News: There are quite a few new games hitting the eShop this week alongside some DLC packs that people have been waiting to experience.

The weekly update for the Nintendo Switch eShop has arrived and while it is smaller than normal, there is still some stuff here worth checking out. There is one featured game this week alongside two big downloadable packs that you might want to give a chance. In addition to that, there are over 30 other games to choose from, ensuring that there should be something for everyone. Each game that you see listed below is available right now unless otherwise noted.

Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star

Fitness Boxing returns with Fist of the North Star characters appearing as your instructors. Punch your way through the many enemies that stand in your way and aim for victory in boss battles. The Fitness Boxing series is a boxing exercise game that uses the Joy-Con controllers to let you throw different punches to a beat like a rhythm game, all while receiving directions from in-game instructors voiced by popular voice actors.

Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass: Inkopolis

Take a deeper dive into the expansive world and colorful characters of the Splatoon series. Make Inkopolis from the first Splatoon game your stomping ground with the first wave of the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass paid DLC! Another major metropolis of the Splatoon universe, Inkopolis has changed a bit in the past several years with some new shopkeepers. Ready to jam? Then come to Inkopolis to see some fresh Squid Sisters performances during Splatfests. This paid DLC for the Splatoon 3 game features two waves of content. Wave 1 is available now, and Wave 2, Side Order, will launch in the future. Players can also download a content pack that contains bonus in-game items after purchasing the Expansion Pass.
