Alright, let’s dive into this mess of an update. So, um, yeah, Nintendo eShop threw some stuff at us in North America again. I mean, like, new games for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the trusty ol’ Nintendo Switch. Plus, there’s a bunch of sales — yay for wallets crying less? Sure, why not.
Oh, those sales though. Have you seen them? They’re all over on the Nintendo of America site. But, like, do we ever really need more reasons to spend cash on games? No idea why I noticed this, but jumping into sales is kinda therapeutic. Or maybe that’s just me avoiding other responsibilities. Anyway—wait, where was I? Right, the games!
So, what shiny new things do we have for Nintendo Switch 2? It’s just two, I think… Drag X Drive and EA Sports Madden NFL 26. Feels like fewer options than my choice of socks this morning, but okay, moving on.
Now, here comes the avalanche of Nintendo Switch madness set for this week:
– 1989 After the War – dropping Friday, August 15th
– Bendy: Lone Wolf – same deal, Friday the 15th
– Bubble Wizard IV Saga – which sounds like a fever dream, TBH
– Bunkers 1944 FPS – available Friday, same as the others
– I’m honestly curious about Camp Life: Wilderness Survival 2025 (also Friday, August 15th)
– Cats in Cozy Rooms – because, of course, more cats – Friday, what a day
– CORE.SYS – but not until Wednesday, August 20th
– Crossout Legends – sounds epic, doesn’t it?
– Curse Rounds, Cyber AI Defense, and Cyber Car Seller Simulator – okay, had to do a double-take there
Demons Are Coming! (Friday, are you surprised?), Discounty on Wednesday, August 20th, and DUCK: Dangerous Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper – yes, that’s real!
There’s something oddly nostalgic about EGGCONSOLE Brandish Renewal PC-9801. Escape the Backrooms BODYCAM? Creepy, yet intriguing.
GOST of Time – yep, Friday 15th again – and here comes Hop ’n’ Marty (on Friday, surprise surprise). Hyper Dots, Iwakura Aria, Kimono Cats …
Learn to Play – Jungle Frog — the name itself makes me chuckle — available Friday.
Mad Skills BMX 2, Mind Over Magnet, NanaKnight – all coming in hot this Friday. Off and Re:Play also say ‘hi’ on this generally chaotic Friday.
Rogue Raccoon, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution on Tuesday, August 19th – break from the usual Friday fiesta.
Oh, and we’ve got Super Darling Panic／スパダリ★パニック, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown, TetroMosaic, RacY: AutomatA (because why not, right?), and Toaplan Arcade Collections Vols. 1 and 2.
Then Tokyo Racer X slides in on Friday. Tralalero Tralala Simulator (the name, I swear), Yarn Guardians, and Zumba – Treasure of the Marble Sea just round it all up into one big gamers’ buffet.
Is your head spinning? Mine is, but that’s probably just the coffee kicking in. Happy gaming!
