What’s happening on the eShop this week? As the end of the year approaches, there’s no shortage of great content to play on the Switch, with this week’s highlights being Batman: Arkham Trilogy and Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince.

The Arkham series of games began in 2009 with Arkham Asylum. This dark, critically acclaimed outing sparked several sequels, including 2011’s Arkham City and 2015’s Arkham Knight. Although Arkham Origins is missing from this collection, it’s still a hefty pack of Gotham City’s finest action.

Meanwhile, Dragon Quest Monsters returns with The Dark Prince, in which you travel the lands to collect, train, and combine monsters. As your allies become more powerful, you’ll be able to take on stronger enemies on you quest through the demon realm of Nadiria.

The Black Friday sales continue this weekend, with some great discounts on offer until December 4. Check out what’s on offer and let us know about your bargain finds; who knows, we might even discuss it on the next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast!

As always, there’s a long list of new titles to discover and enjoy, so let’s get to it! Check out the full list of releases below. Which games will you be playing this weekend?
