Curious what’s unfolding on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? While we’re all eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Switch 2—now just a mere seven weeks away—the current Switch continues to offer a fresh bounty of games. The star of this week’s releases is the thrilling action-adventure game, Star Overdrive.
In Star Overdrive, prepare to embark on a wild ride across an alien world. You’ll be zipping around on a hoverboard, tackling puzzles, and battling a host of foes. Developed by Caracal Games, a passionate team of 12, Star Overdrive holds the honor of being their first title featured in a Nintendo Direct, despite not being their debut on the eShop. It’s brought to us by Plug In Digital, who dazzled us last year with Mindcop. Combining fast-paced action with platforming and third-person thrills, Star Overdrive is definitely one to keep on your radar.
Adding to the excitement, new music is hitting the Nintendo Music app with the Luigi’s Mansion soundtrack making its spooky debut. On top of that, there’s a slew of games on sale, ranging from Mario + Rabbids to South Park, plus many more.
Take a moment to browse the complete list of this week’s new titles. What are you planning to dive into over the weekend?
