A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Nintendo Switch eShop. These includes the lowest prices ever for OlliOlli World, multiple The Legend of Heroes games, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
System: Switch
Release date: August 19, 2025
Developer: WayForward
Publisher: WayForward
After twenty years of trying, WayForward’s loveable half-genie hero’s lost adventure has finally made its way to consoles in Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. Originally in development almost immediately after the completion and release of the original Shantae on Game Boy Color, Risky Revolution was intended to be the second entry in the series, but due to mitigating circumstances, the GBA-developed title was put on indefinite hiatus. A lot of ideas and concepts from this game were reused in future additions to the series, like Risky’s Revenge and Half-Genie Hero, but series creator Matt Bozen always maintained his hope and desire to see it make its way to release. Now in 2025, we finally get to see what we had missed out on decades ago.
Romeo Is a Dead Man may have a shot at coming to Nintendo Switch 2. At the very least, director Suda51 is interested in making it happen.
Suda51 is best known for his work on the No More Heroes series. Romeo Is a Dead Man, a third-person action adventure game, is his next project. In a recent interview, Suda51 mentioned that the team is now conducting tests to see if a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Romeo Is a Dead Man is technically possible.
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Nintendo Switch games. These include Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, Demonschool, and more.

When you think of Nintendo Switch 2, you’re probably thinking of all the new games confirmed for the system – and that’s completely understandable. Generally speaking, Nintendo releases one new major title per month to spread them out. If you’ve played tons of Nintendo Switch games and finished the latest Switch 2 game, what are you supposed to play in the time between? That’s where Switch Online’s Nintendo Classic range comes in.
Nintendo has added a lot of games to their NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance platforms, and it’s a great idea to try out some older titles while you wait for the next new one. Their lineup of retro games is about to get a whole lot better, too: not only are GameCube games starting to release on the system, but it’s also got a built-in microphone, which theoretically makes Nintendo DS games possible as well. So today, we’re going over some of the best offerings on Nintendo Switch Online plus some new games Nintendo could realistically add over the Switch 2’s (hopefully) long lifespan.
