Curious about what’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? While we’re eagerly counting down—just about seven weeks—to the much-anticipated release of the Switch 2, a slew of fresh titles continue to roll in, adding a dash of excitement each week. This week’s standout? It’s the action-packed adventure of Star Overdrive that’s stealing the limelight.
Dive into Star Overdrive where you’ll find yourself hoverboarding across an alien world, engaging in mind-twisting puzzles and battling enemies that cross your path. Brought to life by a passionate team of 12 at Caracal Games, Star Overdrive isn’t the first eShop venture for these indie devs. However, it does mark their debut in a Nintendo Direct, thanks to publisher Plug In Digital, who gave us the riveting Mindcop last year. Combining fast-paced action with elements of platforming and third-person mechanics, Star Overdrive is a promising title to keep an eye on.
This week also sees some new tunes in the Nintendo Music app with the inclusion of music from Luigi’s Mansion. And don’t miss out on the generous sales across the eShop, with favorites like Mario + Rabbids and South Park seeing discounted prices.
Below, you’ll find the complete list of new additions. So, what games are making it to your playlist this weekend?
