Nintendo’s latest maintenance schedule for the week of May 11, 2025 is now available.

Aside from previously-announced downtime for the Nintendo eShops happening next week, an additional period has been added. There’ll be downtime for the Nintendo Switch Online app on Switch’s home menu a couple of days from now.

Below is the full Nintendo maintenance schedule for the week of May 11, 2025:

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O.

SEGA is bringing Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. to Nintendo Switch 2, the company just announced. A release window was not provided.

According to SEGA, “Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. takes the gameplay of Virtua Fighter 5 and raises it to new levels”. It features additional content, rollback netcode support, and more. Cross-play will be supported across all platforms.

Dunk Dunk trailer

Playtonic and Badgehammer issued a launch trailer for Dunk Dunk. This week, the chaotic multiplayer basketball game made it to Nintendo Switch.

Thanks to the eShop description, we have the following details:

Since the reveal of Nintendo Switch 2 last month and following the news about game-key cards, there’s been a claim regarding cartridges for the console. We’ve been hearing that unlike Switch 1, there aren’t many options when it comes to sizes. Nintendo Switch 1 offered developers and publishers various options including 8GB and 16GB. However, at least currently, it’s claimed that 64GB is pretty much the only option on Nintendo Switch 2.

It’s now looking like this may very well be true. Arc System Works appears to have been hit with an internal hack in which someone was able to steal tons of data. We don’t want to get into that too much, but the end result is that it’s brought along some Nintendo Switch 2 news.


Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Nintendo Switch games. These include Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact, and more.

Here’s the full roundup:

High On Life gameplay

We have a new round of High On Life gameplay showing the just-released Nintendo Switch port. The comedy adventure, coming from Trover Saves the Universe developer Squanch Games, also comes with the High On Knife DLC.

Additional information can be found in the following overview:

Fast Fusion 120 FPS mode

Fast Fusion may receive a 120 FPS performance mode after launch. That’s according to Manfred Linzner, who shared the news in an interview with Nintendo Everything.

Fast Fusion will run at 60 frames per second with a 4K resolution at launch. That alone is very much impressive. However, we could see an even higher level of performance in the future.

Although Stardew Valley has been around for many years, the game hasn’t charged for any of its updates. Everything has been free. That’s despite the fact that many of its patches have been substantial, bringing along new content, features, and more.

For what Stardew Valley has brought to the game over the past decade, many studios would have opted to charge for at least some of it as paid DLC. ConcernedApe, however, has not gone down that path. Now we get to hear directly from its creator about why all of the updates have been free.

Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya has shared some extensive thoughts about his plans for the series had he stayed on with PlatinumGames.

Kamiya left the company at the end of 2023. He has since founded the new studio Clovers and is teaming up with Capcom on an Okami sequel.

Wings of Endless trailer

A new launch trailer is in for Wings of Endless, which came to Nintendo Switch this week. The action RPG comes from JanduSoft and solo developer Isoca Games.

Plenty of details can be found in the following overview:
