This week’s Nintendo eShop new releases are led by a Switch 2 headliner, with Pikmin 4 returning in an enhanced edition alongside a big Atlus RPG, a Sonic party game, and two very different indies. There is something here for strategy fans, RPG players, and families alike.
Below are the five games worth your attention first, followed by every other new arrival on Switch and Switch 2 this week. Prices are in US dollars, and you can browse the full store at Nintendo.com.
Notable Nintendo eShop New Releases This Week
Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy
Pikmin 4 returns on Switch 2 with sharper visuals and a new way to play. The $69.99 edition, or a $9.99 upgrade pack for existing owners, adds voice commands for Oatchi and Dandori Academy, a set of timed puzzle challenges that will grow to 72 stages over time, plus Dandori Battles shared through GameShare. It is the clear headline of the week, and the most complete version of an already charming strategy adventure.

Metaphor: ReFantazio
Atlus brings its acclaimed fantasy RPG to Switch 2 for $39.99, out November 12. You compete in the Tournament for the Throne, unlock Archetype powers, and switch between turn-based battles and real-time combat as you travel a divided kingdom. On Switch 2 you can choose Graphics, Balanced, or Performance mode, so it is a strong pick if you missed it on other platforms.
SONIC PICO PARK
SONIC PICO PARK is a $9.99 co-op action-puzzle game for Switch 2 and Switch, out November 12. It is built for two to eight players locally or online, with Sonic and friends bouncing through stages full of rings, loops, and springs and solving puzzles together rather than racing each other. At this price, it is an easy pick for a family game night.
RACCOIN: Chaos Max Edition
RACCOIN turns the coin pusher into a roguelike. For $11.99 on Switch 2, out November 10, you pick from eight characters, push coins, and build runs that change every time. Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and an exclusive arcade cabinet skin give the Switch 2 version its own flavour, and the low price makes it an easy curiosity to try.
TANUKI: Pon’s Summer
TANUKI: Pon’s Summer is a cozy life sim for Switch 2 and Switch, priced at $19.99 and out November 10. You play Pon, a tanuki delivering mail by BMX, helping neighbours and restoring a shrine ahead of the Great Tanuki Festival. It is gentle and sunny, and a nice counterpoint to the week’s bigger releases.
