Hiya light readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for Might sixteenth, 2024. Heh, Lagwagon. It’s a Thursday at this time, and which means an entire bunch of video games bought dumped onto the eShop. I’ll remind people that I’m not protecting each launch, however I consider I’ve included a abstract of nearly each recreation value contemplating at this time. Past that, we’ve simply bought the lists of recent gross sales and expiring reductions, however that’s lots. Let’s get into it!
Choose New Releases
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes ($24.99)
There are solely three issues it is advisable find out about this one proper now, pals. One, it’s a Simogo recreation, so you already know it guidelines. Two, it’s a Simogo recreation, so you already know the much less you already know getting into, the higher. Three, our pal Mikhail received the coin toss so he’s going to be reviewing this one for us. Do sit up for that. And this recreation.
Learn Solely Recollections: NEURODIVER ($14.99)
This return to the setting of 2064: Learn Solely Recollections tells an entire new story with an entire 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) folks’s reminiscences. With the assistance of your Neurodiver, you’ll accumulate clues and restore the broken reminiscences, pushing Golden Butterfly out of every topic. It seems fairly cool, and I believe the various followers of the unique recreation can have a pleasant time right here, too.
eighth Millennium: Battle In opposition to 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 data about it in any respect. Even its store description is kind of imprecise. On the very least you may sit up for 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 funds 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 occasions, to make sure. However I just like the pixel artwork, so I’m together with it right here. That’s some respectable pixel artwork. You may play with a pal in native two-player co-op should you like. Is perhaps even higher that method. This isn’t actually my style of selection, 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 at all times 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 common stable effort in right here, no matter whether or not or not you suppose the sport is value 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 these days. 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 loss of life itself, and now you’re combating again in opposition to a military of uncontrollable mechanical creatures. The visuals are actually cool right here, and that’s at all times an vital matter in terms of this explicit 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 staff 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 skills to make your method by way of every space and clear up the puzzles you’ll come throughout. The eating doesn’t look extremely fancy right here or something, nevertheless it appears to have loads of coronary heart put into it.
UNDEMON ($20.00)
A ghost named Luna is attempting to resolve the problems which are tying her to the mortal aircraft in order that she will be able to go on, and she or he wants your assist. Use her skills, accumulate souls to power-up (is that okay?), and attempt to sniff out the important thing in every degree to maneuver ahead. When all else fails, you may at all times conceal. It seems fascinating, however I haven’t had an opportunity to strive it but so I’m not likely certain how nicely it performs.
Pool Celebration ($19.99)
It’s a celebration recreation! For as much as 4 gamers! Native solely! Everybody’s a pool ball for some cause! We discover our differentiating advertising factors the place we are able to! A number of recreation modes! In all probability pleasing 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 info waits round each nook. And also you… should smash it! Smash all of it. As you clear levels you’ll unlock new strikes, and you may at all times decide up some objects should you want a further leg-up. This doesn’t look any deeper than the Smashing The Battle sequence, however hey, there’s an viewers for senseless motion.
Dungeon Arsenal ($6.99)
I’m such a toddler each time I see the phrase ‘arsenal’. I simply wish to shorten the title of this recreation to Dungeon Ar… you already know, that’s not likely related right here, is it? This type of jogs my memory of the issues we used to see on cellular 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, objects, and monsters. Nothing too wild about it, however I do know it can 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 course of some bizarre place, and an limitless provide of unspeakable horrors are attacking him from all angles. He has to fend them off by utilizing his katana to assault their weak factors, however how lengthy can he maintain out? That one is as much as you, pals. Extra of a rating assault affair than the rest. I’ll be reviewing this one, most likely early subsequent week.
Arcade Archives F/A ($7.99)
Okay, sure, that is one other vertical shooter for the Arcade Archives line. An acceptable technique to have fun ten years of Arcade Archives, if nothing else. However go a little bit deeper and also you’ll see it is 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 identified 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 obtainable. The music definitely elevates it. If you happen to take pleasure in your shooters, decide it up.
Mutant Categorical ($11.99)
A somewhat simple side-scrolling platformer, however I like to present first-time publishers the good thing about the doubt. Your pal Kiki is popping right into a fox, and you need to pace by way of fifty-three ranges unfold throughout 4 areas with the intention to stop that. You’re delivering mysterious packages, and you might be being timed. Go too sluggish 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 vital issues to level out in at this time’s inbox. First, there’s an Arcade Archives sale happening. As ever, these video games are very more likely to solely be on sale as soon as. Get them now should you suppose you’ll ever need them. Second, Minecraft is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary with some gross sales, and in terms of the principle 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 examine these lists and discover what grabs you.
