September reoccured, which suggests it’s time to recall over the bounty it brought and location 3 of the Switch (2) eShop video games we’ve examined last month on a podium. (You’ll need to excuse the tardiness, we’re a number of days late this month.)

We’ve got 6 video games that scored a minimum of 7/10 in time for our month-to-month face-off. As a suggestion, these are Switch eShop video games that do not have physical releases(consisting of Game-Key Cards) at the time of composing.

We asked our authors and factors to choose their leading 3 eShop video games of September 2026 and tallied the votes. Let’s take an appearance at the video games Team NL believed the many of …

Honourable Mentions

Before we get to Top 3, let’s discuss a handful of best honourable efforts:

  • RuneScape: Dragonwilds(NS2)|Evaluation: 7/10
  • Star Racer(NS1)| Evaluation: 7/10
  • Woodo(NS1 & 2 )| Evaluation: 8/10

Now, it’s podium time.

3rd Place-Mewgenics(Switch 2)

Scott loved Edmund McMillen’s(Binding of Isaac) most current video game a lot that he granted it the 2nd Nintendo Life 10/10 ever for a brand-new release on Switch 2 (the very first being Silksong ).

“Mewgenics is an extremely special kind of game that only comes around once in a blue moon,” he stated in his evaluation, “even if it is filled to the brim with cat turds.”

That makes it sound unsavoury … which it is. This cat-based tactical legendary is addicting as they come, however, and well worth a dig through the cat litter.

Joint 2nd Place – Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

In a very first for eShop Selects, here we have a video game for which we have not released our evaluation rather yet (it’s in the pipeline – watch out!), however it’s a port we understand strikes our 7/10 requirements and enough of the group have actually played it to make the podium.

We were questioning how the vaunted Nemesis system would hold up in 2026, and fortunately it’s still greatWhere may this hang with all the other LotR video games on Switch and Nintendo systems, we question …

Joint 2nd Place – Valheim

Valheim might not look like much on Switch 2, however she’s got it where it counts (kid). Enough to get joint silver in our regular monthly awards, in any case.

“An epic survival-crafting game with solid fantasy worldbuilding, it’s a fascinating hybrid,” stated Ken in his evaluation. “Performance issues and uneven crossplay blight the release experience, so let’s hope Iron Gate keeps an eye on this version with future updates.”

Let’s hope. Seems like they might have taken the leading area if the port had actually been an indisputable winner. Very first location this month belongs to …

First Place – The Witcher III: WIld Hunt – Remastered

Existed ever any doubt? It seems like just some kind of physical release might have knocked Geralt out of the running for this specific eShop award.

This video game “remains one of the best RPGs out there,” stated George. “Sure, the combat still isn’t the best […] and there are some performance problems lingering. But the fact that it’s easy to overlook these is a testament to how amazing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is.”

Most importantly, anyone who owns the Switch 1 currently owns this variation if they’ve got a Switch 2. You can’t state fairer than that.
