What’s happening on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? There are games to pre-order, rewards to redeem, sales to ponder, and new games to inspire. Let’s get to it!

The latest TMNT title is due to hit the Switch in a couple of weeks, but pre-orders are open now. This adventure will take the half-shell heroes in a new direction with their first roguelike outing. The Foot Clan is back, though, and this time they’ve kidnapped Master Splinter. Is this on your wishlist?

Meanwhile, a new Star Wars title is heading our way in August, which is also open for eShop pre-orders now. This adventure is set before the events of Episode II from the perspective of Jango Fett as he bounty-hunts his way across the galaxy. Let us know if you’re ready to pre-order this adventure that’s not so far, far away.

Some new rewards are doing the rounds on the My Nintendo store that might be worth checking out, particularly if you’re loving Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. You can also enter a few sweepstakes that celebrate both Tears of the Kingdom and Animal Crossing. Get your entries in now!

Phew, that’s a lot to cover, and we haven’t even got to the new games yet! This week’s long list of 40 eShop titles includes games like Battle Cats, Brain Training, and Legend of Heroes. Check out the full list of new releases and other updates below. Let us know what you’re playing this weekend, and tune into the weekly Pure Nintendo Podcast to hear what’s on our own playlists!
