A selection of new titles are now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Including...

The highlight... Arcade Archives Thunder Dragon 2, is a vertically scrolling shmup originally released by NMK in 1993, it looks like another example from within the genre which is well worth checking out.

Deal of the week... Backbone is a Post-noir dystopia where you get to play as a Raccoon detective. It looks to be well-made, it's just over twenty pounds, but if you like the overall feeling from this title just from the screenshots, then it could well be worth the investment of energy, time and money.

Award for "This is a game?!?" goes to... Blackberry Honey, check out the writeup if you like, it might have food in the title, but it's definitely not about cooking.

Worth checking out... About an Elf is... well, just check out the eShop page for yourself.
