Hi there light readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for Might sixteenth, 2024. Heh, Lagwagon. It’s a Thursday at the moment, and meaning an entire bunch of video games obtained dumped onto the eShop. I’ll remind of us that I’m not overlaying each launch, however I imagine I’ve included a abstract of nearly each recreation value contemplating at the moment. Past that, we’ve simply obtained 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’ll want to find out about this one proper now, mates. One, it’s a Simogo recreation, so you realize it guidelines. Two, it’s a Simogo recreation, so you realize the much less you realize entering 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 Recollections: NEURODIVER ($14.99)
This return to the setting of 2064: Learn Solely Recollections tells an entire new story with an entire new solid. 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 appears fairly cool, and I think the various followers of the unique recreation could have a pleasant time right here, too.
eighth Millennium: Conflict In opposition to the Pagan Gods ($29.99)
Hm, actually going for it with that worth, 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 obscure. On the very least you may look ahead to some good ol’ monster-mashing in quite a lot of dungeons. Past that? I’ll depart 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 instances, to make certain. 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 buddy 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 depart 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 cook dinner with a jetpack, battling evil aliens that typically take the type of butts. Strolling butts. I imply, virtually 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 suppose the sport is value it. We’ll have a evaluation 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 essential matter in terms 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 method by means of every space and resolve the puzzles you’ll come throughout. The eating doesn’t look extremely fancy right here or something, but it surely appears to have lots of coronary heart put into it.
UNDEMON ($20.00)
A ghost named Luna is making an attempt to resolve the problems which might be tying her to the mortal airplane in order that she will be able to cross on, and he or she wants your assist. Use her talents, 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 all the time disguise. It appears attention-grabbing, however I haven’t had an opportunity to attempt it but so I’m probably not positive how properly it performs.
Pool Get together ($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 will! A number of recreation modes! Most likely fulfilling should you want one other social gathering recreation! However do you?
Web Technology ($14.99)
Delivered to us by the identical of us 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 phases you’ll unlock new strikes, and you’ll all the time 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 at any time when I see the phrase ‘arsenal’. I simply need to shorten the identify of this recreation to Dungeon Ar… you realize, that’s probably not related right here, is it? This type of jogs my memory of the issues we used to see on cell again within the day. Every flooring 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 should 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, of us. He’s standing in the course of some bizarre place, and an infinite 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, mates. 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 solution to have a good time ten years of Arcade Archives, if nothing else. However go just a little 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 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. Should you take pleasure in your shooters, decide it up.
Mutant Specific ($11.99)
A reasonably simple side-scrolling platformer, however I like to offer first-time publishers the advantage of the doubt. Your buddy Kiki is popping right into a fox, and it’s a must to pace by means of fifty-three ranges unfold throughout 4 areas to be able 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 essential 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 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 verify these lists and discover what grabs you.
