We’re closing in on the weekend, and that means it’s time to check out what’s new on the Nintendo eShop. This week’s highlight is OPUS: Prism Peak, a game for both Switch and Switch 2. It follows the story of a photographer lost in a surreal spirit world, focusing on photography to solve mysteries.
Meanwhile, baseball fans can get a taste of MLB The Show 26 for free this week. The latest game trial (for North America only) gives players full access to the game for a set period. It’s available now and ends on 29 April, so jump in and try it for yourself.
In the world of Nintendo Music, this week’s addition to the streaming app brings a new playlist. If you’re a ’90s kid who loved the SNES, this one might be for you. It pulls tracks from the glory days of 16-bit era into one place, ready to listen to on the go.
There’s also a long list of new titles to tempt your digital wallet, inlcuding the Vampire Survivors spin-off, Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors. This one could be interesting. We’ll do our best to try it out and talk about it on our upcoming episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
