Star Overdrive Highlights This Week’s eShop Selection

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?
