This Week’s eShop Highlights: Sims, Stray Cats, Sales, and Music

Curious about what’s hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? There’s a bit of everything going on—whether you’re into exploring with furry pals, bopping to electrifying tunes, or getting lost in simulation games, this week’s selections have got you covered.

Kicking things off, we have Stray. Although it technically launched a few days ago, it’s a 2022 release that’s already made waves on other platforms before finding its home on your trusty handheld. If you’ve heard of it, you know it stands out. It’s a third-person adventure game where you embody a cat who’s lost its family. The catch? This is all set in a dystopian world, without humans but bustling with androids and aliens. We’re currently working on our Stray review, and we’ll dive deeper into it in our next podcast episode, so make sure to stay tuned for our in-depth take.

For those who are into cozy simulation experiences, the MySims: Cozy Bundle might be right up your alley. This package offers you two delightful journeys in one place, loaded with adorable characters set in a MySims world where crafting reigns supreme.

On the music front, Nintendo Music has been expanding its collection for a while now. This week, they’re spotlighting the timeless soundtrack of F-Zero X. So if you’re in the mood for adrenaline-pumping music to accompany your day, give it a listen.

But what’s a week in the gaming world without a good sale? As November draws to a close, we’re gearing up for the major holiday deals. Nintendo’s Cyber Deals Sale is here, offering substantial discounts on a vast array of games, including first-party hits. It’s a perfect opportunity to stock up on games ahead of the holiday season!
