@Grumblevolcano Could see it. If Switch Mini is indeed releasing next month its likely being announced this month. Launching it with SMM2 makes a lot of sense.

May 7
Shakedown Hawaii
Puyo Puyo Champions May 9
For the King May 10
Saint’s Row The Third May 14
Sniper Elite v2 Remastered
Redout
Rock of Ages II: Bigger & Boulder May 16
Castlevania Collection May 21
Team Sonic Racing
Assassin’s Creed III Remastered
Assassin’s Creed III Liberation
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil HD
Resident Evil 4
Atelier Lulua: Scion of Arland
TT Isle of Man May 23
Wonder Boy Returns Remix May 28
Crystal Crisis
Lapis Labyrinth May 31
Pixark
Not too shabby. Still can’t touch April imo, which was one of my favorite months for Switch releases to date, but ... not bad. Idk what to do with May 21 though. For anyone claiming they wanted to see a new Mario Kart, Team Sonic Racing (and the upcoming Crash Team Racing) are a good alternative, and convince me I have no need of another cart racer any time soon after they release.
Beat the second boss in Onimusha Warlords today. Afterwards I backtracked to an earlier area to collect a health upgrade I'm able to access now, but will probably load up the save I made right after beating the boss and go back for it again, because I took an awful lot of unnecessary damage during the backtracking.
BTW, does anyone know how to shoot arrows in this game? I have the bow, and 40 arrows stocked up, but haven't figured out how to use them (I can equip the bow, but none of my attack buttons fire it, unless I'm missing something).
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
Thought this is pretty interesting. Although not switch specific. May is going to completely make my break my own rule of not playing more than 3 games at once. My for sure is castlevania collection, and resident evil origins. I'd like to get more trust me but ill be tapped out for sure. My maybes and may even have resident evil take a back seat is if cadence of hyrule drops this month. Shakedown looks like a definite grab when on sale or if I hit a lull.. so far I'm looking at $80-100 guaranteed in may. More than i spent all of the switchs lifespan. 🤑
@Ralizah I know i can't wait. I was bummed as hell when it got delayed. I just hope it gets wedged in a nice window where I have nothing to play at the time , although I'm not optimistic it will be.
@NintendoByNature LOL I expect to have no such window for the rest of this generation, at least. I'm heavily considering just skipping the next console gen entirely.
(who am I kidding? Even if I never get a PS5/NextBox, I'll still for sure be purchasing Nintendo's next console)
I usually juggle multiple games anyway, so I'll just squeeze it in somewhere. I'm in no rush to play it.
It'll be kind of surreal when the final Shovel Knight content comes out and as a result the last Wii U game update ever happens. I did check and the BotW Labo VR update that improved load times didn't come to Wii U.
@jak1one Is it just joycon drift? If so, I fixed mine with compressed air shot under the flaps of the joycon stick. Also, recalibrated it several times. Eventually, the drifting stopped.
@Grumblevolcano that update was quite switch-hardware specific, and the loading times in the wiiu version of the game were already faster than the switch version, so it's not like it needed the update to begin with.
Woo, DMC and Bayo on the same system? On the go? Yeah it's official, I need a second job just for the switch. This year has been insane for games for me to buy.

I'm a Dream Fighter. Perfume is Love, Perfume is Life.
Just picked up a Switch but didn't get any games due to money. But I am more than happy with the F2P offerings. Looking to pick up Smash, Diablo and Immortal Redneck, soon.
In all seriousness, how is DMC? I'm a huge fan of Bayonetta, so from what I've heard I'd probably enjoy DMC, right?
DMC, originator of the "stylish action" genre. Personally, I hold the Bayonetta series in higher regard. But the first DMC is a great game, if a little difficult. DMC2 wasn't as good as DMC1 since Hideki Kamiya moved over to direct the Viewtiful Joe series. And I've never played DMC3 or DMC4, although I've heard they're both better than DMC2.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,558 games (as of April 7th, 2026)
