So, let’s get started out. Below are the best Switch eShop games of September 2024!

Honourable Mentions:

Even though these titles failed to quite make our prime three this thirty day period, they are however definitely worthy of examining out:

The Forgotten City - Cloud Version (Switch eShop)The Forgotten City - Cloud Version (Switch eShop)

Publisher: Dear Villagers / Developer: Modern day Storyteller

Release Date: 23rd Sep 2024 (Usa) / 23rd Sep 2024 (Uk/EU)

Taking third place this month is The Neglected City, which has arrived on Change as a ‘Cloud Version’. This mystery experience is a excellent piece of narrative work with great creating and voice acting and a actually gripping story. A properly-offered and good timeloop match, this would be a super-uncomplicated recommendation on other platforms, but cloud gaming in a natural way comes with its personal dangers.

If you have a solid and steady online connection and will not really feel like you’d be set off by occasional cloud-associated technical hiccups (and are also information that one particular working day, your video game will basically vanish), then the gameplay by itself is completely truly worth your time.

Eastward (Switch eShop)Eastward (Switch eShop)

Publisher: Chucklefish / Developer: Pixpil Game titles

Release Date: 16th Sep 2024 (Usa) / 16th Sep 2024 (Uk/EU)

Jumping up to 2nd spot we have Eastward, a memorable Zelda-like featuring dungeons comprehensive of treasure, enemies, and puzzles to learn. In our assessment, we praised the game for its innovative gameplay sequences, its heartwarming and psychological story, and its fantastic art way, all combining together to make for a great encounter.

The only term of warning we have is that it can occasionally be a very slow-paced affair, but if that isn’t going to set you off, we would definitely recommend it. And hey, so several associates of the NL workforce have liked their time with it that it can be acquired 2nd spot in this checklist!

Castlevania Advance Collection (Switch eShop)Castlevania Advance Collection (Switch eShop)

Publisher: Konami / Developer: Konami

Launch Date: 23rd Sep 2024 (United states) / 24th Sep 2024 (British isles/EU)

In first spot, nevertheless, and getting top prize in this month’s eShop Selects awards is Castlevania Advance Assortment, which is unsurprisingly a collection of Castlevania video games that appeared on the great previous Video game Boy Progress.

You’ll obtain Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow, and Vampire’s Kiss all provided in the bundle, and if we’re honest, we’d possibly have voted this recreation into our best three just for Aria of Sorrow by itself. While the video games do share certain similarities, we discovered them to be distinct sufficient to be really worth examining out (or replaying if you have experimented with them ahead of).

Also, staying able to legitimately decide up four more mature Castlevania game titles these days for significantly less than $20 is a steal, so get it downloaded and bounce in!



How we decide our eShop Selects top three: As we reach the end of every month, the Nintendo Life staff vote on their favourite titles from a list of games selected by the editorial team. To qualify for this list, these games must have been released as a digital-only Nintendo Switch eShop title in that particular month, and must have been reviewed on Nintendo Life we select the qualifying games based on their review scores.

Staff are then asked to vote for three games that they think deserve to sit right at the very top of that list first choice gets 3 points, second choice gets 2 points, and third choice gets 1 point. These votes are then tallied to create a top three list, with the overall winner taking that month’s top prize.
