SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘Fragrant Story & Papaya’s Path’, Plus Today’s Other Releases and Sales
Hello, readers! Welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024. This week's roundup is a bit shorter than usual. I'm juggling other projects, so there are no reviews today. However, we'll cover some new releases and the latest sales. Let's dive in!
New Game Releases
Fragrant Story and Papaya's Path ($7.99)
Fragrant Story, a late Nintendo 3DS title, initially caused confusion due to its unexpectedly short playtime. However, this version includes updates, transforming it into a much more substantial tactical RPG experience lasting over ten hours. A solid eight-dollar purchase for fans of the genre.
Quack Jump ($3.99)
A straightforward but enjoyable platformer. Its 40 levels offer varied gameplay thanks to new mechanics introduced throughout. A fun, affordable title at four dollars.
Underground Station ($7.90)
An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. The visuals may not be flashy, but it provides a decent alternative on a day with less exciting releases.
Sales Spotlight
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Let's look at the sales. Limited Run Games has another sale, offering deals on unique titles. Several TROOOZE games and some Team 17 titles are also discounted. Note that the sale on the Front Mission remakes is ending soon.
