SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, Crashlands, Road Redemption, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week

More than 30 new games will be added to the Switch eShop this week, so let’s once more dive into Nintendo’s newest digital offerings.
Available to download next Tuesday, November 13, is SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. Now known for its huge stable of fighting games, this compilation goes further back into SNK’s legacy and plucks out a few gems such as Crystalis and the Ikari Warriors trilogy.
Other games of interest in this week’s eShop update include Crashlands, an adventure game about an intergalactic delivery driver who took a wrong turn; Road Redemption, a racing game about post-apocalyptic motorcycle gangs; and Valiant Hearts: The Great War, Ubisoft’s side-scrolling story of “friendship, love, sacrifice, and tragedy” centered on World War I.
