Release Date: 13th Nov 2025 (USA) / 13th Nov 2025 (UK/EU)
Goodness, it’s like Level-5 never let off the gas. After wowing us with Fantasy Life i earlier this year (an eShop Selects winner, too!), the long-awaited Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road finally launched in November after years of delays and name changes. And, guess what? It’s excellent.
Packed from goal-to-goal, Victory Road is a game that feels like you could play it forever. Heck, you don’t even have to engage with everything, because the central soccer RPG loop is so darn good that you might not want to do anything else. It’s a fabulous return for the series, and has us ever hopeful for that remake.
It’s another 8/10 in our books, meaning that Inazuma Eleven is worth the wait; the Switch 2 version is excellent, too.

Demonschool might have been late to class — it was delayed multiple times prior to its release last month — but here’s another game that was absolutely worth the wait. So worth it, in fact, that it just sneaked into the top spot to become month’s eShop Selects winner.
Twisting tactical RPG gameplay into a new form, and blending it with daily school life and demon hunting, Demonschool is almost too cool for school. It’s bloody, messy, and street smart, full of quips and humour and dashes of Italian horror-inspired imagery. We can’t get enough of that unique grid-based action, either.
Rounding out our set of 8/10s, Demonschool earns top marks from us, and we hope you consider enrolling.

How we decide our eShop Selects top three: As we reach the end of every month, the Nintendo Life staff vote on their favourite titles from a list of games selected by the editorial team. To qualify for this list, these games must have been released as a digital-only Nintendo Switch eShop title in that particular month, and must have been reviewed on Nintendo Life; we select the qualifying games based on their review scores.
Staff are then asked to vote for three games that they think deserve to sit right at the very top of that list; first choice gets three points, second choice gets two points, and third choice gets one point. These votes are then tallied to create a top-three list, with the overall winner taking that month’s top prize.
