The Nintendo Switch Sports Basketball update is available now. (Graphic: Business Wire)

• Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch:
  • Nintendo Switch Sports Basketball Update – Get ready to dribble, shoot and score, because Basketball has been added in this free software update to the Nintendo Switch Sports game*! Step on to the court solo for a Three-Point Challenge — or take on your friends in a Three-Point Contest in local multiplayer** to see who can sink the most shots from downtown. You can also show off your dunking skills with friends and other players online*** in Two-on-Two mode!

• Digital Spotlight
  • “Fin” Some Games to Play – It’s Shark Awareness Day this Sunday, so why not check out some games featuring these toothy fish of the deep? Take a dive into Endless Ocean Luminous where you can discover over 500 aquatic creatures, even some that are assumed extinct and mythical! Or if you’d rather stay on land, catch a shark for your museum (or your own personal aquarium) in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Whether you’re by the bay or far inland, you can make a splash with some finned friends on the Nintendo Switch system.

Pre-Orders:

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate – The heroic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need to fend off the Foot Clan and rescue their kidnapped master in their first roguelike adventure! Travel through reality-bending portals where every level has the potential to change with randomized power-ups, changing room layouts and boss modifiers. Permanently upgrade and strengthen your Turtle powers by spending in-game currency on ability-enhancing artifacts and use your increased skills to take on more challenging runs. Explore iconic New York City locations solo or jump online*** with up to three other players in drop-in/drop-out co-op play. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate leaps onto Nintendo Switch as a timed console exclusive July 17. Pre-orders are available now on Nintendo eShop.
