Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 29th, 2024. Yes, I know. It’s Good Friday. One of those holiday things. Not here in
Japan, unfortunately. And if I’m going to be at the office anyway, I might as well keep on writing. Thus, I have all of the new releases of today for your consideration, and a curated list of sales from the massive Partner Showcase Sale that Nintendo kindly activated after I went home last night. Let’s finish the week! This one is a turn-based tactical roguelite whose main gimmick is that you can only move forward, not backward. There are a few different characters to use, each with their own skills, which gives the game even more replay value. It’s well-made for what it is, so if you’re looking for something affordable that will easily carry you through the holiday weekend, you might want to consider this. A color-based first-person puzzle game with twenty-six levels to play through. As is often the case in this kind of thing since the creation of , the setting is a research facility. An abandoned research facility, even. I’m sure that’s all fine. The game includes palette options for those who have visual impairments and a hint system in case you happen to get stuck on a particular puzzle. A horror adventure where you’re exploring a house that’s trying to kill you and your family. There are multiple endings in play, and they depend heavily on whether you choose to follow the path of light or darkness. This has been out on PC for a few years, and it enjoys a very sunny reputation among players over there. That’s about where I have to leave you on this game, since I’m a complete chicken. An AI has gone rogue, as they tend to, and is turning the population into zombies. Not a very creative AI, then. Three heroes and their dog will stand up for humanity and hopefully save the day before it’s too late. There are thirty stages spread across seven different areas, with some weapons and items you can scoop up to give yourself an edge. Seems like an amusing little run-and-gun platformer, as long as you come in with the appropriate expectations. A game for up to four players via local multiplayer where you need to serve coffee to customers. This… doesn’t look like terribly fancy dining to me,
Friends. Like a very rough spin on , to my eye. But I have not played it yet, so that’s really just my first impressions talking from watching some videos. Take it with the appropriate grain of salt. This is a party-style racing game for up to eight players via local multiplayer, with the main twist being that the leader of the race controls how the road unfurls. Their goal is to bring the road to the finish line, while the rest of the players chase after the unrolling road. A really unique idea, and one that I could see a lot of people enjoying at their multiplayer gaming nights. This is quite the interesting card game. It’s a village-building game where you need to stack cards on other cards to create interactions that will in turn help your village grow. Things get very chaotic and messy in a hurry as your village gets bigger and more complex, but I can’t deny that the game is both extremely engaging and quite a lot of fun. Definitely worth it for fans of strategy games. Our pal Mikhail is working on a review for this one so stay tuned for that. Yes, there is a huge sale on right now. Even going through and picking out some highlights, I still ended up with a large list for you. Our pal Mikhail just threw a Frisbee at my head with a note attached that says “Buy “, so maybe do that little thing if you’re so inclined. Beyond that, I encourage you to check through the lists and look at your own wishlist on the eShop as I’ve only scratched the surface here.
