Hello fellow gamers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Roundup 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. Thankfully, at least one of the new releases is intriguing, and the sales are pretty decent too. I'll aim for some reviews tomorrow. Let's dive in!
Spotlight on New Releases
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 in a severely unfinished state, it's since been fully patched. Don't let early reviews fool you; this tactical RPG now offers a substantial ten-plus hour adventure. For eight bucks, it's a solid choice for fans of the genre.
Quack Jump ($3.99)
A straightforward platformer with 40 levels, Quack Jump keeps things interesting with varied gameplay mechanics. At four dollars, it's a fun, affordable option.
Underground Station ($7.90)
An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. Visually unassuming, but a welcome change of pace on a day filled with...less desirable offerings.
Sales Bonanza!
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Let's check those eShop inboxes! Limited Run Games has another sale, perfect for grabbing those unique titles. There's also a selection of deals from TROOOZE (only a few highlighted here) and Team17. Note that the Front Mission remakes sale is ending soon – a relatively rare discount, so act fast if interested.
