Nintendo Downloads – May 21, 2026 – News

This week is notable largely for the release of Nintendo’s first game of the “digital is cheaper” era in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, which I hope is the same book Goombella uses to call the AI obsessed what they are. There’s also Tales of Arise from Bamco, a couple of multiplatform games in Coffee Talk Tokyo and R-Type Dimensions III, and… ALLEGEDLY, a good Bubsy game. Has Fabraz actually turned chicken*expletive deleted* into chicken salad? We’ll find out once Willem gets home from BitSummit.

For Switch OG, we have Farming Simulator 26 in a rare example of an artisanally, hand crafted simulator (as opposed to the double-digit number of AI generated ones).

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: The Archives doubleheader was Mr. Do for the Archives and… do we need to start giving the “is this game playable in English” test? Because the Console Archives added PS1-era strategy RPG Master of Monsters: Disciples of Gaia.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: It’s a scrolling shooter, so keep out of the instructions and you’re set.
