Nintendo Download: August 14, 2025 (North America)

Whoa, where do I even start? This week’s Nintendo eShop update is all over the place, bringing new stuff both for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the regular Switch. It’s kind of a mess, really—like my brain when I’m trying to remember the name of that movie where the guy talks to the ball… Wilson?

Anyway, diving straight into it—all these deals popping up like unexpected rain showers. Seriously, you gotta check what’s happening over at Nintendo of America’s site. Some sweet discounts, for sure. Grab a coffee, maybe two, and give it a scroll.

Now — oh, wait — let’s talk about the Switch 2 games. We’ve got “Drag X Drive” which, honestly, sounds like a racing game but could totally be a cooking sim for all I know. And “EA Sports Madden NFL 26”, because why the heck not add another one to the pile if you missed the last twenty-five.

Moving on—or should I say, backtracking a bit—we have the regular Nintendo Switch newbies. Quite a list, I’m telling you. “1989 After the War”, “Bendy: Lone Wolf”—is it me or is this naming oddly satisfying?—and all supposed to drop Friday 15th August. Mark your calendars, if anyone remembers how to do that anymore.

Between “Cats in Cozy Rooms” (which is probably as adorable as it sounds) and “Cyber Car Seller Simulator” (like, really?), this lineup is a blend of cute and just plain baffling. Forgot to mention “Duck: Dangerous Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper” earlier, which, if you ask me, is the most ridiculous yet intriguing title ever. No idea how a cartridge gets kidnapped, but hey, stranger things have happened.

I nearly lost my spot—distracted by thoughts of bubble baths and wizard sagas—so back on track: there’s this “Demons Are Coming” game which, I think, gives off some serious ’90s nostalgia vibes. And oh, “Escape the Backrooms BODYCAM” sounds like something I dreamt after watching too much late-night horror.

Totally thought I was done, but nope. There’s “Hop ‘n’ Marty,” “Hyper Dots” (whatever that’s about), and a swarm of others like “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown” which instantly transports me to pizza-loaded Saturday mornings. Classic.

So, whether you’re out for a wild nostalgia trip or a brand-new adventure, this update’s got that chaotic energy that’ll keep you guessing. Well, I kind of lost my point—did I even have one? But either way, happy gaming, folks.
