What’s new on the Nintendo Switch eShop? This week’s highlight is The Patrick Star Game, which features SpongeBob’s best friend in his first solo outing. This physics-based open world of Patrick’s is full of fun and mayhem. The game features quests from other Bikini Bottom residents – including SpongeBob, of course – as well as treasure hunts and more.
Meanwhile, for something completely different, SWORD ART ONLINE is back with Fractured Daydream. This one comes with 20-player raids, character customizations, and online co-op to provide plenty for fans to do.
In other news, it’s Halloween month, and Nintendo is celebrating in style with plenty of spooky games and merch to check out. We’ll be talking about scary games on an upcoming episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast, so keep an eye for that, too.
There’s a looong list of other games to consider, so check out the full list of new titles below. What will you be playing this week?
