Nintendo has just announced the latest lineup of downloadable titles and retail releases for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 users across Europe for the week of October 2, 2025.

This update, available through the Nintendo eShop, introduces a mix of widely anticipated remasters, fresh indie experiences, and new entries from beloved franchises.

The highlights include the celebrated tactical RPG Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, the imaginative LEGO Party, and the critically acclaimed Super Mario Galaxy series—all making an impactful return or debut on modern Nintendo hardware. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, developed by Square Enix, headlines both Switch retail and Switch 2 download platforms this week.

This enhanced edition brings updated visuals and gameplay refinements to the classic tactical RPG, inviting both new players and series veterans to experience the strategic depth and intricate storytelling that defined the original release.

Square Enix representatives have emphasized their commitment to preserving the core elements that made the title a genre-defining success while integrating features tailored to the Nintendo Switch audience. Accompanying this major release, Nintendo introduces a double dose of nostalgia with Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, as well as a combined package featuring both acclaimed 3D platformers.

Originally developed for the Wii, these titles have been praised for their imaginative level design and innovative gravity-based mechanics.

Their arrival on Nintendo Switch marks a significant milestone, offering a new generation of players the chance to experience one of the highest-rated eras in Super Mario history.

According to Nintendo, these releases have been optimized for the hardware, providing improved visuals and streamlined controls for handheld and docked play. This week's European Nintendo eShop update also features a diverse lineup of digital exclusives.

Notable indie arrivals include Buildest, a creative building simulator; Candy Rangers and Candy Trail, lighthearted arcade adventures; and Dream Trials, an immersive puzzle-platformer.

For retro gaming fans, Eggconsole Aramo MSX delivers classic titles from the MSX ecosystem to modern audiences.

Meanwhile, narrative-driven experiences such as Shujinkou and The Ancient Magus’ Bride: Midsummer Pilgrimage provide unique, story-rich content for players seeking something different. LEGO Party, also debuting at retail for Nintendo Switch, introduces party mini-games and creative building activities tailored for all ages.

With LEGO’s well-known blend of humor and intuitiveness, the title stands out as a family-friendly addition to October’s releases. With these updates, Nintendo continues its tradition of offering a broad and diverse selection of games that appeal to every type of player.

The expansion of classic franchises, the revival of beloved RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics, and a consistent flow of original indie titles reinforce the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 as must-have platforms for gaming enthusiasts in Europe this fall.
