Nintendo Releases – July 3, 2025 – News

Sure thing. Let’s dive in, shall we?

So there I was, trying to blame my Go Fest walking-induced haze, but honestly, it’s this crazy fear of a leak in my apartment that’s really got me. I can’t stop thinking about it. And you know, this first week of Q3? Always feels like a ghost town. Canada Day, July 4th… you get the drift. But, this one’s weirdly slower than usual. Almost makes you wonder if someone hit pause on the world. Or maybe that’s just my leaky-ceiling paranoia talking. Who knows.

Switch 2? Forget it. Not a whisper this week. We’re stuck with the original, sadly. There’s an Irem Collection drop on Wednesday, something to do with Slender—never been my thing—and some third installment of a series where I don’t even remember the second one. Contractual obligation kind of vibes all around this week. Except once we hit Super Mario Strikers… then maybe we’ll start to feel alive again.

Shadowdrops? Hopefully those stay light too. Fingers crossed.

And oh, last week—somehow missed "Crazy Balloon" in the Archives. No idea how or why that matters, but there it is. And if you’re wondering about the EggConsole game, don’t panic. No Japanese required. Action RPGs are more my speed anyway.

North America Rundown

• Irem Collection Volume 3, a cool $24.99/$34.99 — struggling here, maybe? Comes out Tuesday.
• Slender Threads at $19.99 or C$27.83
• Poly Bridge 3? Same price tag as Slender Threads.
• No Heroes Here 2 for less than 20 bucks—technically $19.90 (Tuesday drop).
• Dead of Darkness needs $15.99 from you, drops Wednesday.
• Then there’s Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia, shaking out at $14.99.
• Long list short: from Dragon Eclipse to an Escape Game about a kitty… almost anything you could dream up, really.

And the Nintendo summer sale—Xenoblade classics getting their prices slashed until July 10. Thanks, PSPrices and DekuDeals, for keeping us in the loop.

Europe Vibes

• Irem Collection Volume 3 here costs you a nifty €24.99—dropped by Tuesday.
• Slender Threads? €19.99. Why not.
• Poly Bridge 3 follows that price point too.
• No Heroes Here 2 for a smidge lower at €17.99 (here it hits by Tuesday too).
• Something darker? “Dead of Darkness,” your €15.99 fix, rolls in Wednesday.

Japan

Over in Japan, Slender Threads sticks around at ¥2920, drifting there, hovering… sure. No Heroes Here 2 joins the ¥2000 club and several others get in the mix, ranging from ¥100 up to ¥2920. Details — not my problem today.

I mean, that’s a wrap on the upcoming stuff. Sales, price drops, maybe a hint of excitement. Maybe it’s just this leaky apartment. Gotta deal with that. Cheers till next time.
