Star Wars and Cuisineer Highlight This Week’s eShop Roundup

Ever wonder what’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? Well, get ready to travel back to a galaxy far, far away with the launch of the iconic Star Wars adventure, Episode I: Jedi Power Battles.

Originally hitting consoles around the turn of the millennium—yep, that’s right, the year 2000—Jedi Power Battles made a follow-up appearance on the Game Boy Advance in 2001. Fast forward about 25 years, and this updated version brings a roster of Jedi heroes for you to pick from. You can team up locally to battle your way through waves of droids and enemies inspired by Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

But that’s not all; on January 28, Cuisineer joins the lineup. This roguelite introduces a quirky blend of dungeon-crawling and restaurant management. It’s a unique mix of food-themed challenges and customizable culinary spaces that are sure to spice things up in both gaming styles.
