Indiana Jones whips into this week’s Nintendo eShop roundup

A new week means fresh eShop content to explore! We’re a little late with this week’s download wrap up, but with good reason – we were somewhat distracted by that Star Fox news. In any case, this week’s eShop releases includes the likes of Mixtape and Indiana Jones. Two very different games that both look great in their own way.

First up is none other than Indiana Jones. Yep, Indy is back in action with the Great Circle, an adventure originally released in late 2024. This is the sort of game Nintendo fans might have missed out on previously, but thanks to the power of the Switch 2, we can enjoy this outing on our fave hybrid console. The story is set between classic Indy outings Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Last Crusade, making it one for the fans. We can’t wait to get our own hands on it.

Next up is Mixtape, a narrative adventure set in the 1990s. This one’s a simultaneous release across platforms, so Nintendo fans won’t have to wait in line. The game is about three friends on their last night of high school as they embark on one more adventure together. Music plays a big role in this outing making this a very interesting and nostalgic look at the world that best of decades known as the ’90s.

There’s a long list of other games to tempt you, so scroll through the list below and let us know which ones you’re playing this week.
