Final Fantasy, DK and eFootball join this week’s eShop roundup

Posted on by FGH Team

This week’s eShop roundup brings us the second Final Fantasy VII reimagining, Rebirth, along with classic DK, eFootball, new ways to listen to Nintendo Music, and more. Let’s dive in.

First up is the second of the three-part Final Fantasy VII remakes: Rebirth. This glorious-looking adventure takes us back into the world of Cloud and Sephiroth as we discover more about Sephiroth’s plans to take over the world. And, we just heard as part of the recent Summer Game Fest that the third instalment now has a name and release window! We’re excited to hear that Revelation will hit the Switch 2 alongside other consoles in spring 2027.

Meanwhile, back to this week, and Donkey Kong 64’s first 3D outing is now available on Switch Online Classics. Donkey Kong 64 originally hit the Nintendo 64 way back in 1999. This collectathon was developed by Rare, and heralded the N64’s Expansion Pack at the time. incidentally, it was a long time before DK got to strut his stuff in 3D again, with last year’s Donkey Kong Bananza taking us all pleasantly by surprise.

eFootball Kick-Off is another highlight of the week, bringing the passion and thrills of soccer to the Switch 2. You can play solo or with friends, offline or online, with your own club team, participate in competitions around the globe or take on International Cup. There’s a six-a-side mode, rank Newer players can also get in on the action with “six-a-side” matches that create plenty of goal-scoring opportunities, and a Rank-based system where your performance is evaluated as you learn the skills needed to win matches. eFootball Kick-Off! is available now on Nintendo Switch 2.

There’s also new music to enjoy, and Nintendo Music can now be played on more devices. This means you can stream Nintendo tunes from your car, phone, or web browser. Nice!

There’s a long list of games to peruse, so check them out below and let us know what you’ll be playing this weekend.
