It’s time for the newest North American Nintendo Download Switch report for the week of March 20, 2025. The latest releases on the Nintendo eShop include Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, Atelier Yumia, and more.

Here’s the full roundup:

Atelier Yumia Tekken 8

Today, Koei Tecmo and Gust revealed that it’s working with Bandai Namco on a Tekken 8 crossover for Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land with new DLC.

The collaboration will involve costumes, special skills, and accessories which. Everything will be available for free in the future. Beyond that, specifics have not been shared. A special piece of art was released from artist Benitama, showing Yumia and the mysterious fighter Reina from Tekken 8.

Plants vs. Zombies Reloaded

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.

We’ve already seen LEGO cross over with Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Animal Crossing, but it’s now been announced that another Nintendo-related property is getting the same treatment – that being Pokemon.

Earlier today, a video was posted by LEGO Mexico on Facebook before it was quickly pulled. During that period when it was available, fans were able to preserve it in full. While it doesn’t show much, Pikachu is teased in LEGO form. It’s a quick clip, though it’s nonetheless clear that we’re getting LEGO Pokemon sets in the future. It’s now confirmed that this will all kick off in 2026.

Here’s that video in full:

Nightdive Studios just revealed a re-release of I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream, and it’s landing on Nintendo Switch very soon. We already know that the game is launching on March 27, 2025.

I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream first released in 1995. It’s a point-and-click adventure horror game based on Harlan Ellison’s short story of the same name.

Here’s some information about it:

Missile Command Delta

Atari, Mighty Yell, and 13AM Games today announced Missile Command Delta for Nintendo Switch. The title arrives later in 2025.

Missile Command Delta is a reimagining of Atari’s 1980s missile defense arcade classic, reborn as a turn-based tactical game set against a mysterious narrative that leaves you questioning whether you’re trapped in a simulation or truly defending cities from attack.

Animal Crossing multiplayer improvements

One of the most highly-criticized features of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is its multiplayer system. Strangely enough, though, multiplayer was also one of the reasons the game became such a runaway success. It released during the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, which played a big part in why New Horizons sold almost 50 million units. Players were able to use Animal Crossing as something of a communication medium during this time – where people couldn’t meet up and hang out in real life, they still could in Animal Crossing to an extent. That being said, once players actually visited each others’ islands, they found that there wasn’t all that much to do. You could take others on a quick tour of your island, but that wouldn’t take much time After that, all that’s left is to walk around and look at things. Animal Crossing’s multiplayer has always been like this, to an extent, but its shallowness kind of hit a peak with New Horizons.

So today, we’re looking at multiplayer in the Animal Crossing series and how Nintendo could improve it for the next game in the series. There’s real potential for something great here, and we have some ideas on how to make it much better.

Every now and then, a game is announced and / or released that you can’t believe actually exists. This could be for various reasons – series that seemed finished, games that get sequels despite the originals not selling well, and more.

For me, there are probably three that immediately come to mind. The first one involves Xenoblade Chronicles – while it’s a fairly successful series for Nintendo these days, that wasn’t always the case. Fans will remember how they had to beg for the first game to be released in North America. The fact that we ended up getting a game beyond the original is an accomplishment in its own right, but now the franchise has various games and Monolith Soft is one of Nintendo’s most prolific developers. It’s crazy to think about how Xenoblade started and where it is today – multiple games, Smash Bros. representation, and even amiibo figures.

According to a report from eXputer writer eXtas1s, Bandai Namco plans to bring Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero to Nintendo Switch 2.

In a new video put up on YouTube, eXtas1s brings up Bandai Namco’s strong relationship with Nintendo in which the two sides have collaborated on specific projects. While Elden Ring and Tekken 8 from the publisher is also rumored, eXtas1s seems to have heard that Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero on Nintendo Switch 2 is something that’s specifically happening. Further claimed is that we should be getting it around the console’s launch.

For the most part, the Splatoon series is iterative – each new game that releases is intended to replace the previous one. Even though Splatoon 3 is currently the most recent entry in the series, there are still reasons – albeit small ones – to go back to the original title on Wii U plus Splatoon 2 on Nintendo Switch, which still has semi-active servers in Turf War and the like. Most of these reasons boil down to the unique story modes available in both games, which have unique levels and lore that Splatoon 3’s story mode doesn’t. Also, even though Splatoon 3 is essentially meant to replace both Splatoon and Splatoon 2, there are still reasons to love these two games above all else. Today, we’re going through all three Splatoon games and the unique features they have over the others and asking you: what’s your favorite of the three?
