Sims, stray cats, sales, and music join this week’s eShop roundup

What’s happening on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? A little of this, a little of that. Whether you’re into stray cats, soaring soundtracks, or simulations, there’s bound to be something for everyone in this week’s roundup.

First up is Stray, which technically came out a few days ago. It’s a 2022 game that’s done the rounds on a few other systems before making it’s way to the humble handheld. And, if you’ve heard of it, you’ll know it’s something pretty fresh. This third-person adventure sees you take on the role of a cat who’s lost his (or her) family. The twist? You live in a dystopian future devoid of humans but full of androids and aliens. We’re working on our review of Stray, and we’ll be chatting about it on our next podcast episode, so stay tuned for our full thoughts.

Meanwhile, if you like sims and being cozy, well, then, the MySims: Cozy Bundle could be for you. This outing features two adventures in one – definitely more of a bundle than a collection – bringing many overly cute characters in a MySims kingdom where crafting rules.

The Nintendo Music has been available for a few weeks now, and the collection continues to grow. This week’s feature album is none other than classic racer F-Zero X. So, if you’re ready for some fast-paced tunes to accompany you on your walk (or run), check it out.

Of course, you can’t go a single week without a sale, but it also happens to be late November. That means we’re heading into serious sales territory, and Nintendo’s Cyber Deals Sale has kicked off, bringing huge discounts on a variety of titles – even first-party outings. Now’s the time to get ready for  the holidays by stocking up on some worthy games. Be sure to let us know which ones you pick up!

There’s also a long list of new titles to tempt you, so let’s get to it. Check out the full list of new releases below and let us know what you’re playing this weekend.
