Hello Kitty and Phantom Brave join this week’s eShop roundup

Ready to check out the latest titles to hit the eShop? This week’s disparate highlights include an outing with the adorable Hello Kitty and a turb-based adventure of the ghost-busting variety.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure brings the cuteness of the loveable Japanese character to a cozy adventure with her friends. Fun fact: Hello Kitty is over 50 years old, having debuted in 1974. It makes a perfect excuse for fans to check out this title, which is available now.

Meanwhile, Phantom Brave: The lost Hero brings a tactical turn-based adventure to the Switch. We’ve already reviewed this one, enjoying its depth and uniqueness. It’s sure to delight those choosing to stick with it as you work through turn-based battles using ghosts.

A new sale is on now – the Supercharge Sale. This runs on the eShop until 9 February, and there’s a lot of great content to tempt players. From Cult of the Lamb to Crow Country, there’s bound to be something for everyone. We’ll chat about our highlights on the next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast, too, so stay tuned.
