What’s in store for Nintendo Switch eShop enthusiasts this week? As we eagerly count down to the arrival of the Switch 2, now just around seven weeks away, a flurry of new games continues to grace the Switch each week. This time, all eyes are on the thrilling world of Star Overdrive.
Star Overdrive takes you on a hoverboard ride across an alien landscape, offering a mix of puzzle-solving and battle action. Developed by Caracal Games, a team of twelve creative minds, it marks their return to the eShop but their first spotlight moment in a Nintendo Direct. The game is brought to us by Plug In Digital, who previously delivered the captivating Mindcop. With a blend of fast-paced action, platforming, and third-person gameplay, Star Overdrive might just be your next gaming obsession.
And for music lovers, new additions include the Luigi’s Mansion soundtrack, joining the Nintendo Music playlist. Plus, there’s a feast of discounts, with titles like Mario + Rabbids and South Park on sale, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Check out the lineup of new games below. What will you dive into this weekend?
