• Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch:
  • ANTONBLAST – The devil himself has stolen your prized spirit collection, and you’re on a rampage to get it back in this dynamic action-platformer that combines destructive action with gorgeous hand-drawn pixel art! Wielding the Mighty Hammer as Dynamite Anton or the Massive Mace as Dynamite Annie, you’ll lay waste to wacky worlds and go toe-to-toe with brutish bosses. Smash up the scenery to forge your path and find new areas to explore. At the end of each level, a detonator will start ticking down, so you’ve got to rush back to the beginning before everything explodes! Get ready for a destructively good time when ANTONBLAST launches for the Nintendo Switch system on Dec. 13. A free demo is available now on Nintendo eShop.
  • Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered – Experience the epic conflict of Kain and Raziel in its original form, or with remastered graphics!

Slay your former vampire brethren with your claws, bolts of telekinetic energy and the elemental Wraith Blade. Grow stronger by devouring the souls of your enemies. This game includes both Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 and is available now on Nintendo eShop!
• Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online
  • Tetris^® – Enjoy this version of the beloved puzzle game released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989! Stack the seven types of Tetrimino blocks that fall from the top of the Matrix into horizontal lines to gain points and clear lines from the screen. Though the rules are simple, you’ll need speed and strategy to achieve a high score! Play in two modes: A-TYPE, where it’s game over when the Tetriminos reach the top of the screen, or B-TYPE, where you’ll aim for the highest score you can earn within 25 lines. Tetris^® is available for Nintendo Switch Online members* today.
• Game Boy – Nintendo Switch Online
  • Tetris^® DX – In this version of the iconic puzzle game released for the Game Boy Color system in 1998, you can play all kinds of different modes! In the standard MARATHON mode, you’ll only get a game over when the Tetriminos reach the top of the Matrix. In ULTRA mode, you’ll only have three minutes to get the highest score you can. You can also take on 40LINES mode to see how quickly you can get rid of 40 lines. Finally, in VS. COM mode, you can play against the computer in three possible difficulty levels. You can even play against your own levels or your friends’ levels, which are based on prior game results. Polish your skills against the computer, then surprise your friends in 2PLAYER mode! Tetris^® DX is available for Nintendo Switch Online members today.
