Nintendo Life has published its July 2026 eShop Selects, a monthly feature ranking the best digitally-exclusive Switch games its team reviewed during the month, restricted to titles scoring 7/10 or higher with no physical release. Five games qualified this time, with the site's writers and contributors voting to award medals to the top three, while games such as Moss: The Forgotten Relic and Turnip Mountain received honourable mentions for narrowly missing out.

Train-grinding action game Denshattack! took first place by a wide margin, praised as an effective homage to Sega's Dreamcast era. Detective Grimoire sequel The Mermaid Mask claimed silver for its blend of deduction and point-and-click gameplay, while city-builder Go-Go Town! took bronze for its mix of cosy and frantic mechanics reminiscent of Animal Crossing and SimCity. The eShop-only Jurassic World Evolution 2 missed the deadline for consideration and will be assessed in a future round.
