This week's Japanese release calendar has a couple of headliners, per Gematsu's weekly roundup: the remake of Prinny Party: Going Overboard! and Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy.

The Prinny Party remake lands across a broad spread of platforms — PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Switch and PC — giving Nippon Ichi's exploding-penguin mascot one of the wider simultaneous launches on the week's docket.

The Pikmin 4 Switch 2 Edition, bundled with the Dandori Academy content, continues Nintendo's pattern of refreshing recent first-party hits for its newer hardware, a playbook the company has leaned on throughout the Switch 2's lineup build-out.

As usual, the weekly slate includes a longer tail of releases beyond the headliners. Japanese release weeks often preview what Western players will see localized in the months ahead, so importers and patient fans alike have reason to skim the full list.
