Hello fellow gamers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024! Today's update is a bit lighter than usual, as I'm juggling some other projects. This means no reviews today, just a look at some new releases and the usual sales round-up. But hey, at least one of the new games looks pretty interesting, and the sales are decent too! I'll aim for some reviews tomorrow. Let's dive in!
New Releases Spotlight
Fragrant Story and Papaya's Path ($7.99)
Let's clear up the confusion surrounding Fragrant Story, a purported final Nintendo 3DS title. Initially released as a disappointingly short experience (around 20 minutes!), it was later patched to its intended length, now offering over ten hours of gameplay. This version includes all updates, making it a solid tactical RPG for the price if you're into the genre.
Quack Jump ($3.99)
A straightforward platformer with 40 levels and some fun twists to keep things interesting. A decent, 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 welcome alternative on a day filled with...less desirable titles.
Sales Bonanza!
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Let's check out the sales! Limited Run Games has another sale, great for grabbing those unique titles. There's also a selection of deals from TROOOZE (only a few highlighted here) and Team 17. Note that the sale on the Front Mission remakes ends soon – these are less frequently discounted, so grab them if you're interested!
