SaGa Frontier 2 and Rift of the Necrodancer Highlight This Week’s eShop Roundup

Curious about what’s buzzing on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Well, let’s dive in! First off, we’ve got the HD remaster of a classic RPG, SaGa Frontier 2, making its inaugural appearance on a Nintendo console. Originally launched back in 1999, this game offers a fresh take on how characters encounter shared experiences, and it’s truly fascinating.

If rhythm-based action is more your jam, then "Rift of the Necrodancer" should be right up your alley. This new addition to the franchise has Cadence battling monsters by nailing those beats to some electrifying tunes. It’s a rhythm adventure that promises to keep you on your toes as you groove through its challenges.

Oh, and let’s not forget the quirky "Disney Villains Café." Featuring characters like Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove hosting a potions café, this game serves up humor and nostalgia in equal measure. With appearances from notorious villains like Jafar and Maleficent, it’s a question of whether Kronk will show up to steal the show!
