We’ll have to wait for an official announcement, but it looks like the final crossover DLC for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has been revealed.

We actually have a pretty good idea about most of the DLC lineup. Minecraft, SpongeBob SquarePants, Pac-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and Avatar Legends have all been announced at this point. Everything was confirmed throughout the summer. That brings us to today’s potential leak – which we’ll be covering below, so keep that in mind before proceeding.

It’s time for the newest North American Nintendo Download Switch report for the week of September 18, 2025. The latest releases on the Nintendo eShop include Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and more. 

Here’s the full roundup:

September 17: After it was just announced a few days ago, Nintendo has come out with a lengthy trailer for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. The seven-minute video covers both games specifically before covering new additions for the Nintendo Switch release. Note that the video is in Japanese, but an English version will likely come in later.

Here’s an overview of the game:

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:

Hollow Knight Silksong difficulty

At the ACMI Game Worlds exhibition in Melbourne, Team Cherry’s Ari Gibson and William Pellen commented on the difficulty of Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Just like the series’ first game, Silksong has been getting a lot of love. But there have been a few discussion points, including the difficulty.

Gibson shared the following:

Everybody's Golf Hot Shots review

System: Switch
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Hyde
Publisher: Bandai Namco

Whoever originally coined the phrase “comparison is the thief of joy” must have had access to a time machine solely built to show them 2025’s Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots. The latest in a string of first-party Sony franchises shorn of their exclusivity, Bandai Namco and development studio Hyde have created a game that seems overtly reliant on players having no prior experience with the series. Seeing as it’s been eight years since the last Everybody’s Golf, perhaps there are players out there who won’t have had the pleasure of hitting these hallowed links – but fair warning: this review is going to read more like a PSA than an objective deconstruction of Hyde/Bamco’s work.

Nickelodeon Splat Pack

Nickelodeon Splat Pack is on the way to Nintendo Switch, Limited Run Games just revealed.

This is a new collection of classic titles. It comes with Aaahh Real Monsters (SNES and SEGA Genesis), G.U.T.S (SNES), and Rocko’s Modern Life: Spunky’s Dangerous Day (SNES).

Here’s some information about each title:

Star Wars Outlaws review

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Massive Entertainment
Publisher: Ubisoft

Star Wars Outlaws may not have met Ubisoft’s sales expectations when it first released on other platforms last year, but for many fans of the franchise, it’s a dream game all the same. There are plenty of titles based on the IP where you can play as a lightsaber-wielding hero, but Outlaws pursues a different goal: making the player feel like a bounty hunter in a seedy, unsafe part of the Galaxy where trust comes at a premium and everyone wants to kill you. It’s also a very ambitious game for a device like Switch 2, so I was excited to see how the game would play on Nintendo’s new console after a year’s worth of updates and new content.

Donkey Kong Bananza DK Island Emerald Rush Review

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 12, 2025
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo

All things considered, it seems safe to say that fans don’t appreciate Nintendo’s price antics lately. The recent Nintendo Direct confirmed the most expensive amiibo of all time, a $70 Super Mario Galaxy collection, and now a $20 Donkey Kong Bananza DLC two months after launch. That’s not inherently a problem – Bananza was in development for quite some time, given that it started out as a Switch 1 game. That said, the Nintendo Direct doesn’t do a very good job of telling you what the DLC actually is. From the previews, you would think DK Island is Donkey Kong Bananza’s version of the Mushroom Kingdom. And in many ways, it is – but it doesn’t have any Banandium Gems or fossils, nor any collectibles other than new outfits tied to the titular Emerald Rush mode. In other words, DK Island is essentially a big, pretty set piece – it’s nice to look at and fun to explore for a few minutes, but there’s not really anything of substance within.

September 12: Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are returning in a new collection. This launches on October 2, 2025.

The two titles will be sold together as a physical bundle. Both of these titles will be available individually on the Nintendo eShop as well.

These are largely the same games as they were on Wii. There are some extra bells and whistles though, including enhanced resolution, improved UI, Assist Mode, and new Storybook content.

On top of the above, new amiibo are coming in April. Here’s a look:
