Tomb Raider IV-VI Collection Added to This Week’s eShop Lineup

Wondering what’s the buzz on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Get ready for a couple of exciting highlights: a fresh Tomb Raider collection is landing, along with the captivating Afterlove EP. Seems like these releases are just perfect for the Valentine’s Day vibe.

Remember last year when Tomb Raider I-III Remastered hit the Nintendo Switch? That gave us a sweet taste of adventure and now it’s time to dive back in with Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered. This collection bundles the next trio of games in this beloved series. Here’s a fun tidbit: February 14 marks Lara Croft’s birthday. So, really, what could be a better way to celebrate than embarking on new adventures with Lara herself? We’re stumped.

On another note, Afterlove EP is something worth looking out for. From the creator of Coffee Talk, this game is a seamless blend of a visual novel, rhythm challenges, and adventure. It’s a unique journey where you craft an EP of music, all wrapped in stunning visuals and diverse soundscapes, with multiple endings to uncover. It’s certainly a fresh twist on the genre that seems intriguing.

And if that’s not enough, there’s new music hitting the Nintendo Music app, along with an exciting update to the Switch Online collection featuring Wario Land 4. That’s quite a mix of updates! We’ll be diving into these in detail on our next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast, so be sure to tune in.
