Nintendo Releases – May 8, 2025 – Updates

Sure, uh, let’s dive into this chaos and see where we end up. One thing I, uh, didn’t notice right away was that Super Xevious slipped through the cracks last week. Oops.

So, anyway, there’s this big hullabaloo going on in Japan with some old game getting a makeover — Tokimeki Memorial or something. But what’s got folks riled up is this Switch 1 Direct thingamajig, right? Outta nowhere, bam — “High on Life” pops up. Now, the guy who was pulling the creative strings, he’s kinda infamous for fronting Rick and Morty before stepping into a pile of controversy. Not gonna get into the dirty details, but you get it.

Oh, and Friday’s got Spiritfall on the lineup. Neat, I guess. Here’s a kicker, though: the EggConsole is moving to the PC-98 line and suddenly Rune Worth’s pricier. If your Japanese is rusty, play at your own risk. Also, hey, a fun tidbit — Switch 2 games, already on a pre-launch sale spree in Europe. Weird trivia time: first game sold? Hitman: World of Assassination.

Alright, let’s stumble into North America. Leading the charge — High on Life, costing a pretty penny. Few other games like Ship Graveyard 2, Captain Blood, and all these random names like Mirage: Ignis Fatuus and Chaos Galaxy 2. Spiritfall’s on the list for Friday, too. Dunk Dunk sounds, I dunno, maybe like a basketball game? Who even knows. Truck Simulator 25 is out on Tuesday, cruising into the chaos.

Europe’s got nearly the same deal. High on Life Tuesday, same price but, you know, in Euros and Pounds. Stuff like Spiritfall’s hitting Friday. Probably ought to mention, Dunk Dunk is here too. I’m guessing it’s just as ambiguous across the pond.

Japan’s got its own flavor, starting with Tokimeki Memorial — expensive nostalgia trip alert! Continuing the common theme, there’s Ship Graveyard Sim 2 and Captain Blood.

And because life’s nothing without sales, here’s a gem for May 4 fans — Star Trek: Legends is having a wild 67% off sale until the 18th. Lucky trekkers!

Okay, brain’s fried. Probably forgot something. Maybe not. Oh well, there it is — the wild, unfiltered mess. Good luck digging through this!
