Nintendo Update: August 14, 2025 (North America)

Alright, here goes nothin’. So, this week, I stumble upon the Nintendo eShop update, and boy, there’s some real neat stuff dropping — and not just for the shiny new Nintendo Switch 2, but the OG Switch too. Discounts galore, if that’s your jam, and who doesn’t love a bargain? Sometimes I check these deals just because, you know, FOMO.
