Nintendo Releases – May 8, 2025 – Update

If you’re curious about the baseball career of High on Life’s creative lead, just search "Justin Roiland minors"—trust me, it’s a thing.

Anyway, stuff we probably should’ve talked about last week includes… Super Xevious hitting the Archives. Not totally sure how I missed that—oh well. Now, if you’re betting on the biggest game in Japan as we tick tock closer to Switch 2, you’re probably thinking Tokimeki Memorial remake. Right? But wait, a wildcard appears—meeting the Switch 1 Direct! So, yeah, High on Life, with Rick and Morty’s head honcho (who had a bit of a scandal), takes center stage.

Okay, backing up a sec: Spiritfall might capture a few glances on Friday. Oh, and EggConsole’s Rune Worth? It’s jumping to the PC-98 family. For those not fluent in Japanese—good luck playing that one. Over in Europe? Pre-launch sales for Switch 2 games have started appearing on the eShop. Trivia enthusiasts, keep an eye on Hitman: World of Assassination.

North America Lineup

High on Life: $39.99 (US) / $51.99 (CA) — lands Tuesday

Several others fill the roster:

• Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 at $29.99 | $41.99
• Captain Blood, $24.99 | $34.99 (also Tuesday)
• Mirage: Ignis Fatuus, $19.99 | $25.99

The quirky bunch includes Dunk Dunk, Strings Theory, Momibosu, and Bearnard, dropping Friday with a hefty $14.99 | $21.37 price tag.

Fancy a twisted romance? Check out Date With A Psycho Killer Girl or its sibling Date With A Serial Killer. Both politely priced at $14.90- | $19.90-.

For the simulator fans—Truck Simulator 25 – American Driver, $12.99 | $18.99 on Tuesday, to tickle that road-going itch.

I might’ve mentioned others—Stratogun, Pet The Pup At The Party, Game Builder Tycoon—but, wait, is anybody keeping track at this point? Ugh, I’ve confused myself.

Sales, Because Why Not?

May the 4th brings a treat—Star Trek: Legends at 67% off. But hurry, it’s only till May 18. I guess, check PSPrices or DekuDeals if you’re that kind of shopper.

Europe & Japan

I know, I know, skipping continents—Europe sees High on Life for €36.49/£30.49 on Tuesday. Same story, different currency for the rest.

Japan’s big hitter, Tokimeki Memorial, goes for ¥6600. It’s a number—do with that what you will.

Feeling overwhelmed? Who isn’t. This isn’t even all the games—some other list floats somewhere, but let’s be honest, you’ve probably mentally checked out by now.
