Hey, how’s everyone been? The Nintendo Switch has been doing pretty well, especially now that it’s getting a rather nice smorgasbord of new titles this week.
NINTENDO ESHOP RELEASES – 6/21/2018
Mario Tennis Aces is the biggest release this week, and for good reason. While the last two Mario Tennis installments were rather subpar, Aces looks to be a return to form for the once vibrant spin-off series, interjecting personality back onto the courts. Mario and his extended social circle is back, some of whom are even dressing up for the occasion. Moreover, the fan-requested story mode is back, introducing a new demonic tennis racket for Mario to combat.

If that fails to entice you, Minecraft is getting a sizable update on the platform, bringing it in line (and offering cross-play) with versions of Minecraft on other non-PlayStation systems. Moreover, the classic puzzle game LUMINES REMASTERED will soon enrich the Switch roster, as will the iconic Ys series’ latest installment.
Here’s everything Nintendo released on the eShop this week:
