REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#nintendoswitch–This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:
- Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
- MAQUETTE – MAQUETTE is a first-person recursive puzzle game that takes you into a world where every building, plant and object are simultaneously tiny and staggeringly huge. Head to the center of the world and you’ll feel like a giant, towering over buildings and walls. But venture further out and start to feel small as things get larger and larger – to the point where cracks in the ground become chasms! In MAQUETTE you will explore the scales of everyday problems in a modern-day love story, where sometimes the smallest of issues can become insurmountable obstacles. Solve the puzzle today on Nintendo Switch!
- Cassette Beasts – Explore New Wirral, a remote island inhabited by strange creatures you’ve only dreamed of, nightmares you hopefully haven’t and a cast of brave folks who use cassette tapes to transform for battle. To find a way home you’ll need to explore every inch of the island and record monsters to your trusty cassette tapes to gain their abilities! Cassette Beasts is available today!
- Digital Spotlight
- Celebrate International Museum Day on Your Island! – Visit Blather’s Museum in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for International Museum Day! Work with Tom Nook to bring the museum curator, Blathers, to unlock the museum on your island. Search for fossils, fish, bugs and art to donate to the exhibit! Once you bring a creature or fossil to Blathers, he will gladly tell you all about it. And although handling bugs, well, bugs him, he’ll still treat them with great care! Visit your island’s museum this International Museum Day and complete the Stamp Rally! Each gallery will have a stamp station where players can acquire stamps to earn a prize. The Stamp Rally ends on May 31.

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.
