Disney, Minecraft, and Mega Man join this week’s eShop roundup

The Nintendo Switch eShop has been updated with a ton of new content. This week’s eShop highlights include a new racing title from none other than Disney. Thes fast-sounding Disney Speedstorm features a mix of Disney and Pixar characters in a combat racer, and comes from the creators of the Asphalt series. The only question is, can it compete with the likes of Mario Kart and Nickelodeon Racers?

Minecraft is also back in the headlines with something called Minecraft Legends, an action-adventure title that sees monsters from another dimension invade a peaceful land. Can you save the blocky world this time?

Meanwhile, Pokémon Stadium joins the Switch Online list of N64 games, making its way back into our lived all the way from the year 2000. You can relive the action of this classic battle arena, which features every Pokémon from the Red, Blue, and Yellow games.

Fan-favorite Mega Man is back as well, with a new Battle Legacy collection. This set of Game Boy Advance titles features grid-based combat, with special features like a gallery of over 1000 illustrations.

And that’s just a taste of this week’s offerings. Check out the long list of new eShop titles below. Which games will you be playing this weekend?
