Nintendo Downloads – March 12, 2026 – News

On this week which marks the start of my 11th year writing news for Nintendo World Report, the Switch 2 is certainly bringing the big guns with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (Neal’s review), the remake of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, and the opposite of heat, WWE 2k26. I’m actually kind of surprised that Stores came in at a T rating, given that this is a series that refers to “monsties” on a fairly regular basis, but we may find out more on Friday.

For the OG Switch, a game originally dated for June 2024 finally lands this week in Bubblegum Galaxy, and an intriguing looking game called Bean Beasts.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: A whole-hog Indie World which in addition to the shadowdrops we mentioned on the day in question there was also the oddly-titled Ooo (there’s supposed to be an umlaut over the capital O). The Archives dropped an Arcade game in 1987 Taito game Plump Pop and on the console side, a probably-untranslated-knowing-Hamster version of Nobunaga’s Ambition. Or as I and a lot of other people spelled it then, “Nobunga’s Ambition”.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: Hard to say, if I’m being honest.
