What’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Kicking things off, we have an exciting HD remaster of a beloved RPG, SaGa Frontier 2, making its debut on a Nintendo platform. This 1999 classic offers a fresh take on how different characters perceive the very same events in their world.
Another game stealing the spotlight is Rift of the Necrodancer, a fresh entry in the rhythm-based franchise. This time, Cadence returns in a musical journey where she battles monsters by keeping in rhythm with electronic beats.
This week, we’re also treated to something delightfully quirky—Disney Villains Café. Fans will be thrilled to see Yzma, the iconic villain from The Emperor’s New Groove, running a potions café. If you’re familiar with this Disney classic, you’ll know this is the perfect role for her. Joining her are other infamous characters like Jafar and Maleficent, contributing to a dynamic narrative. One burning question remains: Will Kronk make an appearance?
As always, the eShop has its share of sales and new music releases for your enjoyment. So dive in and check out the full list of new arrivals below, and do let us know what you’re playing this week.
