SaGa Frontier 2 and Rift of the Necrodancer Highlight This Week’s eShop Lineup

This week, the Nintendo Switch eShop has some exciting additions that are sure to grab your attention. Leading the charge is a beautifully polished HD remaster of an RPG gem from 1999, SaGa Frontier 2. Making its debut on a Nintendo platform, this classic offers a fresh take on storytelling through its unique character perspectives, allowing you to experience the same events from different angles.

Another standout release is Rift of the NecroDancer, bringing a lively rhythm-based adventure to your console. In this thrilling game, Cadence must rhythmically battle her way through foes, perfectly timing her moves to a captivating electronic soundtrack.

Get ready for a fun twist with Disney Villains Café, where the notorious Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove fronts a magical potions café. Fans of the movie will find her role fitting and entertaining. This quirky game invites you to engage with well-known villains like Jafar and Maleficent through branching narratives. The big question is whether Yzma’s sidekick, Kronk, will make an appearance.

And of course, there are the usual sales and fresh Nintendo Music to dive into. Check out the complete lineup of new games below and share what’s caught your fancy this week.
