Star Overdrive Headlines This Week’s eShop Highlights

Curious about what’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? As we eagerly anticipate the launch of the Switch 2, which is just around the corner—about seven weeks away—we’re seeing a steady stream of fresh games making their way to the platform. Among this week’s exciting releases is the action-adventure game, Star Overdrive.

In Star Overdrive, players are invited to explore an alien world while riding a hoverboard. Along the journey, you’ll be solving intricate puzzles and battling various foes. This game is crafted by an indie team known as Caracal Games, made up of 12 talented developers. Although they’re not newcomers to the eShop, Star Overdrive is their debut feature in a Nintendo Direct presentation. Published by Plug In Digital, the company behind last year’s hit Mindcop, Star Overdrive combines fast-paced action with platforming and third-person perspectives. It’s definitely one to keep an eye on.

Fans of Nintendo soundtracks are also in for a treat as the Luigi’s Mansion tunes join the Nintendo Music lineup. There’s a slew of discounts available as well, covering popular titles ranging from Mario + Rabbids to South Park, and plenty more in between.

Here’s the list of new games ready for you to dive into. So, what will be your gaming pick for the weekend?
