Nintendo Switch receives Onimusha 2 and a new Brazilian game

The countdown to the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, scheduled to take place on June 27, 2025, enters the final two weeks, but support for the current console remains strong with a considerable batch of new games. Between May 22 and 28, the spotlight goes to the classic Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, now with HD visuals, and the Brazilian game Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, an explicit homage to 2D Zelda titles.

The re-release of Onimusha 2, scheduled for May 23, marks the return of the CAPCOM franchise to the modern market with support for languages such as Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, among others. The game features enhanced visuals, controls adapted to contemporary standards, and the return of the Issen counter-attack system, in intense sword combat. The price in the Brazilian Nintendo eShop is R$ 146.50, and the title is led by Yagyu Jubei, on a journey in feudal Japan.

Another important release, especially for the Brazilian audience, is Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, arriving on May 28 for R$ 49.99, with a free demo version already available. Developed by the Brazilian studio PM Studios, the game combines action and adventure in pixel art style, with mechanics focused on the creative use of a magical yo-yo. The plot involves a corporate conspiracy, a soul-extracting megalaser, and four crime bosses — all with full support for the Portuguese language.

Other relevant titles also arrive this week. Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping, from HappyBroccoliGames, is a narrative adventure where the detective duck Eugene McQuacklin returns to solve a new mystery. The game is released on May 22 for R$ 29.69 in a debut promotion, but with limited support for German and English.

Also on the 22nd, the cult classic Cookie Clicker, from DashNet, arrives on the console — with a quite high price: R$ 299.90. The clicker simulator puts the player in charge of a massive cookie production, aided by grandmas, magic portals, and automated factories. The title supports over 10 languages, including Portuguese, and relies on repetition as the core gameplay, being considered by many a niche "idle" game.

Even in the final moments of the console's life, Nintendo and its partners continue to deliver variety — from revamped classics to experimental creations. However, expectations are increasingly focused on what the Switch 2 will bring. Until then, the catalog still holds surprises.
