Fantasy Life i Joins This Week’s eShop Lineup

Boy, oh boy, is there a lot going down on the Nintendo eShop this week. You ever just wait forever for something, and then suddenly, bam! It drops in your lap? That’s Fantasy Life i for you. Took its sweet time, but it’s finally here. After a lineup of delays—and some killer trailers to get us hyped—the follow-up to that 2012 3DS wonder is now ready for action. I mean, seriously, they packed it with so much stuff! Fourteen life roles, folks. Fourteen! You get to build your town, hop between timelines, all that jazz. I can already feel the hours evaporate.

Oh, and guess what—tunes are where it’s at too! Kid Icarus has waltzed its way onto Nintendo’s music thingy. Like, both the Famicom and NES versions. Just close your eyes and pretend you’re a kid again, right?

Speaking of ancient wonders, Killer Instinct Gold has hit Nintendo Switch Online. Anyone else remember those sweaty summer days plopped down in front of the N64? Ah, good times with a touch of thumb cramp.

And if you’re gazing over the horizon, the Switch 2 is about to crash into our lives next week. Yeah, you heard right. New pre-orders are up, and I’m talking big names like Hitman, and a bunch of others I can’t remember. June 5 is the magic day. Why do I never have enough money when cool stuff like this happens?

Switch 1 hasn’t been left in the dust either. Please, Don’t Touch the Artwork 2—I mean, really, how do they come up with these names? We’re giving it a spin and, spoiler alert, it’s quite something. Let us know what you’ve got your hands on while we all sit here, biting our nails for the Switch 2.

Alright, dive into the nitty-gritty with the details below, if you dare:

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time — Here we go! New chapter, yay! There are 14 roles—”Lives”—and you can swap classes willy-nilly. A new island awaits. Plus, bring your buddies along for the fun. Available now!

Killer Instinct Gold — Polish those skills! Back from the N64 days, this fighter’s all about those combos. Are you even ready for the 70-hit Ultra Combo? Starter pistol’s gone off—check it out!

And there are pre-orders:

Hitman — Become the ultimate assassin. Who knew stealth could be so stylish? Pre-order now; June 5’s a-coming.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess — Imagine a world where dance and action meet with strategic gameplay. Japanese vibes, and I’m here for it.

Survival Kids — Four kids, a dusty attic, and, bam, adventure time! Set sail, but heads up, wild storms may apply. Pre-order and dive on June 5.

Alright, music lovers!

Angel Land’s soundtracks are out, featuring Kid Icarus. Limber up those wings, and fly through those tunes. Go on a mythical quest without even leaving your couch.

Don’t sleep on this:

Creator’s Voice — Get a glimpse of Hyrule Warriors’ latest news. Epic battles incoming! When? Winter, so you’ve got time.

Are we done? Not even close. Animal Crossing: New Horizons soundtrack will whisk you away to island dreams with its Alarmo update. Paradise every morning? Yes, please.
