Nintendo Downloads – News Update for May 15, 2025

You ever think about how, like, half the stuff online just floats around in some weird limbo? Like the "Korean Drone Flying Tour" folks. Do they know South Korea’s technically still at war? Wild. Anyway, oh wait, where was I going with this? Right—the game release lineup this week, I think.

So, here’s the thing: Is there a slowdown happening with new game releases? Or maybe, it’s just the aftermath of me overdoing it on Switch 2 Day 1. My wrist hasn’t been the same since, but it could just be everyone chilling out for Golden Week. Guess we’ll have to see how things shake out by Saturday. Maybe the stars will reveal themselves. Or maybe not. Who knows.

This week, the "big game" isn’t actually just one game. It’s like this whole bunch, with the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 leading the charge. There’re some gems in there—Power Stone fans, anyone? And—oh! Aksys and Otomate bring us 7’scarlet. Honestly, it’s gonna burn a hole in the wallet. Better check it out with Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade too. Almost feels like Christmas, but… uh, in spring. You know what I mean?

And not to miss those oddities from other exhibitions—American Arcadia by Team 17 and this quirky Kulebra thing from Fellow Traveller. Kinda like mixed nuts from a gas station. Then there’s just two Korean Drone games this week. They’ve been popping up like the Aldora Games of Pix Arts. I kid you not.

Oh, hey, did I forget something from last week? Konami’s Punk Shot. My bad.

Quick detour—The EggConsole game, Schwarzschild. Can you play it without knowing Japanese? No way, buddy. Unless you like staring at screen text you can’t read. Major no-go.
