Mario Kart World Direct recap

Nintendo just delivered an official recap announcement for today’s Mario Kart World Direct. The press release goes over all of the notable details shared during today’s presentation.

Here’s the full rundown:

It’s time for the newest North American Nintendo Download Switch report for the week of April 17, 2025. The latest releases on the Nintendo eShop include Lunar Remastered Collection

Here’s the full roundup:

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:

Mario Kart World Direct live stream

The Mario Kart World Direct is almost here, and for those looking to tune in, we’ve got a dedicated post for the live stream. Look for the broadcast to kick off at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe. The event will be about 15 minutes long.

We were given a pretty good look at the game during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and Treehouse: Live just a couple of weeks ago, but Nintendo clearly has more to say. If there’s anything significant, we’ll pass it along on the main site. Nintendo should also provide us with an official recap announcement after the event which we’ll share as well.

Dokapon Sword of Fury

Out of nowhere, Dokapon: Sword of Fury has just launched on Nintendo Switch in the west.

The remaster of the PlayStation game first came to Japan last August. There’s been no word on an English release, so today’s news certainly comes as a surprise. The title originally released in 1998.

The store page provides the following details:

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound Kumori

Kumori will be fully playable in Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, it’s been announced. She’ll be present right alongside Kenji Mozu, who was shown as part of the initial reveal a few months ago.

Kumori is a member of the antagonistic Black Spider Clan, which is central to the series. Her fighting style forgoes traditional rules to emerge victorious from battle by any means necessary. Kumori uses modern weaponry and demonic sources of power to reach her goals and brave challenges unique to her story. 

Here’s some additional information:

Mario Kart World Direct

April 2: A Mario Kart World Direct is on the way, Nintendo has announced. The presentation will take place on April 17 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.

Mario Kart World was fully revealed today, but it’ll have its own dedicated presentation later in the month. Fans looking for more information about it will want to tune in.

Xbox Nintendo Switch 2

January 25: Xbox began its support with the current Nintendo Switch, and that should extend to Switch 2 as well.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer was recently asked about his thoughts concerning the new console in an interview with Gamertag Radio. Spencer has heaped paise on Nintendo plenty of times before, so it’s no surprise that he once again shared some very positive thoughts here.

Lunar Remastered Collection review

System: Switch
Release date: April 18, 2025
Developer: Ashibi / Game Arts
Publisher: GungHo

There’s a kind of magic that only summer can hold – long days, the hum of cicadas, and for me, the unmistakable excitement of borrowing a PlayStation game from a new RPG-obsessed friend I’d met at summer day camp (shout out to Nik from the YMCA Day Camp program, you were legit.) I was twelve, sunburned, full of cheap cookies, sugary artificially flavored red drink, and a sense of adventure. The game was Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. I didn’t know it then, but that disc would become one of the most formative RPG experiences of my awkward little middle school life.

Shotgun Cop Man release date

The upcoming Nintendo Switch game Shotgun Cop Man just received a release date. Publisher Devolver Digital and developer DeadToast Entertainment will be bringing it out on May 1, 2025.

Shotgun Cop Man is notable as it comes from the same studio as My Friend Pedro. It didn’t take long to hear about the release date as the initial announcement just took place in February.
