Nintendo Releases – May 8, 2025 – Updates

Alright, so what did we totally gloss over last week? Oh right, Super Xevious in the Archives — no clue how that slipped past us. Hmm. Not like there’s a lot riding on the Archives, right? Anyway, moving on.

You know, there’s this intense debate raging, like, is the biggest event for gamers just around the corner with the original Tokimeki Memorial getting a glow-up in Japan? Or is it something else entirely? Something with more pizzazz? Maybe it’s the Switch 1 Direct? Apparently, High on Life is the headliner this week. Fun fact: that game’s got the same dude who was the scene-stealer behind Rick and Morty… before, well, *that* drama unfolded. People really can’t always keep it together, huh?

Oh, and here’s a nugget: Spiritfall lands on Friday. But hey, did anyone else catch the price hike for the EggConsole? It’s moving into the PC-98 realm with Rune Worth. So, if you’re not fluent in Japanese, don’t be too surprised if it feels like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. But hey, in Europe, it’s pre-launch sale city for Switch 2 titles on the eShop. Imagine landing Hitman: World of Assassination before the others catch on. Trivia-wise, it sounds cool.
