Nintendo Releases and Updates – May 8, 2025 News

Last week? Oh, guess what? We skipped over Super Xevious in the Archives. Typical.

So, here I am pondering—what’s the blockbuster for T-4 weeks to Switch 2? My mind says Japan’s Tokimeki Memorial remake. But oh wait, it’s facing some direct competition on Switch 1 with High on Life making a splash, slapped with that indecorous past of its creative lead. You remember? That guy who helmed Rick and Morty then, boom, scandal. Yeah, him.

Friday’s catching my eye with Spiritfall, mostly because it’s the only other thing that seems halfway intriguing. Meanwhile, the EggConsole? Yeah, it hops onto the PC-98 with Rune Worth. If you don’t speak Japanese? Well, good luck with that one. Over in Europe, they’re tossing out Switch 2 game pre-launch sales on the eShop. Weird, right? By the way, the answer to the pressing trivia question? Hitman: World of Assassination. I know, shocker.
