8 cozy games coming to Nintendo eShop for the week of January 10th, 2025

Nintendo eShop has several new games dropping this week and bleeding into next week. There are 34 new titles that will be available and some of these are bundles, so that’s even more games to be tempted by.

I’ll be honest, not all of these are winners. In fact, you’ll likely find that most of them aren’t to your own taste. But, you never know when you’re going to find a diamond in the rough.

Here are the 8 games that we picked out that seemed interesting. There is a bit of variance to them and they might not all be the coziest, but these are the ones that appealed to us.
