SaGa Frontier 2 and Rift of the Necrodancer Highlight This Week’s eShop Lineup

This week, the Nintendo Switch eShop is buzzing with excitement as it welcomes a host of new games. Leading the charge is a remastered gem from the RPG archives: SaGa Frontier 2. Marking its debut on a Nintendo console, this 1999 classic invites players to experience interconnected stories, offering fresh narrative perspectives on pivotal moments.

Another standout is the rhythmic adventure, Rift of the Necrodancer. This latest installment in the beloved franchise puts players in the shoes of Cadence, who battles monsters in sync with catchy original electronic beats.

For Disney fans, there’s a quirky new addition in the form of Disney Villains Café. It’s a delightful setup, especially with Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove running a potions café. If you’re a fan of the movie, you’ll understand why this role suits her perfectly. The game features a twisted storyline where you meet iconic villains like Jafar and Maleficent, but the big question remains: Will Kronk make an appearance?
