Okay, let’s dive into the bizarre world of this week’s Nintendo eShop update in Europe. Not gonna lie, scrolling through this list feels like discovering a secret menu at a fast-food joint. So many games, so little time — and a few quirks to note.
Games Tumbling Out This Week:
-
7’scarlet – Honestly, no clue what’s behind this title. Murder mystery? Cooking show? Your guess is as good as mine.
-
American Arcadia – Sounding like a travel brochure, but it’s not. It’s definitely something… else. Maybe an adventure. Or not.
-
Apocalypse Market Simulator – Because, of course, who wouldn’t want to practice for the end of the world? Stock up on those canned beans!
-
Aureole – Wings of Hope – Definitely reminds me of angelic stuff, but I could be wrong. Maybe it’s about skydiving. Or knitting. Didn’t check.
-
Boxville 2 – Now I missed the first one, but I imagine a city made of boxes. Cardboard kingdom, anyone?
-
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 – Hitting us on Friday, 16 May. Classic fighting games? Probably. They punch, they kick, they yell in pixelated glory.
-
Cozy Winter – Dropping on Saturday, 17 May. Probably warm and fuzzy. Like a digital hot cocoa moment, I guess.
-
Death Park: Remaster – When ‘Death’ and ‘Park’ meet, expect fun rides? Uh, not sure about the rides…
-
Digger Simulator: Gold Rush – For budding archaeologists? Or someone with a strong opinion about dirt.
-
EGGCONSOLE Schwarzschild PC-9801 – Say that three times fast! Mind melt imminent.
- Food Truck Business Simulator – Also popping up on the 16th, because virtual food is calorie-free, right?
And so on and so forth. The list is long, maybe too long. There’s:
- Forgotten Fields
- Hannah’s Day (Also May 17)
- Hentai Girls: Maid Cafe Love – Yep. Moving on quickly…
And, oh, Hidden Kittens: Kingdom of Cats – Kitty fans, rejoice! Sort of.
We’ve got our fair share of monster games and oddly specific simulators:
- Into The Restless Ruins
- Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy – Giants stomping on cities for fun. Or justice. Or just chaos.
With some Korean flavor, too:
- Korean Flying Tour Bagatsurobong
- Korean Drone Flying Tour Taean-gun
All available in the wild wild west (or east) of digital sales.
There’s Labyrinth of the Demon King, pounding in your head with its darkness. Or not.
More Friday, 16 May releases like:
- Mostroscopy
- Neon Apex: Beyond The Limit – Makes me wonder what’s beyond those limits. Outer space? Deep ocean? Or just beyond my attention span.
Sunday gives us Only Up! Cars – Just imagine cars soaring, I mean really.
Ending off with a nice collection of:
- Our Exciting Summer Camp
- Preserve
- Race Track Maniacs
- Sky Revolver – Yeah, heard that somewhere.
- Subway Simulator 2025 – City Train – For the underground adventure lovers.
- Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC – Vroom vroom or something.
Oh, there’s SYNESTHESIA, and I’m feeling colors just spelling that out.
To wrap it all up, Tavern Owner Simulator (Arriving Saturday, 17 May), a mix of frothy ale and virtual cents perhaps? And:
- Tiebreak+ Ace Edition
- World at War: Cobra
- Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade
Anyway, whether you’re a hardcore gamer or someone who just stares at these titles like “Huh?”, there’s definitely something here to tickle your fancy. Or at least make you ponder the mysteries of naming conventions in the gaming world.
