Hey mild readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for Might thirtieth, 2023. I used to be busy with different issues at the moment, so I needed to bump one or two critiques to a different day. However I did handle to place one collectively for the 16-bit console model of Puzzle Bobble that got here out similtaneously the brand new sport, in order that’s what we’re beginning with. After that, there’s one new launch to take a look at. Only one. However it’s an attention-grabbing one, and it appears to have butts, in order that’s good. Lastly, these new and expiring gross sales lists. them, I hope you like them, they’re right here. Let’s get to it!
Critiques & Mini-Views
Puzzle Bobble / Bust-a-Transfer (16-Bit Console Model) ($7.99)
Okay, so yesterday I reviewed the newest sport within the Puzzle Bobble sequence, Puzzle Bobble Everybubble!. It’s a stable new entry with an excellent hook to it because of its cooperative multiplayer. In case you have buddies or household to play with and also you don’t thoughts the value, it’s an important pick-up. However perhaps you’re on a tighter price range. Perhaps you’re not so fascinated by co-op. Effectively, there’s some excellent news for you, my thrifty buddy: the Tremendous NES model of Puzzle Bobble was launched alongside the brand new sport for a really good worth.
“However Shaun,” I hear the imaginary voices cry out. “Why would I need the Tremendous NES model of this sport after I can purchase the NEOGEO model on Swap for a similar worth?” Legitimate query, my hallucination. The factor is, the Tremendous NES model is higher than the arcade authentic. It has seventy extra phases along with the unique thirty, culminating in an finish boss battle. It additionally provides a brand new Battle mode, plus a number of Particular Bubbles to spice issues up. Certain, you possibly can simply bounce to Puzzle Bobble 2 and reap the advantages of a few of this, however if you’d like the unique, that is the perfect one you will get on Swap.
The emulation has been dealt with by ININ’s standard go-to developer, Ratalaika. You’ll in all probability acknowledge the interface. You may choose between the Japanese and Western variations of the sport, although there isn’t any actual motive to go along with one over the opposite past the language. You additionally get all these good show choices, together with their stable CRT filter. What you don’t get, surprisingly sufficient, is any sort of save state choice. You’ll should go old-school right here and write your greatest scores on a serviette or one thing so that you don’t lose observe of them.
Puzzle Bobble is a enjoyable puzzle sport and it kind of hit its idea out of the park early on, which implies it’s nonetheless enjoyable to return to the early entries even at the moment. The Tremendous NES model may not be the definitive model of this sport, but it surely’s actually a step up from the NEOGEO choice provided by Hamster. The one factor holding this again is the curious lack of save states, which dampens the enjoyment of aiming for ever-higher scores and forces you to depend on passwords to make your manner by way of the entire phases in story mode.
SwitchArcade Rating: 4/5

Scorching deal of the day, should you don’t have it already and have thirty-three gigabytes of storage to spare, is Mortal Kombat 11 Final. 9 bucks will get you a big-pants combating sport stuffed with issues to distract you from the truth that Capcom won’t ever grace Swap with a Road Fighter previous the third. Aside from that, I don’t have any sturdy suggestions. Do what your coronary heart tells you. And your pockets. Don’t overlook to seek the advice of the pockets.
