Curious about what’s buzzing on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Let’s dive right in. The spotlight’s on the newly polished HD version of a classic RPG gem, SaGa Frontier 2. Making its grand debut on a Nintendo platform, this 1999 wonder allows players to experience pivotal moments through differing character viewpoints, enriching the narrative tapestry.

Another standout this week is the fresh instalment in the rhythm game series, Rift of the NecroDancer. Join Cadence as she takes on monstrous foes, all while keeping in step with the pulse of energetic electronic beats, creating a symphonic blend of combat and sound.

Adding to the excitement, meet the latest whimsical title, Disney Villains Café. Fans of "The Emperor’s New Groove" will be thrilled to see Yzma, now presiding over a potions café. Fans who know her from the movie will agree she’s in her element. Characters like Jafar and Maleficent add to the delightful mix, brewing narratives that are as intriguing as they are entertaining.
