Sure thing! Here goes:

So, this week, Europe’s Nintendo eShop had its big update and, oh boy, it’s a mixed bag of goodies ranging from Nintendo Switch 2 to good old Nintendo Switch. Loads of new games. Discounts too — if you can be bothered scrolling through it all.
Let’s start with the Nintendo Switch 2, which, by the way, I find kinda hard to keep up with. Anyone else?
First up, “Chillin’ By The Fire.” It sounds cozy, doesn’t it? But honestly, who knows what it is until you try it. Then there’s “Dear Me, I Was…” and I’m like, was what? The intrigue is real. And then “Handy Hockey.” Maybe it’s just me, but every time I hear “handy,” I think of pocket-sized tools. Anyway.
Oh, and the epic-sounding “Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.” Can titles get any longer? It’s like they’re competing for the most words.
Now, moving onto our classic Nintendo Switch… and geez, there are a ton of these. A few standouts include “鞭空翔～Whip/Sky/Fly～” — I probably butchered that name, sorry. But isn’t it fascinating how some game names sound like a full-on action sequence? Then there’s “A Dream About Parking Lots,” which feels oddly relatable. Ever dreamt about parking lots? Just me? Might be a meditation thing.
“AirJet Fighter: Sky Assault” sounds intense. Like, imagine the noise of those jets. Would they sound like cardboard scraping against ice? Can’t explain why that’s what popped into my head.
Then, things take a softer turn with “Cats Visiting The Cinema” — I mean, picturing cats with little suitcases makes me giggle. Do they bring popcorn? Or is that too mainstream? Speaking of food, you’ve got “Coffee Shop Simulator.” Because who doesn’t want to virtually caffeinate when you can do it IRL?
In a surprise twist, there’s “Date With Devils.” Romantic? Scary? A plot twist waiting to happen, maybe. And what’s with “Dreaming In Cherry Blossoms, I Fall In Love With You”? I bet the landscapes in that game are off-the-charts pretty.
“Escape Game: The Odd Crime Scene” — now that sounds like it’s one brain teaser after another. If puzzles are your thing, maybe this one’s your jam.
I feel like I’m jumping all over here, but hold on — there’s a game called “EGGCONSOLE Manhattan Requiem: Angels Flying In The Dark PC-8801” and my brain just short-circuited. Who names these?
Wrapping up with a few more: “Spiral” (simple title, thumbs up!), “Tales of the Shire: A Lord of The Rings Game” — can’t go wrong there, right? Oh, and anything “slime” or “wizard” has to be fun, like “Slime Heroes” or “The Wizard of Bug.”
So yeah, there you have it. This week on Nintendo eShop. A little messy, a little magical. Dive in if you dare.
