Switch eShop

Earlier this year, the Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers program began. Nintendo Switch Online members have been given the opportunity to save some cash on digital games published by the Big N. A pair of vouchers can be purchased for $99.99, and can then be used on the likes of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Super Mario Maker 2. It’s basically a way of saving up to $20.

Keep in mind that the offer is about to end. Nintendo Switch Online members can purchase vouchers through July 31, and then that’s it. Vouchers must be redeemed within 12 months from purchase date.

Years after it’s initial launch, DC Universe Online will be making its way to Switch on August 6. Some might be wondering: how did this happen in the first place?

Daybreak Game Company head Jack Emmert and executive producer Leah Bowers began talking about the idea after Bowers received a Switch as a Christmas gift and was impressed with the hardware. Despite some uncertainty as to whether or not it would actually work, the team received development kits and went from there.

D3Publisher revealed this week that it will release Omega Labyrinth Life in the west. The game will be sold on the eShop, where it will also have a Deluxe Edition.

The Omega Labyrinth Life Deluxe Edition “is jam-packed with a bargain set of DLC, including costumes to dress characters up in on the home screen, items to change academy BGM into character songs from the series, and more.” Some exclusive DLC is also included.

The full lineup of what’s packed in is as follows:

God Eater 3

System: Switch
Release date: July 12, 2019
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Bandai Namco


God Eater has had a long and fruitful history since debuting close to a decade ago. The latest entry, God Eater 3, still stays true to the series’ roots with a deep customization system, mission output, and reasonable hubs. But what make it really stand out this time around is the overall tone, structure, and feel since it’s been developed by an entirely different team this time around, moving from Shift over to Marvelous. God Eater 3 takes the best portions of each of its predecessors to give a game that feels whole and connected, with seamless field traversal, new types of God Eaters known as AGEs – or Adaptive God Eaters – as well as fast-paced fighting and action to give a larger sense of fluidity that’s usually missing in games of this nature.

Yesterday, Bethesda brought three classic Doom games to Switch. Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3 can all be found on the eShop. These launches were great news for fans, but it didn’t come without a bit of controversy.

In order to play the classic Doom games, players have been required to log in to a Bethesda.net account. It’s far from the worst thing in the world, but some viewed it as an inconvenience while others simply weren’t interested in signing up. Thankfully, a fix is on the way.

This week’s Switch eShop charts are as follows:
