Nintendo Download: Replant, Reload, Relax

It’s a big week for Nintendo players. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, Persona 3 Reload, Once Upon A KATAMARI all land on Switch/Switch2.

Plants vs. Zombies returns

Indeed, this week sees a few classic series’ making their way back with fresh releases. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted might be the biggest name among them, when all things are considered, and is out now for both the Switch and Switch 2. But that said, it’s far from alone. While the now-classic title likely still has a pretty big fanbase, so does Persona 3 Reload.

The newly dropped JRPG is actually a reimagining of the 2006 original, regorging that game. In it, players walk between the day and night, cultivating relationships with fellow students and battling against evil in the Dark Hour. If you’re a Persona 3 fan, and you have a Switch 2, it might be worth your time.

Not feeling either of those? This week also brings Once Upon A KATAMARI to life for the Switch, as well as PowerWash Simulator 2 for the Switch 2, Double Dragon Revive, Fast & Furious Arcade Edition, Reus 2, and a bunch more.
