What’s new on the Nintendo eShop? Well, there’s a whole lot! Finally, Fantasy Life i is making its grand entrance. Been waiting for ages, right?

Build towns, cross-console play, the whole shebang. It’s like a sandbox for life.

Switch gears a bit, and there’s this sweet expansion on Nintendo’s music streaming. Remember Kid Icarus? Well, its tunes are now live! Both Famicom and NES versions – talk about nostalgia overload.

Then, for the retro game lovers, Killer Instinct Gold is now on Nintendo Switch Online. Who doesn’t love a good fighter game, right? We chatted about this classic on last week’s Pure Nintendo Podcast. Guess I should’ve taken notes – or maybe not.

Looking ahead, there’s the Switch 2, tantalizingly close. Pre-orders are open! Hitman, Kunitsu-Gami, Survival Kids – these aren’t just names but potential time-stealers, so plan your gaming schedule wisely. June 5th is the drop day, mark it!

Oh, and don’t forget the bunch of newbies on Switch 1, too. Like Please, Don’t Touch the Artwork 2 – we’re scribbling down some thoughts on that one. Share your top picks when the Switch 2 finally drops, will ya?

Now, diving deeper into Fantasy Life i, here’s the deal: 14 roles called “Lives.” Swap classes, explore whatever piques your curiosity on a mystery-filled island. Town building, time-hopping adventures, the whole kit and caboodle. Up to four buds can join online, which is wild. Available now, so go check it out!

As for our beloved N64 classics on Switch – Killer Instinct Gold is back, folks! Dust off those fighting gloves. Arcade mode, Team mode, you name it. Got to admit the Training mode might save some from utter defeat. Master those killer combos – who knew a C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER could be an adrenaline rush?

Now, talking pre-orders: Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition. Get your stealth on. It’s got everything from the previous Hitman series, neatly bundled for June 5th. Go grab it early if globetrotting assassinations are your jam.

And for something a bit more mythical, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess comes alive with its cultural allure and strategic gameplay. Pre-order for some nifty bonuses, like, talismans and an artbook. Not to be missed if mystical journeys are your thing.

Survival Kids? Imagine dust, old maps, and curious kids going on an accidental adventure. This one’s all about cooperation and survival. June 5th is the launch, so prep for exploring the inexplicable.

Oh, and let’s not forget that symphony of heavenly harmonies from Kid Icarus – now on Nintendo Music**. Feel like flying with Pit? It’s quite the auditory trip.

Lastly, coming soon: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Catch this in the next “Creator’s Voice” episode. Dive into epic battles from Hyrule’s hidden past. Definitely worth a look!
