We're not ready for another week of star-studded releases on Nintendo platforms, but that's what we're getting. We have way too many games to play right now, but Nintendo is about to open another flood-gate, and this week we're getting so many fantastic games on Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

This morning Nintendo sent out a press release to remind us about everything about to hit the eShop, and my friends, you're going to have your hands full! We're going to start off with the heavy hitters on Nintendo Switch and 3DS, and then move on to some of the smaller (but still fantastic) games and indie titles making their way into your libraries soon.
