Nintendo Life has published its January 2026 eShop Selects, highlighting standout releases on both the original Switch and the newer Switch 2. While the Switch 2 saw a quieter start to the year, the list uncovers several smaller titles worth a look ahead of the busier spring period.

  • The feature covers picks across both Switch hardware generations, making it easy to find games that run well on either system.
  • Several indie and niche releases are singled out, offering fresh alternatives to big-name franchises for players hunting something different.
  • The roundup emphasizes variety, from quick-play experiences to deeper, more involved titles — useful for different play styles and time commitments.
  • Nintendo Life’s selections act as buying guidance for anyone wanting to sample eShop releases without digging through hundreds of listings.

Whether you’re on Switch or have upgraded to Switch 2, this monthly roundup is a quick way to spot hidden gems to enjoy before the likely flood of spring announcements and releases.
