RiffTrax: The Game and Citizen Sleeper headline this week’s slender lineup of new Nintendo Switch releases.

Given last week saw the release of more than 40 Nintendo Switch games, there’s an oddly thin list of games coming to the eShop in the week ahead.

The highlight, so far, is RiffTrax: The Game. It’s a new comedy party game from the makers of What the Dub?!. It stars Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett from Mystery Science Theater 3000 and features 250 B movie clips.

Rollergator, Attack Of The Supermonsters, and Plan 9 From Outer Space are among the cinematic “classics” you can riff along with.

This week’s other recommendation is Citizen Sleeper, a visually spectacular sci-fi narrative game inspired by classic tabletop RPGs.

Other new Nintendo Switch releases include Wildcat Gun Machine and Football Drama.
