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

What’s brewing on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? A bit of everything, really. Whether you’re intrigued by adventurous felines, vibrant soundtracks, or immersive simulations, there’s something worth checking out in this week’s lineup.

First on the list is Stray, which technically dropped a few days ago. Originally released in 2022, it has already made waves on various platforms before landing on our trusty handheld. If it’s caught your attention, you likely know it’s a unique entry in the gaming scene. This third-person adventure has you stepping into the proverbial paws of a cat separated from its family. The plot twist? You navigate a futuristic world stripped of humans, yet bustling with androids and extraterrestrials. We’re diving into reviewing Stray and will share our thoughts on the upcoming podcast, so keep an ear out for that.

On another note, if simulations and coziness are your jam, the MySims: Cozy Bundle might just be your cup of tea. It offers two adventures bundled together, loaded with charming characters in a MySims realm where crafting reigns supreme.

The Nintendo Music app, up and running for several weeks now, continues to expand its repertoire. This week’s highlight is the iconic F-Zero X soundtrack. So, if you’re in the market for some adrenaline-pumping tunes for your walks or runs, you might want to add these to your playlist.

It wouldn’t be a full week without a sale, especially as we edge into late November. That means we’re cruising into major sales season, with Nintendo’s Cyber Deals offering sizeable discounts on a range of titles, including some big-name first-party games. It’s a prime opportunity to prepare for the holidays with some fantastic games. We’d love to hear which ones you decide to grab!
