As we roll into the holiday season, the Switch eShop is bursting with activity, from enticing sales to fresh tracks, and a lineup of new games just waiting to be explored. Let’s dive right in!
The holidays are all about spending quality time with loved ones, and they also give us a golden opportunity to tackle that ever-growing game backlog. Whether you’re still navigating through "Echoes of Wisdom" or eagerly anticipating your turn with "Mario + Luigi: Brothership," 2024 has blessed us with a treasure trove of titles that many of us are yet to finish or even start.
Additionally, the beloved tunes from "Super Mario 64" have now joined the Nintendo Music app’s growing playlist. This iconic soundtrack from 1996 introduced us to Mario’s inaugural 3D adventure and gifted us with some truly memorable music. Which track is your favorite?
Of course, the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without a sale to tempt your wallet. The current offers are plentiful, featuring something for every gamer. Whether you’re yet to dive into "Super Mario Odyssey" (it’s a must-play!) or you’re itching to groove with "Just Dance," now’s the perfect time to snag a deal.
On the horizon, a smattering of new titles promises to keep things interesting, with games ranging from Sudoku and escape rooms to basketball. What’s topping your playlist this week? We’d love to hear from you!
