The Nintendo Switch eshop has a big surprise in store for players. A great game that was recently removed from the store is playable again.
The Nintendo Switch is experiencing its final months. Even if the Switch 2 isn’t ready to step out of the shadows just yet, the Japanese company is slowly giving up on its hybrid. After the launch of Princess Peach: Showtime last March, the device no longer has any truly new cartridges in stock. To fill the schedule until the replacement is announced, the console will have crumbs. The biggest projects expected in 2024 are the remake of Paper Mario: Millennium Door and the HD remaster of Luigi’s Mansion 2.
A Square Enix nugget returns to the Nintendo Switch eShop
Last month, in March 2024, Japanese publisher Square Enix made the decision to remove one of its best games from the Nintendo Switch Store. A strange deletion, especially since the company did not provide any explanation. Even now, we don’t know what could have caused the company to remove its title from the eShop. On the other hand, Square Enix had promised that this disappearance would only be temporary, and that’s true. The wonderful Octopath Traveler, a J-RPG with gorgeous HD 2D graphics, is back digitally on Nintendo Switch.
“Octopath Traveler is back on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Thank you for your patience “ indicates Square Enix X. If you’ve been waiting to be able to play it on the Big N console, it’s now possible. Are you still hesitating? A demo is available to download, and if you’re a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber you can even get the full game for free. All you need to do is have enough “vouchers” and exchange them for the Square Enix J-RPG.
Octopath Traveler has captivated more than one fan of the genre with its beautiful homage to the Japanese role-playing games of yesteryear with devastating pixel art. A style and a nostalgic trip into the past that earned the game excellent marks. In this adventure, the player takes turns taking on the roles of eight travelers, creating eight expeditions, each with different talents and story goals. It is available on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, as is its sequel Octopath Traveler 2.
