Pokemon Friends

The latest Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of July 26, 2025 are now available.

After it was announced in a Pokemon Presents this week, Pokemon Friends pops up for the first time. The Combo Bundle makes the top ten (as it’s the more expensive item), but we see the regular version here as well. Elsewhere, Super Mario Party Jamboree continues its domination.

Below are the full Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of July 26, 2025:

Misc. A Tiny Tale trailer

Fresh off of its Nintendo Switch launch this week, we have a new trailer for Misc. A Tiny Tale. This new heartfelt 3D adventure title comes from Tinyware Games.

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

Shadow Labyrinth review

System: Switch 2 (also on Switch)
Release date: July 17, 2025
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during the pitch meeting for Shadow Labyrinth. Of all the ways Bandai Namco could have commemorated the 45th anniversary of Pac-Man, the idea the company landed on was to release an exploration-driven action-platformer set on a sprawling sci-fi planet. Not only that, but Bandai Namco greenlit, developed, and released a game in which the player is accompanied by a dark (possibly evil?) take on Pac-Man named Puck, who devours the souls of slain enemies to help the player level up. It’s a bonkers concept for a spin-off, and one I knew I needed to experience for myself to fully understand.

Pokemon Champions leak

Fans believe that new details about Pokemon Champions have leaked from 4chan posts, which could be partially verified by this week’s Pokemon Presents.

During the broadcast, The Pokemon Company shared more information about the battle-focused game. One of the things we heard about are Victory Points, which were accurately described in the leaks. Based on this, while we’re typically hesitant to share 4chan posts, we feel it’s at least worth mentioning.

We’ve posted the full roundup of details from the Pokemon Champions leak below. Note that this information has not been verified currently.

The Knightling Nintendo Switch cancelled

The Knightling, which was previously announced for Nintendo Switch, has been cancelled on that system.

We’ve received the news from the game’s official X account. “This was a difficult decision for us and we understand this is disappointing for fans who have been anticipating the Switch release,” Saber Interactive and Twirlbound said. The Knightling has gone gold and is still launching for other platforms on August 28.

Yosei Wars

June 3: Rawrlab Games is making Yosei Wars for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, the studio announced today. A release window was not shared.

Yosei Wars is a 2D platformer inspired by the Game Boy era and arcade titles. In fact, it was originally designed as a homebrew release for Nintendo’s retro portable.

Here’s a bit of additional information:

Donkey Kong Bananza ending explained

Donkey Kong Bananza has been out for a week now, and it’s been met with rave reviews across the board. If you’re playing through casually and not going for 100% completion, the game isn’t overly long – you can get through the main story in about 20 hours, so we’d imagine some of you have already rolled the credits. Donkey Kong Bananza contains plenty of interesting story elements, and today we’re analyzing how this could change the lore of the greater Mario franchise. Yes, we’re aware that it’s a Donkey Kong game and lore isn’t terribly important – but it’s still fun to speculate. Needless to say, there are major spoilers within, so you might want to bookmark this post and come back later if you haven’t beaten the game yet.

No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI The Somnium Files trailer

Going along with today’s launch, Spike Chunsoft sent out a launch trailer for No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files. This new detective adventure / puzzle game has come to both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.

Learn more about the game in the following overview, thanks to Spike Chunsoft:

Plants vs. Zombies Reloaded

March 18: A new rating has appeared for Plants vs. Zombies Reloaded on Nintendo Switch, which is currently unannounced.

The classification was added to the official database in Brazil. Unfortunately, no description is included as part of the listing. While we basically have nothing here, we can speculate a bit.

While there’s been no official announcement, it’s claimed that SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide will be releasing on Nintendo Switch 2.

The game itself has yet to be revealed. However, we know that it exists as it was previously rated in Germany. Interestingly, Nintendo Switch 2 was not part of that original classification, but it would make sense for THQ Nordic to bring the new SpongeBob game over to Nintendo’s latest console.
