Sunderfolk Featured in This Week’s eShop Roundup

Man, where do I even begin with this week’s Nintendo eShop situation? Seriously, there’s this game called Sunderfolk that’s all about getting your crew together—I’m talking four people, using their phones as controllers, which is bonkers and yet somehow makes total sense. It’s like a role-playing game on steroids with classes we know (but don’t) like Bard and Berserker. Tried playing as a Rogue? I forget, but it sounds intense. Whatever, it’s a trip. You’re roaming this land and knocking out quests—I mean, if you’re into that.

Oh, and don’t sleep on this eShop sale that’s about to vanish. Titles like Tunic and Vampire Survivors are on there, which are a steal, if you ask me—but don’t ask me, because I have no self-control when sales pop up. Picked up anything good? Nah, just me drooling over the deals I can’t miss.

Now, here’s a curveball: Fire Emblem Engage’s soundtrack hit Nintendo’s streaming app. Don’t ask why this makes me so happy, but it’s like candy for my ears. Pure Nintendo’s own Fire Emblem fan, Kirk, might freak out over this. Well, that’s a story for the next podcast episode. Stay tuned—I mean, if you care about Fire Emblem like Kirk does.

Oh wow, there are even more new games out this week. But seriously, who has time for all this? Maybe I do… or maybe not.

On to the highlights: Sunderfolk. Sounds like you need to drag your pals into this couch co-op thing where your phone’s the controller, and your Switch guides you through some wild tactical RPG craziness. Six classes to pick from, like Arcanist—I don’t even know what that means. But you get to improve this village of Arden and meet other Sunderfolk, which, let’s be honest, sounds like wholesome fun.

And hey, if you’ve got a Switch Online membership, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is right there for you. It’s all strategy with royal heirs on quests, weapons with their own quirks—I mean, don’t get me started on how I lost one battle because I picked the wrong sword. If a soldier’s down, they’re, like, gone. Forever. Brutal.

Music-wise, dive into this Fire Emblem Engage soundtrack—trust me, it’s epic. Dulcet tones and battle beats that make your heart race. If music could punch you in the gut, this would be it. Anyway, it’s for Nintendo’s soundtrack app, so… yeah.

Activities! F-ZERO 99 got an update, and honestly, if racing isn’t your thing, just check it out for the Mirror tracks and wicked new events like the Mini World Tour. It’s a mini what now? Never mind, just know it starts May 5, and if it were me, I’d be glued to the screen.

And hey, Hogwarts Legacy is getting the Creator’s Voice treatment—those behind-the-scenes peeks are like catnip, aren’t they? Get a glimpse of the magic and techiness of bringing Hogwarts to life on the Switch 2 system. There’s a video too. But who’s got time to click? Oh wait, I do.

Last chance sales, people. Discounts up to 50% on Nintendo Switch games, but only until April 27. Just promise you won’t buy the last copy of whatever game I’m eyeing, okay? Cool.

And… breathe. That’s a wrap on this chaotic roundup. Maybe check out one or two things if you’re not buried under a mountain of games already. Cheers to that!
