Nintendo Switch weekly eShop update: Wargroove is here at last

It's Thursday, and Switch owners know what that means: a new batch of games heading to the Nintendo eShop has been revealed. This week, the headliner is unquestionably Wargroove, a strategy game from the folks at Chucklefish that at least somewhat resembles the Advance Wars game of yore. A lot of people have been looking forward to this game for a long time, and now it's finally here.

Well, it's almost here, as it doesn't launch until tomorrow, February 1. Still, a single day of waiting is nothing compared to the two years Switch owners have been waiting thus far. Wargroove was revealed in the very first Nindies Showcase Nintendo held back in January 2017, before the Switch even launched. While many of the games it debuted alongside have long since release, a solid launch date for Wargoove didn't materialize until last week.

While we imagine most Switch owners will primarily be interested in Wargroove this week, there are plenty of other titles heading to the eShop. Those who enjoy a challenge will probably want to check out Downwell, a rougelike platformer that first appeared on iOS and Windows back in 2015. Check out the full list of upcoming releases below:
