New Mobile Games and Sales for Your Gaming Arsenal

Hello fellow gamers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024! This week's update is a bit shorter than usual; I'm juggling some other projects, so reviews are on hold for today. But we've still got some new releases to cover, plus our regular sales lists. At least one of the new games looks promising, and the sales are pretty decent too. Hopefully, I'll have those reviews for you tomorrow. Let's dive into the highlights!

Featured New Releases

Fragrant Story and Papaya’s Path ($7.99)

Let's clear up the confusion surrounding Fragrant Story, a purported late-stage Nintendo 3DS title. Initially released in a surprisingly short form (around 20 minutes!), the game was later patched to its intended, much longer (10+ hours) gameplay experience. The rushed initial release was due to tight deadlines. This version includes all updates, making it a worthwhile $8 tactical RPG if you enjoy the genre.

Quack Jump ($3.99)

A straightforward platformer with 40 levels and some fun twists to keep things interesting. At $4, it's a decent, lighthearted diversion.

Underground Station ($7.90)

An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. It might not be visually stunning, but on a day filled with less desirable releases, it's a welcome addition.

Sales Spotlight

(North American eShop, US Prices)

Let's check the sales. Limited Run Games has another sale running, great news if you've missed any of their unique titles. Many of TROOOZE's games are discounted (only a few listed here), along with some Team 17 titles. Note that the sale on the Front Mission remakes is ending soon – a rare opportunity, so grab them if you're interested!
