Nintendo Download: Forge a Path to Greatness in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield

Happy Poké-week. Maybe. Depending on which side of the fence you’re on, this is a good week for the Switch, thanks to 2 new Pokémon games.

Sword and Shield

Let’s be honest, the ‘controversy’ surrounding this week’s Pokémon games is kind of manufactured. Yes, there are some fans who are done on the two new titles, but there are plenty who aren’t. And really, even the ones who are down on them are probably going to play ’em eventually anyway.

Now, if you’re not a Pokémon fan at all, well that’s where this week kind of falls apart. Completely. Yes, Pokémon Sword and Shield are here, but really nothing else is.

Children of Morta is out, though that might be an acquired taste, and so is Garfield Kart: Furious Racing, though that’s obviously not a big name title either. Nonetheless, we’ve got the full list below for your perusing anyway.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch

• Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield– A new generation of Pokémon has arrived on the Nintendo Switch system.
