If you’re a fan of strategic battles woven into historical storytelling, this game is a must-try. It’s all about navigating the tumultuous era of the Three Kingdoms with smart strategies and tactful negotiations.

Taking a European turn, we have Uncharted Waters: New Horizons. Released in 1993, this captivating title plunges players into the Age of Discovery. With sailing and trading at its core, it provides a thrilling mix of exploration and adventure.

On the musical front, Nintendo’s Music app gets a quirky update. This week, they’ve dropped 23 tracks from the beloved Kirby and the Forgotten Land soundtrack. But it’s just a teaser—where are the rest of the tunes? Keep your ears open; more might sail onto the app soon.

Now, for those of you eager for something new, the eShop has even more to offer this week. Check out titles like Which Way Up: Galaxy Games.
