Nintendo eShop Update: Super Mario RPG, Persona 5 Tactica - Gaming Age (1)

While there are lots of new games hitting this Switch this week — including a few from Tuesday’s Indie World showcase, in case you missed it! — there are a pair of major releases worth highlighting: Super Mario RPG and Persona 5 Tactica.

Super Mario RPG, of course, is a remake of the SNES classic from the ’90s. This new version features updated visuals, music, and battle mechanics — along with a host of other updates — but it looks like it retains all the charm of the original, which means it’s worth checking out.

As for Persona 5 Tactica, it’s another spin-off from the already-beloved Persona 5, and this time out it finds the series entering into the world of tactical RPGs. Check out our review from a few days ago if you want to know more about what makes this game so excellent!
