This Week’s eShop Highlights: SaGa Frontier 2 and Rift of the Necrodancer Join the Lineup

Looking to see what’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? You’re in for a treat with some exciting releases. First, we’ve got the HD remaster of a 1999 RPG gem: SaGa Frontier 2. Finally making its debut on a Nintendo console, this game offers a unique way of storytelling by allowing different characters to experience the same events from varying perspectives.

Another gem hitting the eShop is Rift of the Necrodancer, a fresh installment in the beloved rhythm-based series. In this adventure, you’ll join Cadence as she battles monsters, all while grooving to the beats of original electronic tunes.

Additionally, there’s a quirky new title that’s catching eyes this week: Disney Villains Café. If you loved Yzma from "The Emperor’s New Groove," you’ll enjoy seeing her run a potions café. It features a host of iconic villains like Jafar and Maleficent. But one question remains: Will Kronk make an appearance?
