What’s going on in the weird and wonderful world of Nintendo Switch eShop this week? With Switch 2 inching closer—like, seriously, it’s creeping up; isn’t it? Only seven weeks away!—we’ve got a flood of new games making their way to the Switch. And boy, is there anything more exciting than that? Probably not. The big kahuna this week? Star Overdrive. Sounds cool, right?
Alright, imagine this: gliding on a hoverboard across an alien landscape, solving brain-busting puzzles, and taking on baddies. Wait, does anyone else feel like trying that in real life? Well, maybe not the alien part. Anyway, this brainchild comes from a quirky team called Caracal Games. Just 12 of them, but we won’t hold that against them. And it’s their first time showing up at a Nintendo Direct. Round of applause! Published by folks over at Plug In Digital, remember Mindcop? Yeah, those guys. Star Overdrive is mixing action, platforming, and third-person vibes. It’s like if Tony Hawk had a love child with Star Wars. Sort of.
Oh, you music lovers won’t be left out either! Luigi’s Mansion made it to Nintendo Music—seriously spooky beats for your earbuds. Plus, we’ve got rows and rows of titles on sale. Mario + Rabbids, South Park—take your pick. It’s like visiting a candy store where everything’s half-off. Crazy, huh?
Alright, here’s what you gotta look forward to:
Nintendo eShop
Star Overdrive – Alright, so get this: control a hypersonic Hoverboard (yes, sounds as cool as it is) zipping around some alien world in this action-adventure universe. Solve, fight, explore—challenges and growing your Keytar power. Didn’t I mention Keytar? Well, surprise, surprise! Anyway, snag this one today!
Nintendo Music
A Haunting Melody – Relive those chilling Luigi’s Mansion moments with the soundtrack—it’s on Nintendo Music now! Crank it up, and boom, instant ghost-busting mode. But you gotta be a Nintendo Switch Online member for this one. And no spoilers because… ghosts hate spoilers.
Activities
Creator’s Voice – Hades II – There’s this thing called “Creator’s Voice,” and if you haven’t watched it, you should. I mean, they’re talking about the art of bringing games to the Switch 2. Just a heads-up, weekly doses Tuesdays at the crack of dawn. Latest? Hades II. Got Amir Rao and Greg Kasavin yapping about their game like it’s their baby—oh wait, it kinda is.
Enter the My Nintendo Gear Up With Nintendo Switch Online Sweepstakes – Ever wanted gaming goodies? Well, dust off your wishing hats. You could walk away with awesome stuff inspired by classic games. Make sure to enter by July 31 because, duh, deadlines are a thing.
Unlock Fun on the Go with My Nintendo Rewards – Show off your switch love with a swanky Wristlet Keychain. Trade in 600 Platinum Points—that’s the price of cool memorabilia these days. It’s exclusive, so better get moving.
