Nintendo Downloads – August 7, 2025 – Updates

Imagine this, right? A week that’s both “not too busy” and “wait, seriously, how is it August already?” kicks off with Gradius Origins. And yeah, that one showed up back in March’s Switch 1 Direct. I remember thinking, “Those lasers—they look like the key to taking down that final boss in NES Pro Wrestling.” Or maybe not. Could be I was just daydreaming about lasers? Anyway, there’s also a remake of The House of the Dead 2 if you’re into that whole Forever Entertainment thing. But wait—switching gears—anime fans can dive into Demon Slayer’s latest thrill-fest or Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Sounds fancy, right?

So, on the quirky side of things: I couldn’t help but notice—why does The Edge of Allegoria remind me of Pokémon RBY? In HD no less. Like, seriously, when is something gonna catch Nintendo’s trademark police’s eye? Oh, and there’s Team17’s Ritual of Raven. What even is that?

Oh yeah, last week’s stuff—mind went blank there for a sec—what did we miss? Right, a Partner Showcase popped up outta nowhere with Chilling By The Fire. And of course, the cursed reset of the “Directs Without Saga Reveal” counter. Come on, Square Enix, can we catch a break? Couple of 3DS-era Harvest Moons transitioned to Switch too, because why not, right? Also, a Taito Archives release called “Field Day” happened. Don’t ask me why it’s called that.

Without the language cheat sheet—can you handle the JAPANESE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYING? I think so, maybe? Sounds like it’s more action RPG, in another Xak remix—though if it gets chatty… good luck with that.
