Nintendo Switch weekly eShop update: Mega Man invasion

It's that time again: Nintendo has detailed another update for the Switch eShop, and this is going to be an exciting one for you Mega Man fans out there. The headliners this week are the two Mega Man X Legacy Collections, which serve as the follow ups to Capcom's successful compilations focusing on the mainline Mega Man series. If you have a soft spot for the blue bomber, you'll want to check them out.

There are two collections in total to buy if you want to have the entire Mega Man X series on Switch. The first Mega Man X Legacy Collection includes Mega Man X through Mega Man X4, while the second collection serves up the later four games in the series ending with Mega Man X8. The collections feature a new X Challenge mode that tasks players with defeating two bosses at once, which will likely be a challenge even for the seasoned Mega Man veterans.

Other than those two, there isn't a whole lot happening this week. Switch owners will get the chance to check out Bomb Chicken, which was announced as a console exclusive for the platform earlier in the year, while 3DS owners will be treated to a demo of WarioWare Gold.
