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

Wondering what this week has in store over on the Nintendo Switch eShop? Well, there’s a bit of everything, really. Whether you’re into feline frolics, exhilarating soundtracks, or engaging simulations, this week’s line-up is sure to have something that ticks all your boxes.

Kicking things off, we have Stray, which made its entrance a few days back. Originally launched in 2022, this game has already turned heads on other platforms and has now landed on our favorite handheld. If you haven’t caught wind of it yet, here’s the scoop: It’s an adventurous third-person game where you step into the paws of a cat who’s separated from its family. The kicker? The world is a dystopian one, sans humans, teeming with androids and extraterrestrial life. We’re hard at work on our full review of Stray and will be sharing our thoughts in the upcoming podcast episode, so do keep an ear out for that.

If simulation games wrapped in a warm, cozy vibe are more your scene, then you’ll definitely want to check out the MySims: Cozy Bundle. This package offers two delightful storylines bundled together, featuring a plethora of charming characters in a MySims kingdom where crafting reigns supreme.

On the audio front, Nintendo Music continues to expand, and this week’s highlight is an absolute classic: the iconic soundtrack from F-Zero X. So, if you’re looking for some adrenaline-pumping music to accompany your day, you might want to dive in.

And what would a week in November be without some sales action? Yep, we’re diving into major sales territory with Nintendo’s Cyber Deals Sale in full swing. This sale is bringing hefty discounts across a range of games, including some big-name first-party titles. It’s a great time to stockpile games for the holidays.
