Nintendo Downloads – May 8, 2025 – Update

So, last week I totally missed Super Xevious slipping into the Archives — don’t ask why. My brain’s like a sieve sometimes.

Anyway, there’s this buzz about the Switch 2 and, honestly, the top game pick from around T-minus-four weeks might just be a Tokimeki Memorial remake in Japan. But plot twist — maybe not. If High on Life pops up in the Switch 1 Direct, it kinda steals the show, right? That shooter’s got Justin Roiland’s fingerprints all over it. Yes, that Justin. The one with, let’s say, “personal complications.”

On another note, Spiritfall drops on Friday. But what’s up with the EggConsole jacking up prices? Now it’s in the PC-98 family with something called Rune Worth. Looks cool if you speak Japanese, which I definitely don’t.

Oh, and in Europe, they’re doing pre-launch eShop sales for the Switch 2. Early bird catches the worm, or something. The trivia answer? Hitman: World of Assassination. Yup, you heard that right.
