Star Wars and Cuisineer Featured in This Week’s eShop Highlights

What’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Well, it’s time to journey back to that enchanting galaxy as Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles makes its grand appearance.

Originally debuting on consoles in the year 2000, amidst the Y2K buzz, Jedi Power Battles captivated fans and even found its way to the Game Boy Advance a year later. Now, nearly 25 years later, this remastered version invites players to step into the shoes of various Jedi. With local co-op play, slice through waves of droids and villains inspired by Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

In other news, make a note for January 28 when Cuisineer hits the shelves. This roguelite offers a unique blend of dungeon exploration with the thrills of managing a restaurant. With its food-themed challenges and a kitchen you can personalize, it promises to be a delightful twist on both gaming genres.

But that’s not all! There’s a plethora of new titles to dive into over the weekend. So, check out the complete list below and let us know what you’re diving into.
