Fantasy Life i Joins This Week’s eShop Lineup

Hey, so, what’s the scoop on the Nintendo eShop this week? Honestly, feels like a mixed bag of nostalgia, future hype, and maybe a sprinkle of chaos. Let’s dig in.

Ah, Fantasy Life i. Finally making an entrance after what felt like an eternity—seriously, how many times did it get delayed? But here it is, screaming with content. Fourteen different roles! Like, you could be a cook or a wizard or something. Switch your class on a whim. Build towns, explore islands, talk to squirrels. Okay, maybe not squirrels. It’s one of those games that swallows time. You could play with buddies online, which is cool—or stressful, depending on your friends. But yeah, it’s out now, so dive in if you want.

Then there’s that Nintendo music thing. They keep adding tracks, and this week, it’s Kid Icarus. I can actually hear the old-school chiptune in my head right now. Both Famicom and NES tracks, which means double the retro vibes. That’s like hitting the nostalgia jackpot.

And guess what, more retro goodies: Killer Instinct Gold. It’s on Switch now. A total knockout, right? We even chatted about it on last week’s podcast. Feels like 1996 all over again. You remember practicing those insane combos, thinking you’d be this fighting game prodigy. Or not. Maybe just me.

Okay, here’s where we flash forward a bit—Switch 2 pre-orders. It’s just around the corner. June 5th is the magic date. Titles like Hitman, Kunitsu-Gami, and Survival Kids are ready to snatch your attention. Seriously, those games sound epic, and there’s a race to see who secures them first. Hitman in disguise, mystical swords, kids at sea—there’s something for everyone.

Oh, right, there are still new games for Switch 1! Like Please, Don’t Touch the Artwork 2. Catchy title, huh? We’re diving into it right now, so stay tuned for our thoughts. What are you playing this week? Hit me up with recommendations while we’re all eagerly (or nervously?) waiting for Switch 2.

Now for something that’s less game and more audible. Check out Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on this ‘Creator’s Voice’ series. They’re dropping hints about epic battles from Hyrule’s past. Seems dramatic. Is it though?

Meanwhile, on a much sunnier note, for all you Animal Crossing fans—rise and shine with the Alarmo’s latest update. Yep, you wake up on island vibes now. Not too shabby, considering most of us are dreaming of paradise anyway. Or just really nice beaches.

That’s a wrap for now. Keep exploring, keep playing, keep living those fantastical Switch lives!
