.

Since launch, we’ve heard that companies looking to release titles for the console have only been able to put everything on a 64GB cartridge. In most cases, publishers weren’t interested in that option. Because of that, game-key cards have flooded Nintendo Switch 2 since June, and that’s something collectors haven’t been happy about. Even though you technically get something physically, you still have to download the entire game.
