Hogwarts, Star Wars, sales, and more join this week’s eShop roundup

After what feels like a long week, the weekend is finally here! What’s happening on the Nintendo Switch eShop? Star Wars: Hunters for one, along with an update to Hogwarts Legacy, plus sales, activities, and a long list of new games to inspire us.

We mentioned Star Wars: Hunters last week, which debuted on June 4. This free-to-play title pits teams of four rogue warriors against each other in an arena fight to the death. The game takes a wide cast of characters from Jawas and bounty hunters to Sith warriors and Stormtroopers. You’ll also earn points for playing to level up your characters and sharpen your skills. It’s a fun time, and we discuss our thoughts on the upcoming episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast, so stay tuned!

Meanwhile, it’s time to return to Hogwarts to see what’s brewing in this magic-fuelled game. A new update brings with it a photo mode and other features to check out. Let us know your fave Hogwarts moment.

If you like JRPGs as much as we do, you’ll be pleased to know that pre-orders are now open for the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. The game heads our way soon – June 14, to be precise – so if you want to be prepared, best get those orders in.

Then there’s the sales. This week’s Super Happy Fun Slide, I mean, Mega Extreme Fun Sale, packs a lot of good deals into the mix. Mario, LEGO, Hogwarts, Red Dead Redemption, Fae Farm, and Advance Wars are all on sale – just to mention a few.

Check out the full list of new titles and eShop transpirings below, and be sure to let us know which games you add to your collection this week!
