Star Overdrive Featured in This Week’s eShop Highlights

Curious about what’s fresh on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? While we eagerly count down the days to the release of the Switch 2—just seven weeks to go!—a host of exciting new games continues to roll out every week. The standout title this week is none other than the action-adventure game, Star Overdrive.

In this captivating game, you’ll glide across an alien landscape on a hoverboard, engaging in puzzle-solving and combat along the way. Created by the indie studio Caracal Games, which comprises just 12 talented folks, Star Overdrive marks their first foray into being featured in a Nintendo Direct. Published by Plug In Digital, known for the intriguing Mindcop, this game blends fast-paced action, platforming, and third-person perspectives. It’s definitely worth keeping an eye on.

This week also features the addition of Luigi’s Mansion to the Nintendo Music collection. To top it all off, a wide array of titles are currently on sale, ranging from Mario + Rabbids to South Park, guaranteeing something for every gamer.
