Curious about what’s fresh on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? While we eagerly anticipate the arrival of the Switch 2, just around seven weeks away, the current eShop continues to boom with an array of new games. This week, the spotlight shines brightly on the action-packed adventure that is Star Overdrive.
In Star Overdrive, players will embark on a thrilling journey across an alien world, surfing on a hoverboard, solving intriguing puzzles, and engaging in combat against alien foes. Developed by a talented team of 12 at Caracal Games, this isn’t their first appearance on the eShop, but Star Overdrive marks their debut in the esteemed Nintendo Direct. Published by Plug In Digital, known for last year’s captivating Mindcop, this game blends rapid-fire action with platforming and third-person perspectives, making it a title worth keeping an eye on.
On the music front, Luigi’s Mansion has joined the Nintendo Music lineup, adding a spooky touch. There’s also a tempting array of games on sale, from Mario + Rabbids to South Park and everything in between.
Here’s the rundown of all the new titles dropping this week. Which one will capture your fancy for the weekend?
