Alright, let’s dive into the swirling chaos of this week’s Nintendo eShop happenings — kind of a tornado of new stuff, really. So, besides me getting distracted by the sheer number of games (seriously, does anyone ever play all of these?), there’s quite a bit to unpack. Let’s see if I can string a somewhat coherent string of thoughts here without getting lost. Or lost-ish.
First up, imagine this: discounts galore! Like, who doesn’t love a bargain? I was scrolling through Nintendo of America’s site and bam! Sales slapping you in the face. (In a good way? Maybe.) Go check ’em out. Or don’t. Your call, really.
Now, meandering on to the shiny new stuff hitting the Nintendo Switch 2 this week — feeling like a kid in a candy shop just listing them out on here. Catchy titles like “Drag X Drive” (sounds fast!) and “EA Sports Madden NFL 26” (because who doesn’t enjoy the yearly sports update, am I right?).
Then there are the Nintendo Switch games. Oh boy, this is where it gets wild. Brace yourselves for randomness. Have you ever thought, “Wow, I’d love a game called ‘Bendy: Lone Wolf’?” Well, someone did. Available this Friday, August 15. Mark it, don’t mark it — up to you. Just like this avalanche of other games: “1989 After the War,” “Bubble Wizard IV Saga,” “Demons Are Coming!,” and soooo many more I can hardly keep track.
Some games dropping are actually sounding all ‘future-y,’ like “Cyber AI Defense” or perhaps “Cyber Car Seller Simulator.” Whoever thought selling cyber cars could be, you know, game-worthy? Anyway, wait, where was I? Oh, “Bunkers 1944 FPS” throws in some history — type of history lesson in disguise (kind of).
And, a side note only slightly relevant, a bunch like “Mad Skills BMX 2” and “Hop ’n’ Marty” make the cut. BMX bikes versus hopping creatures. Really. My brain trying to visualize this is a mess. And naming—like, did someone actually say, “Yes, ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown’ is the winning name!”? It’s delightful. Or maybe not. Who knows?
Riding this wave of randomness, if you dig arcade stuff, here’s “Toaplan Arcade Collection Vol. 1 and 2.” Love how there’s already a volume two without hesitation. Bold move, Nintendo.
That’s it. A frenzied mess of video game excitement. Do with it what you will. Or don’t. Your choice at the end of the day.
