Star Overdrive Featured in This Week’s eShop Highlights

Curious about what’s hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of the Switch 2—just about seven weeks away now—the flood of new games continues to pour in. The standout entry this week is undoubtedly the action-adventure game, Star Overdrive.

In Star Overdrive, players are transported to an alien world, cruising on hoverboards, solving intricate puzzles, and battling enemies that stand in their way. Developed by a dedicated team of 12 at Caracal Games, this isn’t their first venture on the eShop, but it is their debut into the spotlight of a Nintendo Direct feature. The game’s publisher, Plug In Digital, impressed fans last year with the clever mind-bender Mindcop. With its high-octane action fused with platforming and third-person perspectives, Star Overdrive promises to be a must-try.

For music lovers, there’s an exciting addition to Nintendo Music: Luigi’s Mansion. Plus, there’s a lineup of enticing discounts on titles ranging from Mario + Rabbids to South Park, and many others.
