Nintendo Releases for April 10, 2025 – Latest Updates

After a whirlwind week of excitement, we’re settling back into the usual rhythm on the original Switch.

We might have missed it last week, but Namco’s Assault Plus swooped into the Archives. As for last week? Let’s just say it was quite the spectacle. The hype from the Switch 2 Direct and the madness that ensued, especially from the year 20500, left us almost nostalgic for a more mellow week of eShop releases. But rest assured, there’s still plenty to keep an eye on. Take, for instance, Star Overdrive, the hovercraft-centric game that had a brief moment in the Direct spotlight. It’s hard to believe, but that Direct was just over a week ago, even if it feels like a flashback. Also debuting this week is Battlefield Waltz from Idea Factory/Otomate, which has been localized by IFI. Though, it might be wise to hold off until we hear about any potential day-one patches. (I’m definitely waiting!)

Other releases to take note of include "Promise Mascot Agency," yet another entry into the Snow Bros. series, and fans of classic games can relax as EggConsole’s maze game from 1983, Pyramid Warp, remains available for those outside Japan.
