Hiya light readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for Might sixteenth, 2024. Heh, Lagwagon. It’s a Thursday at the moment, and meaning a complete bunch of video games acquired dumped onto the eShop. I’ll remind people that I’m not masking each launch, however I imagine I’ve included a abstract of nearly each recreation price contemplating at the moment. Past that, we’ve simply acquired the lists of recent gross sales and expiring reductions, however that’s loads. Let’s get into it!
Choose New Releases
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes ($24.99)
There are solely three issues you must find out about this one proper now, mates. One, it’s a Simogo recreation, so you recognize it guidelines. Two, it’s a Simogo recreation, so you recognize the much less you recognize stepping into, the higher. Three, our pal Mikhail gained the coin toss so he’s going to be reviewing this one for us. Do look ahead to that. And this recreation.
Learn Solely Reminiscences: NEURODIVER ($14.99)
This return to the setting of 2064: Learn Solely Reminiscences tells a complete new story with a complete new forged. You play as an esper named ES88, and your job is to trace down and seize Golden Butterfly, an entity that’s hiding in (and messing up) individuals’s recollections. With the assistance of your Neurodiver, you’ll gather clues and restore the broken recollections, pushing Golden Butterfly out of every topic. It seems fairly cool, and I believe the numerous followers of the unique recreation could have a pleasant time right here, too.
eighth Millennium: Warfare Towards the Pagan Gods ($29.99)
Hm, actually going for it with that value, aren’t we? This can be a top-down action-adventure recreation, and I actually can’t discover a lot information about it in any respect. Even its store description is kind of imprecise. On the very least you’ll be able to look ahead to some good ol’ monster-mashing in quite a lot of dungeons. Past that? I’ll go away it to some courageous soul on the market to take a punt on it. My finances is already overdrawn.
Monster Outbreak ($14.99)
Okay, it’s a only a tower protection recreation with crafting mechanics. Nothing we haven’t seen earlier than many instances, to make certain. However I just like the pixel artwork, so I’m together with it right here. That’s some first rate pixel artwork. You possibly can play with a good friend in native two-player co-op should you like. Is likely to be even higher that approach. This isn’t actually my style of alternative, so I’ll go away it there.
PO’ed: Definitive Version ($19.99)
Look, I do know this recreation got here out on quite a lot of platforms, however that is all the time going to be related to the 3DO for me. It’s a weird first-person shooter the place you play as a prepare dinner with a jetpack, battling evil aliens that typically take the type of butts. Strolling butts. I imply, nearly all butts stroll, however these are nothing however butts with legs. Nightdive Studios has put its typical stable effort in right here, no matter whether or not or not you assume the sport is price it. We’ll have a assessment quickly.
Erra: Exordium ($19.99)
Hey, it’s one other 2D action-adventure recreation. We’re seeing extra of those currently. I ponder if it’s simply the tides. Anyway, this one leans into Sumerian-Akkadian mythology, albeit through a Dieselpunk theme. You’re a scientist who has managed to outlive demise itself, and now you’re preventing again towards a military of uncontrollable mechanical creatures. The visuals are actually cool right here, and that’s all the time an necessary matter in the case of this specific style.
Arcadia: Colony ($14.90)
An action-adventure recreation with a Misplaced Vikings/Trine-style a number of character set-up. Airi the bunny, Enji the porcupine, and Tazpo the mole workforce as much as save their world from an invasion by the Folks of the Sky. You’ll have to make use of every of their distinctive talents to make your approach by way of every space and remedy the puzzles you’ll come throughout. The eating doesn’t look extremely fancy right here or something, however it appears to have a number of coronary heart put into it.
UNDEMON ($20.00)
A ghost named Luna is attempting to resolve the problems which might be tying her to the mortal aircraft in order that she will move on, and she or he wants your assist. Use her talents, gather souls to power-up (is that okay?), and attempt to sniff out the important thing in every stage to maneuver ahead. When all else fails, you’ll be able to all the time conceal. It seems attention-grabbing, however I haven’t had an opportunity to attempt it but so I’m probably not positive how effectively it performs.
Pool Occasion ($19.99)
It’s a celebration recreation! For as much as 4 gamers! Native solely! Everybody’s a pool ball for some motive! We discover our differentiating advertising and marketing factors the place we are able to! A number of recreation modes! Most likely pleasurable should you want one other get together recreation! However do you?
Web Technology ($14.99)
Dropped at us by the identical people who launched the Smashing The Battle video games, that is one other motion recreation with a colourful, foolish vibe to it. You’re a brand new member of the Metaverse, a spot the place corrupt moderators rule the roost and rubbish data waits round each nook. And also you… should smash it! Smash all of it. As you clear phases you’ll unlock new strikes, and you’ll all the time choose up some gadgets should you want an extra leg-up. This doesn’t look any deeper than the Smashing The Battle collection, however hey, there’s an viewers for senseless motion.
Dungeon Arsenal ($6.99)
I’m such a toddler at any time when I see the phrase ‘arsenal’. I simply wish to shorten the identify of this recreation to Dungeon Ar… you recognize, that’s probably not related right here, is it? This sort of jogs my memory of the issues we used to see on cell again within the day. Every ground of the dungeon is made up of a bunch of playing cards, and also you flip them over to disclose weapons, gadgets, and monsters. Nothing too wild about it, however I do know it’s going to scratch an itch for a few of you so right here it’s.
Musashi vs Cthulhu ($4.99)
The well-known warrior Musashi is in an actual bind this time, people. He’s standing in the midst of some bizarre place, and an countless provide of unspeakable horrors are attacking him from all angles. He has to fend them off through the use of his katana to assault their weak factors, however how lengthy can he maintain out? That one is as much as you, mates. Extra of a rating assault affair than anything. I’ll be reviewing this one, in all probability early subsequent week.
Arcade Archives F/A ($7.99)
Okay, sure, that is one other vertical shooter for the Arcade Archives line. An acceptable approach to have a good time ten years of Arcade Archives, if nothing else. However go a little bit deeper and also you’ll see this can be a very particular launch certainly, as Namco’s F/A (Fighter & Attacker) hasn’t seen a house launch prior to now. This can be a 1992 launch, and it’s maybe finest recognized for its wild techno soundtrack composed by Shinji Hosoe (Ridge Racer) and Takayuki Aihara (Drakengard). Gameplay-wise it’s pretty typical of Namco’s vertical shooter fare, with aerial and floor assaults accessible. The music definitely elevates it. In the event you take pleasure in your shooters, choose it up.
Mutant Categorical ($11.99)
A fairly easy side-scrolling platformer, however I like to present first-time publishers the good thing about the doubt. Your good friend Kiki is popping right into a fox, and it’s important to pace by way of fifty-three ranges unfold throughout 4 areas to be able to forestall that. You’re delivering mysterious packages, and you’re being timed. Go too gradual and also you’ll meet a foul ending. Appears cute, and it’s an earnest effort, on the very least.
Gross sales
(North American eShop, US Costs)
There are a few necessary issues to level out in at the moment’s inbox. First, there’s an Arcade Archives sale occurring. As ever, these video games are very prone to solely be on sale as soon as. Get them now should you assume you’ll ever need them. Second, Minecraft is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary with some gross sales, and in the case of the primary recreation that could be a very uncommon factor certainly. There are another goodies there and within the outbox (shooter followers, get Rolling Gunner should you don’t have it already), however I’ll allow you to test these lists and discover what grabs you.
