Nintendo Download Highlights: August 14, 2025 (North America)

Alright, folks, brace yourselves for this week’s scoop straight from Nintendo’s treasure trove. Yeah, I don’t really know why I get so hyped, but it’s something about those pixels, you dig? Anyway, let’s dive into the chaos—uh, I mean update—for the Nintendo eShop for North America. Spoiler: it’s packed with games and sweet, sweet discounts. Like, I can already hear my wallet groaning.

Now, on to those eShop sales—killer deals. Seriously, just head over to the Nintendo of America site and lose yourself in the list. You might find a gem or just a time-waster, but hey, that’s part of the adventure.

So, what’s fresh on Nintendo Switch 2 this week? Well, as far as I can tell:

• Drag X Drive. Sounds intense, right?
• EA Sports Madden NFL 26. Gotta love some virtual football action.

But that’s not all, no sir. The original Nintendo Switch isn’t sitting idle either. There’s a line-up of titles hitting the virtual shelves. Like, a wild mix of everything from epic sagas to survival escapades, even more than I have space to ramble about here:

• 1989 After the War: Drops Friday, August 15. Nostalgia trip?
• Bendy: Lone Wolf: Same release day. Dark and spooky, anyone?
• Bubble Wizard IV Saga: I mean, bubbles and wizards—what’s not to love?
• Bunkers 1944 FPS: Got those historical vibes, out Friday too.
• Cats in Cozy Rooms: Purr-fect for the cat lovers.

That’s just scratching the surface, honestly. There’s more happening on August 15 and 20 than I can keep straight. Games like Demons Are Coming!, Mind Over Magnet, or Re:Play are just hanging there, tempting and taunting. And yeah, see if you can get your hands on Zumba – Treasure of the Marble Sea if you’re into that sort of thing.

I could go on, but I’d probably just get sidetracked talking about yarn guardians or hyper dots, and you might fall asleep if I list them all. Check the full list online, you’re bound to stumble upon something weirdly wonderful or… well, just plain weird.

Phew, that’s it for now. Remember, gaming’s supposed to be fun, even if it means wrestling with software updates or just poring over a loooong list of possibilities. Go play something awesome!
