Nintendo Downloads – April 9, 2026 – News

Get your Incineroar and Amoongus ready because we’re going to be dealing with the Society of Battle Connoisseurs this week with the release of Pokemon Champions, a game that might qualify me for my first Worlds in 2027 (assuming the tourney isn’t in gestures wildly since I won’t be able to enter the country). In Pokemon side story news, Colosseum and XD developes Genius Sonority are bringing The Denpa Men (F2P version) for the Switch 2, and “People of Note” is an RPG from Annapurna (version unknown) which bills itself as an RPG musical.

For the Switch, a busy yet quiet week apart from Champions (47 games), though WayForward is getting into the scrolling shooter realm with Sigma Star Saga DX.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: Content Warning from Landfall (and Haste from the same dev), with the Legacy of Kain duology announced in Sony’s last Direct-like substance also dropped. The Archives title was SNK returning with Master of Syougi… a shogi game. Not even CLOSE to translated.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: It’s a sequel where the original was a “hell no”, so it’s true for the sequel too.
