It may be the holidays but there’s still a bunch of activities happening on the Switch eShop. This week is all about the sales, along with new music, and a handful of new games to check out, too. Let’s get to it!
The holidays mark a time to spend with family and friends. It also gives us a chance to catch up on that backlog of games we’ve been meaning to get to. Whether you’re still working your way through Echoes of Wisdom or waiting to delve into Mario + Luigi: Brothership, 2024 has brought us a plethora of great games that we may not have had the chance to play or finish yet.
On top of that, the weekly musical releases continue with Super Mario 64, which joins the collection of soundtracks in the Nintendo Music app. This classic set of tunes hails from 1996 and marks Mario’s first foray into the world of 3D. And it brought some stellar songs along with it. Let us know your fave track!
It also wouldn’t be the holidays without a sale. The current sales doing the rounds are impressive, with plenty of titles to tempt your digital wallet. Whether you’re yet to play Super Mario Odyssey (you really should) or you want to jump into the latest Just Dance, there’s bound to be something for everyone.
There’s also a handful of new titles to consider featuring sodoku, escapes rooms, and basketball. So, what’s on your playlist this week? Let us know!
