This Week’s eShop Highlights: SaGa Frontier 2 and Rift of the Necrodancer

Curious about the upcoming lineup on the Nintendo Switch eShop? Let’s dive into it! Leading the showcase is the anticipated HD remaster of a renowned RPG, none other than SaGa Frontier 2. Making its Nintendo console debut, this 1999 gem offers a fresh angle on character storytelling, allowing players to experience the same events through different eyes.

Another standout is Rift of the Necrodancer, which injects new energy into this rhythm-based series. Join Cadence on a musical journey where fighting off monsters is all about staying in rhythm with original electronic melodies.

Then there’s something delightfully whimsical: Disney Villains Café. It brings back Yzma, the memorable antagonist from The Emperor’s New Groove, who now runs a potions café. For fans of the movie, you know how fitting this role is, right? Join in as classic villains like Jafar and Maleficent make appearances, spicing up the narrative. But the burning question remains: Will Kronk be making a cameo?

As usual, the eShop is bustling with sales and fresh music from Nintendo, ready to be explored. Check out what’s new and don’t forget to let us know what games you’re excited about this week.
