Sure thing, let me dive in.

So, here’s the lowdown on Nintendo eShop this week, right? Fantasy Life i is FINALLY here. It’s like, we’ve been waiting forever, what with all the delays and teasers that were just enough to drive anyone bananas. Anyway, this one’s packed. Imagine taking on 14 life roles. Fourteen! I swear, it’s like they want us to get lost in it. Cross-play, town building — you name it, they’ve crammed it in there. I mean, how’s anyone supposed to find time for anything else?

Now, as for music, guess what? Nintendo’s giving Kid Icarus fans a treat. Classic tunes from back in the day are now on their streaming service. Why do these retro vibes always hit just right? Maybe it’s the nostalgia. Or maybe it’s just good music.

Oh, speaking of old-school, remember Killer Instinct Gold? Ah, the memories. If you’re all about retro fighting games, it’s on Nintendo Switch Online now. We actually chatted about it in last week’s podcast. I can still hear the announcer going nuts over a C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! Those were the days, huh?

Fast forward a bit — and would you believe it? Switch 2 is like a week away. Sneaked up on us, didn’t it? New pre-orders just went up too. Titles like Hitman, Kunitsu-Gami, and Survival Kids are calling out to be played. Something tells me June 5 is going to be all kinds of chaotic. Then again, crazy days are the best, aren’t they?

Oh, and don’t sleep on the new Switch 1 titles either. Stuff like Please, Don’t Touch the Artwork 2 is on our review list. While we’re all counting down to the Switch 2, what are YOU playing this week? Drop a line or something!

Ok, back to Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. Seriously, 14 roles? You can, like, grab any class whenever. Build towns, hop into the past — it’s like a time traveler’s sandbox. What more could we want, right? Up to four people can team up online. I mean, if anyone’s up for some co-op, sign me up.

Also, Killer Instinct Gold is here. Perfect excuse to flex those fighting skills, don’t you think? It’s like reliving the ’90s, only better. Just watch out for those Ultra Combos — they sneak up on you when you least expect it.

Diving into pre-orders quickly — Hitman World of Assassination is calling. Walk into any mission with all the stealth you can muster. Who doesn’t love a good puzzle wrapped in action? Releases June 5. And Kunitsu-Gami, which blends sword action with strategy, is dropping the same day. Talk about options. And Survival Kids? Classic adventure vibes. A storm, a hidden world — you know the deal. Pre-order if you’re feeling it.

In music land, Kid Icarus is being all angelic with its tracks available on Nintendo Music. Personally, I’m a sucker for those ethereal tunes. If you haven’t yet, give it a listen.

Alright, activities. That’s a thing, too. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment got some spotlight in “Creator’s Voice.” Not gonna lie, the battles look wild. The backstory, though? That’s the real hook. Each warrior in a crowd — brings its own drama.

And hey, if the alarms from the Animal Crossing update don’t wake you up, I’m not sure what will. Imagine opening your eyes and feeling like you’re on your island, palm trees swaying and all. Just download it, trust me.

Anyway, that’s a wrap. Or not. Thanks for sticking with this adventure through Nintendo week!
