Nintendo Downloads – News Update for May 8, 2025

Hey, if you’re itching to dive into the world of baseball and the guy behind “High on Life” — the one who tangled with the wild world of “Rick and Morty” — then yeah, maybe punch in “Justin Roiland minors” into your search bar. It’s a trip.

So, last week kinda flew by, right? I mean, I totally missed Super Xevious in the Archives. No clue how, but there it is.

Now, rumbling over in Japan, there’s this whole buzz about a reboot of Tokimeki Memorial. Seriously, the remake is sparking more chatter than a Switch 2 could bring to the table. Like, maybe it’s not so huge here, but over there? It’s all the rage. Then again, if a Switch 1 Direct makes an entrance, well, everything else might kinda fade into the background, ’cause everyone might be zoning in on “High on Life”. It’s from the dude who got himself into a bit of trouble — you know, the usual story, couldn’t keep things in check.

Friday’s looking up too with Spiritfall dropping. That said, there’s this price thing with EggConsole moving up to the PC-98 territory — Rune Worth’s on the line there. But seriously, if you don’t speak Japanese, it’s a bit like trying to watch a silent movie while everyone else is hearing dialogues.

Oh, almost forgot, across the pond, some folks are already snagging sales on those Switch 2 titles on eShop. Makes you wonder what the trivia answer is — turns out, it’s Hitman: World of Assassination.

Jumping the puddle to North America, here’s what’s dropping:

– High on Life at $39.99 / C$51.99. Set that timer for Tuesday.
– There’s this Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 at $29.99. No idea what that’s about, just imagining derelict boats, honestly.
– Captain Blood for $24.99 on Tuesday — sounds like a wild pirate adventure, but who knows, could just be a fancy name for a sim.
– Oh, Spiritfall again, waving its flag on Friday for $19.99.

Loads of other titles, priced all over the place. Like, there’s some with a longer backstory I guess? Cat & Rabbit Pizza Farming. Yep, that’s a thing. And this one on Friday — Laundry Simulator 2025. I mean, can you really simulate washing clothes? Maybe throw in some dirt and see who scrubs the best?

European side of things isn’t far behind, gluing eyes to High on Life for their part. Apps like Strings Theory and Chaos Galaxy 2, with prices that don’t lead to an impulse buy, but hey, whatever floats your boat. Did you want structured sentences? Forget that! Here’s the real deal — fragmented thoughts, prices out the wazoo, but here I am thinking out loud.

For our friends in Japan… Tokimeki, again! The emotional wave is real at ¥6600. And then, this eclectic mix from Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 to Captain Blood. Prices bouncing like an enthusiastic kangaroo, but there’s something for everyone, right?

Ah, right, sales! May 4th — Star Trek fans (or just discount hunters), you get a sweet 67% slash on Star Trek: Legends till May 18.

Gaming’s this wild ride, isn’t it? You start with a list intending to play soldier, and then — whoops — you’re knee-deep in pixel art kittens and pizza. Off the rails? Maybe. Was this all coherent? Debatable. But it’s a slice of what’s buzzing, jumbled thoughts and all.
