Nintendo sta cominciando a diffondere i dettagli, ad una settimana dal lancio della console, sull’eShop di Switch. Infatti, dal 3 marzo sarà possibile acquistare sullo store digitale di Nintendo Switch ben 60 giochi indie tra cui anche FAST RMX, Shovel Knight con le espansioni Specter of Torment e Treasure Trove e tanti altri ancora.
Purtroppo, però, Nintendo Switch al lancio non vanterà la presenza della Virtual Console, ovvero la piattaforma per acquistare i titoli più vecchi come per Wii U e 3DS. Sicuramente sarà possibile trasferire i fondi precedentemente ricaricati sul proprio account anche sull’eShop di Switch mentre i data 28 febbraio, alle ore 18 qui in Italia, sarà possibile assistere alla presentazione di tutti i Nindies presenti sulla prossima console.
