Nintendo eShop’s New May 18, 2017 Releases

Continuing from last week’s introduction, I finally spent some time with my Nintendo Switch! Not as much as I’d like, but my first impressions were positive. And I’m excited for the upcoming ARMS demo, too.

Anyway, my 3DS is still active, which is great! It gets the most notable release for this week’s eShop update.

NINTENDO ESHOP RELEASES – MAY 18, 2017

Disgaea 5 Complete will launch for the Nintendo Switch on May 23. As the latest in Nippon’s strategy RPG series, fans likely know what to anticipate. Moreover, those who’d like an early look can try a free demo.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, a reimagining of the Famicom’s Fire Emblem Gaiden, is almost ready to ride. The latest installment in one of Nintendo’s key properties blends aspects from the classic and modern titles in its lineage, with the same core turn-based mechanics you’re fond of. Alm and Celica both lead their concurrent paths in the story, but will their combined efforts save Valentia? So, go all out tomorrow in the final mainline Fire Emblem game for the 3DS family. A Limited Edition and DLC are available, too.

Blazing Lazers, for the Wii U’s Virtual Console, was originally released for the TurboGrafx-16. A space shooter with an overhead perspective, you’re tasked with shielding Earth from the Dark Squadron.
