Nintendo Download Highlights: Little Nightmares III, Yooka-Replaylee, and More Hit Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 eShop

This week’s Nintendo Download brings an exciting array of new titles, classic releases, and special activities to both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, giving fans plenty to explore on the Nintendo eShop.

Whether diving into atmospheric adventures or revisiting nostalgic Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) favorites, there’s something for every type of gamer.

**Little Nightmares III Arrives on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2** Leading this week’s releases is "Little Nightmares III," the highly anticipated continuation of the critically acclaimed horror puzzle-platformer series from Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Players will guide two young protagonists, Low and Alone, as they navigate the sinister world of the Spiral.

The game’s single-player and co-op modes offer heart-racing sequences — from evading the ominous Monster Baby to escaping swarms of predatory Candy Weevils.

According to official materials, players should be prepared to “run, hide, or defend themselves at a moment’s notice” in order to survive.

"Little Nightmares III" launches October 10 for both Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2, promising an immersive experience for fans old and new. **Yooka-Replaylee Launches for Nintendo Switch 2** Fans of 3D platformers can celebrate the arrival of "Yooka-Replaylee," an enhanced and remastered edition of Playtonic’s beloved "Yooka-Laylee." This definitive version reimagines the vibrant worlds and collect-a-thon challenges with new features, including a redesigned map, a new in-game currency, and expanded customization options.

Available now exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2, players can once again join Yooka and Laylee on a grand collect-a-thon adventure that has never looked or sounded better. **Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classics for Nintendo Switch Online Members** Retro enthusiasts are in for a treat, as several classic SNES games launch on Nintendo Switch Online.

Notably, "Mario & Wario"—previously only released in Japan—now challenges players to guide Mario safely with unique mouse-like controls, either via a USB mouse or the new Joy-Con 2 controller.

The cult favorite "BUBSY in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind" and the legendary fighter "FATAL FURY SPECIAL," featuring a 15-character roster, also join the lineup.

Ryo Sakazaki from the "ART OF FIGHTING" series makes a special guest appearance in "FATAL FURY SPECIAL," offering veteran fighting game fans something extra to enjoy.

All titles are available now to Nintendo Switch Online members. **Pre-orders and Upcoming Launches** Nintendo has opened pre-orders for "Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment," set for release on November 6 for Nintendo Switch 2.

This action-packed adventure returns players to Ancient Hyrule, letting them join familiar faces like Princess Zelda and King Rauru against the formidable Demon King Ganondorf.

A diverse cast of new and legendary characters awaits, each bringing their own unique strengths to the battlefield. **Special Features: Nintendo Music and Activities** The launch of classic sheet music from both the original GameCube and Switch remake versions of "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" on Nintendo Music provides fans with a nostalgic opportunity to enjoy timeless tracks such as "Greetings from the Mushroom Kingdom" and "Rogueport." Meanwhile, the seasonal "No Tricks, All Treats" event runs through October 31, spotlighting themed game events and horror titles across both Switch platforms. **Additional Releases and eShop Highlights** This week’s eShop update is packed with fresh releases like "Arcade Archives 2 GEE BEE," "Disgaea 7 Complete" (available October 10), and indie standouts such as "Absolum," "Ball x PIT" (October 15), and "Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club" (October 10).

Players are encouraged to visit the Nintendo eShop for the full list of new deals and releases. With a robust lineup of new releases, classic additions, and engaging activities, Nintendo continues to deliver a dynamic gaming experience for Switch and Switch 2 users.

The company’s consistent support for both beloved franchises and indie gems demonstrates its commitment to entertaining its diverse player base each and every week.
