While the holiday season is in full swing, the action on the Switch eShop is showing no signs of slowing down. This week, it’s all about snagging those sweet deals, diving into fresh music releases, and exploring a selection of newly launched games. So, let’s dive right in!
The holiday cheer brings not just gatherings with family and friends, but also precious free time to tackle all those games we’ve been putting off playing. Whether you’re making progress in Echoes of Wisdom or eagerly awaiting the chance to explore Mario + Luigi: Brothership, the gaming lineup for 2024 has been nothing short of impressive, and there’s a good chance you’ve missed out on some exciting titles.
In addition to gaming, our weekly dose of new music releases isn’t missing a beat.
