Nintendo enthusiasts have much to look forward to with the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on the Switch, alongside National Hat Day celebrations and thrilling sales in the Nintendo eShop.
Nintendo fans are poised for an exciting addition to their gaming library as the iconic franchise, Prince of Persia, is set to launch its newest installment, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, on the Nintendo Switch system on January 18th. With pre-orders already up and running, enthusiasts of the action-adventure platformer can anticipate meeting new characters, delving into an array of mysteries, and immersing themselves in a narrative set against the backdrop of a mythological Persian world. Eager players won’t have to wait until launch to get a taste of what’s to come, as a free demo of the game will be available later today in the Nintendo eShop.
The timing is fitting as National Hat Day approaches on January 15th, encouraging players to celebrate with some of their favorite hat-wearing Nintendo heroes. Gamers can join forces with Cappy in Super Mario Odyssey, style their Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, or embark on a high-flying adventure with Link in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.
Adding to the celebration, Nintendo has announced the release of WarioWare: Move It! magnets, which are claimable by My Nintendo members for 500 Platinum Points. These vividly colored magnets feature beloved characters such as Wario and Mona, designed to offer some lighthearted motivation. Moreover, My Nintendo GameTruck Party Sweepstakes presents an opportunity to win a two-hour party for up to 15 guests. The sweepstakes are open until February 7, and members can register with just 10 Platinum Points per entry.
The festivities do not end there, as sales are underway in the Nintendo eShop, with Warner Bros. Games offering up to 85% off select titles, and NIS America following suit with discounts of up to 90%. Both sales conclude on January 14, with further information available on the Nintendo website.
Nintendo’s eShop is also seeing an influx of new titles this week, including 8-Colors Star Guardians, AAA Clock Extreme Ultimate, Brain Memory Ultra Special, and many more. Notable releases such as Legend of Grimrock, Grotto, and Ultimate Racing 2D 2 will also be hitting the Switch, adding to its diverse catalogue.
Nintendo Switch Online members continue to enjoy the benefits of classic NES, Super NES, and Game Boy games, while the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership expands these offerings to include Nintendo 64 games, Game Boy Advance titles, as well as exclusive DLC content.
To enhance the purchase and enjoyment of these offerings, Members of My Nintendo can earn Gold Points on eligible digital purchases, which can be redeemed on their next digital purchase of Nintendo Switch games and DLC on the Nintendo eShop.
Nintendo also places emphasis on responsible gaming, reminding users that the Nintendo Switch features parental controls that allow adults to manage the content available to children.
