Star Wars and Cuisineer Featured in This Week’s eShop Highlights

Curious about what’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Let’s see what the latest buzz is as we prepare ourselves for a significant return to the Star Wars universe with the classic Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles making its re-debut.

Originally launching at the turn of the millennium in 2000, Jedi Power Battles later emerged on the Game Boy Advance in 2001. Fast forward 25 years, and this updated version invites players to select from a variety of jedis. With the thrill of local co-op play, it’s your chance to battle through waves of droids and foes inspired by Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

Switching gears a bit, Cuisineer is set to release on January 28. This intriguing roguelite blends the unlikely duo of dungeon-crawling and restaurant management, complete with culinary challenges and kitchen customization. It promises to be a captivating twist on both genres.

But that’s not all; a plethora of new titles await to keep you entertained through the weekend. Check out the entire lineup below, and we’d love to hear what you’re diving into.
