Curious about what’s hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? As we eagerly anticipate the launch of the Switch 2 in just a couple of months, a fresh wave of games continues to arrive, fueling our gaming adventures. This week’s standout is Star Overdrive, an action-adventure game that promises a thrilling ride.
In Star Overdrive, players will navigate an alien world on a hoverboard, tackling puzzles and facing off against formidable foes. Developed by the indie team Caracal Games, consisting of just 12 talented individuals, this release marks their first appearance in a Nintendo Direct. Plug In Digital, known for last year’s Mindcop, publishes the game, ensuring it’s well-positioned for success. Boasting fast-paced gameplay with elements of platforming and a third-person perspective, Star Overdrive is certainly one to keep an eye on.
For music fans, Luigi’s Mansion joins the Nintendo Music app’s offerings, giving you another reason to feel nostalgic. And if deals are your thing, there’s plenty to browse, including titles like Mario + Rabbids and South Park, coming with tempting discounts.
