Christmas is over, Boxing Day is mostly over, and now we’re in that weird spot between all that and the new year… well, at least we have the eShop to keep us busy!
A solid week, but still modest compared to the last few weeks of 20+ releases, we have SteamWorld Heist and plenty more trickling out through the week.
We also have a list of all the sales ending on the 28th this week, so be sure to grab what you want before then! And as usual, we’ll try to keep you updated with any last minute releases and sales that get added (we’ve had some stuff fall through the cracks, with the new format and a huge few weeks on eShop, so bear with us while we work out the kinks!)
