Whats up mild readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for Might sixteenth, 2024. Heh, Lagwagon. It’s a Thursday in the present day, and which means an entire bunch of video games obtained dumped onto the eShop. I’ll remind of us that I’m now not overlaying each launch, however I consider I’ve included a abstract of nearly each recreation price contemplating in the present day. Past that, we’ve simply obtained the lists of latest gross sales and expiring reductions, however that’s a lot. Let’s get into it!
Choose New Releases
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes ($24.99)
There are solely three issues you could find out about this one proper now, mates. 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 entering into, the higher. Three, our pal Mikhail gained the coin toss so he’s going to be reviewing this one for us. Do stay 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 recollections. With the assistance of your Neurodiver, you’ll accumulate clues and restore the broken recollections, pushing Golden Butterfly out of every topic. It seems to be fairly cool, and I believe the various followers of the unique recreation could 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 worth, 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 sort of imprecise. On the very least you possibly can stay 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 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 buddy in native two-player co-op if you happen to like. May be even higher that manner. 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, virtually all butts stroll, however these are nothing however butts with legs. Nightdive Studios has put its standard stable effort in right here, no matter whether or not or not you assume the sport is price it. We’ll have a overview 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 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 all the time an essential 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 talents to make your manner by means of every space and clear up the puzzles you’ll come throughout. The eating doesn’t look extremely fancy right here or something, but it surely appears to have a number of coronary heart put into it.
UNDEMON ($20.00)
A ghost named Luna is making an attempt to resolve the problems which can be tying her to the mortal aircraft in order that she will be able to cross on, and she or he wants your assist. Use her talents, accumulate 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 possibly can all the time cover. It seems to be attention-grabbing, however I haven’t had an opportunity to strive 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 factors the place we will! A number of recreation modes! In all probability pleasurable if you happen to want one other get together recreation! However do you?
Web Era ($14.99)
Dropped at 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… must smash it! Smash all of it. As you clear levels you’ll unlock new strikes, and you’ll all the time decide up some gadgets if you happen to 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 already know, that’s probably not related right here, is it? This sort of jogs my memory of the issues we used to see on cellular 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, gadgets, 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 midst of some bizarre place, and an limitless 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 applicable approach to rejoice ten years of Arcade Archives, if nothing else. However go a 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 greatest 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 accessible. The music actually elevates it. For those who get pleasure from your shooters, decide it up.
Mutant Specific ($11.99)
A relatively simple side-scrolling platformer, however I like to present first-time publishers the advantage of the doubt. Your buddy Kiki is popping right into a fox, and you need to pace by means of fifty-three ranges unfold throughout 4 areas as a way to forestall that. You’re delivering mysterious packages, and you’re 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 in the present day’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 if you happen to assume you’ll ever need them. Second, Minecraft is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary with some gross sales, and in terms of the principle recreation that may be a very uncommon factor certainly. There are another goodies there and within the outbox (shooter followers, get Rolling Gunner if you happen to don’t have it already), however I’ll allow you to examine these lists and discover what grabs you.
