Nintendo Download: Bring it to the Court

It’s time for some ball in this week’s Download, with NBA 2K25 and a host of other releases including WayForward’s Yars Rising.

Let’s ball

It’s once again basketball season, or it will be soon anyway, as 2K’s seminal b-ball series returns yet again for more on the court action. This year the Switch version tons of customization to compliment its MyCAREER, MyTEAM, MyLEAGUE, and Play Now modes, plus something completely new with Neighborhood. If you just can’t wait for the return of the sport and are dying to dig into some fresh action, NBA 2K25 is out as of today.

Again though, there’s more to this week’s Download. Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is a remastering of Miles Edgeworth’s courtroom adventures, packed up with both Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit. The latter is being presented in English for the first time too, so there’s something new for a good chunk of the world.

Want more? Well, Aero the Acro-Bat 2 arrives as well, plus the Sunsoft is Back! Retro Game Selection, and Yars Rising, WayForward’s re-exploration of the classic Atari series.
