New Games and Sales Hit SwitchArcade Today

Author : Zoe Jan 27,2025

Hello gaming enthusiasts, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024! Today's update is a bit lighter than usual, as I'm juggling other projects. This means we'll skip the reviews today, focusing instead on some new releases and the ever-changing landscape of sales. However, at least one new title looks promising, and the sales are quite decent. Reviews will hopefully return tomorrow. Let's dive in!

New Game Releases

Fragrant Story and Papaya's Path ($7.99)

Fragrant Story, a late-arriving Nintendo 3DS title, has a bit of a checkered past. Initially released incomplete, it was later patched to its intended full length. This version includes all updates, offering a solid tactical RPG experience for its price point. Ignore any reviews mentioning its short length; that's a problem of the past.

Quack Jump ($3.99)

A straightforward platformer with 40 levels and evolving mechanics to maintain freshness. A fun, affordable option.

Underground Station ($7.90)

An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. It may lack visual flair, but it offers a change of pace.

Sales Spotlight

(North American eShop, US Prices)

Let's check the sales! Limited Run Games has another sale, great for those seeking their unique titles. Several TROOOZE games are discounted (only a few listed here), along with some Team17 offerings. Note that the sale on the Front Mission remakes is ending soon—a rare opportunity to grab these titles.
