What’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? While we’re counting down to the much-anticipated release of the Switch 2, which is just around seven weeks away, the eShop continues to flood us with new games. This week’s standout? The action-adventure game, Star Overdrive.
In Star Overdrive, you’ll grab your hoverboard and glide across an alien planet, engaging in puzzles and combat with enemies. Developed by a team of 12 at Caracal Games, this isn’t their first venture into the eShop, but it’s their debut feature in a Nintendo Direct. Published by Plug In Digital, who you might remember for the intriguing Mindcop last year, Star Overdrive is a fast-paced blend of action, platforming, and third-person gameplay that you won’t want to miss.
Music lovers, rejoice! The sounds of Luigi’s Mansion have joined Nintendo Music’s lineup, adding to the musical adventure. Plus, there’s a slew of discounted titles available now, featuring games like Mario + Rabbids and South Park, among others.
Curious about all the new games? Here’s the full rundown. What’s on your gaming list for the weekend?
