Hello gaming enthusiasts, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Roundup for August 29th, 2024! Today's update brings a bumper crop of new game releases, forming the core of this Thursday's column. We'll also explore a substantial list of new sales. Let's dive into the gaming action!
The Famicom Detective Club returns after a long hiatus! This latest installment stays true to its predecessors, for better or worse. A fresh mystery awaits, presented in a style reminiscent of the recent Switch remakes. Can you crack the case of the latest serial killings? My review is coming soon.
Mikhail's comprehensive review provides an in-depth look at Gundam Breaker 4's gameplay and Switch performance. In short, you build and battle Gunplas. While the Switch version naturally lags behind others in performance, it's still a solid experience. Read Mikhail's insightful review for a complete picture.
Tengo Project continues its string of successful remakes. Following Wild Guns Reloaded, The Ninja Saviors, and Pocky & Rocky, they tackle an 8-bit classic. This differs more significantly from its source than their previous titles. However, fans of classic action-platformers will find much to enjoy. My review drops early next week.
A departure from the original Valfaris, this 2.5D side-scrolling shooter offers a different experience. While the genre shift may surprise some, it's a solid entry in its own right. My review is on its way.
I'll admit, I'm a little unsure about this one. The food visuals are stunning, but the gameplay remains a mystery. Is it about photography, exploration, or uncovering hidden elements? Perhaps Mikhail can shed some light on this unique title.
For monster truck enthusiasts, Monster Jam Showdown delivers. Featuring local and online multiplayer, various modes, and plenty of content, it's a decent option despite mixed reception on other platforms.
A potential remake of the original WitchSpring, this installment boasts improved visuals. While previously a budget-friendly alternative to Atelier games, its higher price point may give some pause.
An underwater exploration game with a fantastical horror twist. Investigate the disappearance of your crew in a dangerous, interconnected underwater world. Combat is involved. This title has gained positive feedback on other platforms.
A farming and action game with a unique premise: a vegan vampire rebelling against his father. While I'm currently fatigued by the genre, those with more enthusiasm might find it appealing.
A marble roller game with 70 stages and 80 marbles to collect. Features secret collectibles and challenges.
A kid-friendly firefighting game with 20 missions.
A hoverboarding cat slices and dices foes in this grotesque action game. The Switch version reportedly suffers from technical issues.
