Ever wonder what’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Well, get ready to travel back to a galaxy far, far away with the launch of the iconic Star Wars adventure, Episode I: Jedi Power Battles.
Originally hitting consoles around the turn of the millennium—yep, that’s right, the year 2000—Jedi Power Battles made a follow-up appearance on the Game Boy Advance in 2001. Fast forward about 25 years, and this updated version brings a roster of Jedi heroes for you to pick from. You can team up locally to battle your way through waves of droids and enemies inspired by Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
But that’s not all; on January 28, Cuisineer joins the lineup. This roguelite introduces a quirky blend of dungeon-crawling and restaurant management. It’s a unique mix of food-themed challenges and customizable culinary spaces that are sure to spice things up in both gaming styles.
There’s plenty more to keep you entertained through the weekend, so dive into the full list below. Don’t forget to share what you’ll be playing!
