All 45 New Games Arriving In The Nintendo Switch eShop This Week
The Nintendo Switch eShop is getting 45 new games this week, including the highly anticipated Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Game Freak’s next mainline Pokemon game is set to release on November 18.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is an open world game set in Paldea, a region loosely inspired by Spain. The three different starter Pokemon are the Grass cat Sprigatito, Fire crocodile Fuecoco, and the water duck Quaxly.
Scarlet and Violet also has three different quest lines: Victory Road, The Path of Legends, and Starfell Streets. Victory Road is the typical route of conquering gyms, Path of Legends appears to be more research and mystery based, and Starfell Streets offers a new way for players to challenge antagonists.

Nintendo is cracking down on risque content on the eShop
If you have a penchant for uncovered, orb-shaped body parts, Nintendo isn’t going to be in your good books.
Nintendo obviously has a pretty family-friendly image for the most part, so you’re unlikely to find scenes of a sexual nature in a Mario game. However, with the Nintendo Switch, some more risque games have made it onto the platform. According to one indie developer though, outright “uncensored nudes,” won’t be allowed on the eShop.
Publisher Gamuzumi recently confirmed that one of the games it’s publishing, Hot Tentacles Shoot, would not be coming to Switch for the time being (thanks, Nintendo Everything). According to Gamuzumi, the reason for the game not being allowed on the eShop is that “obscene content could damage the brand and infringe its policies.”
