Nintendo Releases – May 8, 2025 – Updates

Sure thing, let me take a spin on that.

—

Okay, so here’s one for the record books or your random-thoughts journal. I stumbled across something that made me wonder why I even noticed it in the first place. But, yeah, here goes nothing. Last week, we were so zoned out that we missed “Super Xevious” in the Archives. Seriously, how does that even happen? Anyway—wait, um, yeah, let’s dive in.

So, here’s a hot take: The buzziest game to look out for in the next… err, four weeks until Switch 2 might actually be hanging out in Japan. It’s the return of “Tokimeki Memorial”—a full-on revival. But, there’s a twist, right? One little Switch 1 Direct move and bam, “High on Life” (yeah, with the dude who ran the Rick and Morty show before personal stuff hit the fan) strolls in to steal the spotlight. Allegedly, anyway.

Now, off on a tangent—Friday’s aerial highlight is Spiritfall. But I caught this spike in prices for the EggConsole line, migrating to the old PC-98 crew with Rune Worth. Who’s playing that without some Japanese skills? Best of luck! At least, over in Europe, there’s buzz of pre-launch snatches for Switch 2 on the eShop. Remember that trivia for later: Hitman: World of Assassination’s gonna be an answer one day.

What’s droppin’ in North America, you ask? Here’s this jumble of titles and numbers. Try to keep up:

– “High on Life” drops Tuesday at $39.99—maple leaf people, it’s C$51.99.
– Feeling mechanical? “Ship Graveyard Simulator 2” sails in at $29.99.
– And oh, “Captain Blood” enters the tally at $24.99 on Tuesday. Arr!
– Let’s skip a few and spotlight “Spiritfall” gathering our coins on Friday for $19.99.

You know, at some point, I’ve gotta wonder how many simulators we actually need… Everyone wants in on that action, I guess! And what’s up with all these killer dating series? Guess people are into excitement—from serial killers to psycho, erm, love interests? You do you, folks.

On we roll to the sales bin! May the fourth be with you, Star Trek: Legends devotees, landing a sweet 67% off until the 18th. Check out PSPrices or DekuDeals while you’re at it.

Oh, hopping across the pond!

Europe gets:

– “High on Life” — that’s €36.49 if you’re in the euro zone, or £30.49 for the pound holders, swooping in Tuesday.
– The intriguing spirit brawler, “Spiritfall,” graces Friday at €18.99.
– Curious puzzles in “Beautiful Anime Puzzles – Rainy Days” for a cool €3.99? Sign me up… I think.

Bouncing to Japan! The beloved “Tokimeki Memorial” hits a high note at ¥6600, but hold onto your yen for intriguing pieces like “Mirage: Ignis Fatuus” at ¥2500.

And speaking of overload—there’s “Truck Simulator 25 – American Driver,” zipping by at ¥1999. Seriously, it’s like every niche is celebrated here. No complaints—except maybe my wallet!

Who even makes time to play all these?
Seriously.

Anyway, those are some tidbits and bits. Totally sidetracked. But here it is, my honest, zig-zagging rundown of a week’s gaming galaxy.

Catch ya on the flipside!
