Star Overdrive Featured in This Week’s eShop Highlights

Curious about what’s new in the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? As we eagerly await the arrival of Switch 2 in just over a month, the eShop keeps buzzing with fresh content. This week’s star attraction is the dynamic action-adventure game, Star Overdrive.

In Star Overdrive, you’ll embark on an exciting journey across an alien world, gliding on a hoverboard as you tackle puzzles and take on foes. Developed by Caracal Games, a small team of a dozen creatives, this is their first title to be highlighted in a Nintendo Direct. Published by Plug In Digital, known for the intriguing Mindcop from last year, this game promises a blend of fast-paced action, platforming, and third-person mechanics, making it a potential standout.

Music enthusiasts can also look forward to Luigi’s Mansion joining the Nintendo Music collection. Plus, there’s a slew of discounted titles this week, featuring games like Mario + Rabbids and South Park, among many others.

Here’s the complete list of new titles hitting the eShop. So, which game will be your pick for the weekend?
