It’s so easy to hate on the Nintendo eShop. I’m no big fan of it. From horrendous input delay to its woefully uncurated special offers section, it’s a storefront that’s in dire need of an overhaul. It unfortunately means that you often have to do some real digging to unearth its hidden gems. But hidden gems there certainly are, many from the hallowed halls of arcade’s past.
Enter publishers like SNK and Capcom, both of which have effectively been archiving their back catalogs on the Nintendo Switch eShop, and it just so happens that many of these classics are fighting games. It’s never been easier to pick up legendary fighters like Garou: Mark of the Wolves, The Last Blade, or indeed the Capcom Fighting Collection for the price of your lunch.
