What’s happening on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Aside from a very, VERY long list of new titles, there are a few highlights in the form of Marvel vs. Capcom and Yars Rising.

The former takes seven classic games and thrusts them together into one vast collection featuring heroes, villains, and everything in between from the Marvel and Capcom universes. That’s a lot of action to enjoy, which is sure to evoke some retro love with fans.

Then there’s Yars Rising. This side-scroller features a cool throwback to a classic Atari game in the best way possible. You play the role of a hacker escaping an evil corporation, hacking her way through as she uncovers the truth behind the company’s plans. We’re working on our review, so keep an eye out for that soon!

But that’s not all; in fact, there are over 60 new titles hitting the Switch this week. There’s bound to be somethng for everyone, but we want to know what YOU’RE playing! So, let us know in the comments section or on one of our social channels. We also discuss the games we’re playing on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, so tune in every Monday for all the details.
