Star Wars and Cuisineer join this week’s eShop roundup
What’s happening on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Looks like it’s time to head back to a galaxy far, far away with the launch of the classic Star Wars outing, Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles.
Jedi Power Battles was originally released on consoles way back in the year of the Millennium Bug – also known as the year 2000 – making its way to the Game Boy Advance in 2001. Cut to a quarter of a decade later, and this remastered version brings a host of jedis to choose from. With local co-op play, it’s time to smash your way through hordes of droids and enemies based on Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.
Meanwhile, Cuisineer is out on January28. This roguelite meshes together the seemingly unlikely combination of dungeon-crawling with restaurant management. With food-based challenges and a customizable kitchen, this one is sure to be an interesting take on both genres.
There’s also a long list of titles to keep you occupied over the weekend, so check out the full list below and let us know what you’re playing.
