This Week’s eShop Highlights: SaGa Frontier 2 and Rift of the Necrodancer

Wondering what’s buzzing on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week? To kick things off, there’s a much-anticipated HD remaster of a classic RPG — SaGa Frontier 2 makes its Nintendo debut. Originally hitting shelves in 1999, this game lets you experience how multiple characters live through the same events in their own unique ways.

Next up, we’ve got Rift of the Necrodancer, a fresh addition to the rhythm game series that’s bound to get your toes tapping.
