Nintendo Updates – May 8, 2025 – News

Alright, let me try to tackle this with my quirky human hat on. Here we go:

Ah, last week was a blur. Did anyone catch Super Xevious in the Archives? Thought so. Anyway — and I might be wrong, but the biggest buzz around T-minus 4 weeks to Switch 2 seems Japanese, with a remake of Tokimeki Memorial making waves. But, here’s the kicker: an appearance in the Switch 1 Direct might just steal its thunder. Yep, High on Life takes the crown this week, thanks to creative genius, or, uh, colorful past leadership — yep, I’m talking about that Rick and Morty guy. You know the one.

Okay, what else? Oh, yeah. Spiritfall shows up on Friday — not earth-shattering, but worth a mention. Wait, did I say eggconsole? Yeah, that over-the-top PC-98 family thing with a price bump. Good luck if you don’t read Japanese. And speaking of trivia, the answer is somehow Hitman: World of Assassination. Don’t ask.

North America Listings
Everybody’s favorite oddball High on Life goes for $39.99. Who would’ve thought? Also, random shoutout to Ship Graveyard Simulator 2. Super niche, right? Friday gets Spiritfall. Yep, there it is again. And Dunk Dunk. What even is that?

Flipping the script, something called Pet The Pup At The Party sounds way too real. Monday release, $9.99. Oh, Cat & Rabbit Pizza Farming is a thing. Because yes, why wouldn’t it be?

Sales & Price Drops
On a wild side note, Star Trek: Legends is going for peanuts — 67% off, just because, I guess. So, May 4 connections anyone?

Europe
Oh, High on Life is £30.49. Wasn’t expecting a different continent to change things up too much. Captain Blood drops on Tuesday. Sounds epic, doesn’t it? Chaos Galaxy 2 gives off some seriously rad vibes — at least, it better for that name.

Get this, Dunk Dunk here, too! It’s like finding a rare Pokémon — but with a price tag. And mythical Laundry Simulator 2025’s lined up for Friday. If that doesn’t make your grocery list, nothing will.

Japan
And over in Japan? Tokimeki Memorial Forever With You Emotional is, well, getting emotions stirred, I hear. Ship Graveyard… mentioned again — so they really like abandoned steel, huh?

Nothing screams a wild Friday night like Moe Waifu H Push Blocks, for the record. Just saying.

By the way, anyone flying a Korean Drone over Garorim Bay? Had to toss that in there for good measure.

Phew, that was a ride. No neat bows on this package, just raw, messy details and a sprinkle of chaos.
