Hello fellow gamers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024! This week's update is a bit lighter than usual; my schedule is packed, so reviews are on hold for today. However, we've got a few new releases to explore, plus the usual sales updates. At least one of the new games looks promising, and the sales are pretty decent too. Reviews will hopefully resume tomorrow. Let's dive in!
New Game Highlights
Fragrant Story and Papaya's Path ($7.99)
Fragrant Story, a late-stage Nintendo 3DS title, has a bit of a checkered past. Initially released as a significantly incomplete experience, it was later patched to its intended length. This version includes all updates, offering a solid tactical RPG experience for a reasonable price. Don't let early reviews fool you – this is a much more substantial game than it initially appeared.
Quack Jump ($3.99)
A straightforward platformer with 40 levels and evolving gameplay mechanics. A fun, budget-friendly option.
Underground Station ($7.90)
An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. It might not be visually stunning, but it's a solid option for today's selection.
Sales Spotlight
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Let's check out the current sales. Limited Run Games has another sale, offering some unique titles. Several TROOOZE games are discounted (only a few listed here), along with some Team 17 offerings. The recent Front Mission remake sale is ending soon, so act fast if you want to add them to your collection.
