Nintendo Download, September 12, 2024: Throwback Thursday

In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their systems. Nintendo Download adds new games weekly to Nintendo eShop, which offers a variety of options for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.

Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos. Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch family of systems.

Customers in the U.S. and Canada ages 18 and older can also link a PayPal account to their Nintendo Account to purchase digital games and content for the Nintendo Switch family of systems both on-device and from the Nintendo website.

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

Featured Games in the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch:

MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics – Earth’s mightiest heroes, most highly trained fighters, vilest villains and uncategorizable creatures are officially coming together across seven fan-favorite games: X-MEN CHILDREN OF THE ATOM, MARVEL SUPER HEROES, X-MEN VS. STREET FIGHTER, MARVEL SUPER HEROES vs. STREET FIGHTER, MARVEL vs. CAPCOM CLASH OF SUPER HEROES, MARVEL vs. CAPCOM 2 New Age of Heroes and even the old coin-op arcade classic THE PUNISHER.

MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is available digitally today on Nintendo eShop.

Yars Rising – From WayForward, the development studio behind Shantae and River City Girls, comes Yars Rising, a side-scrolling action-adventure exploration of one of Atari’s best-known classic titles: Yars’ Revenge.

Take control of the young hacker Emi Kimura, who is hired by a mysterious patron to infiltrate the shadowy QoTech corporation. Run, jump, sneak and hack your way through waves of robotic and alien enemies as you slowly unravel a complex secret shrouded in intrigue.

The game also features a series of challenging retro minigames that pay homage to the original Yars’ Revenge.

Yars Rising is available now.
