Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 12th, 2024. Wow, this is one mighty quiet Wednesday. A tiny number of new sales. A couple new releases. Ol’ Shaun doesn’t have any reviews ready to go, and neither does our pal Mikhail. While there is some news, none of it is really breaking the Shaun threshold for this kind of article. So we’re just going to push ahead with what we have, comforted by the knowledge that some kind of Direct is likely coming in the next week or two. Let’s dig in to what’s here!
It’s a tower defense game set across six different time periods, all done up in a cartoony style. Play alone or with a friend in local multiplayer. That really isn’t enough to fill out a description, is it? But there isn’t much else to say about it. Looking around at what little feedback I can see about this on the internet, it seems like it has a lot of resource gathering, making it more of a mash-up of tower defense and parts of Don’t Starve. Well, do with it what you will.
I feel like it’s always a struggle to an extent for games like this to find a place among the Pinball FX and Zaccaria Pinballs of the Switch library, but I suppose it’s worth a shot. This is a mission-based pinball game, one with twenty-eight tables to play. There are also thirty mini-games in case you get tired of the story mode, and unlockable cosmetics you can affix to the titular trash panda. It certainly has the volume, so if you’re interested by the idea of a slightly more video game-ish take on pinball, this might be worth looking into.

Phew, that’s… not helping me extend this article, is it? Four sales in the inbox worth caring about, and while I will never look down on a deal for Cook, Serve, Delicious!, it’s not exactly a bold selection to consider. And then over in the outbox… also not a whole lot. Paranormasight, Regency Solitaire, and even the Double Dragon & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle are all worth thinking about, but we’ve seen them on sale before and we’ll see them again. Have a look over both “lists" and see for yourself, I suppose.

That’s all for today, friends. Tomorrow is Thursday, so things should be a little bit busier around here. Several new releases, at the bare minimum. Perhaps some news. Likely some sales. Should be a good time. I’m feeling a bit under the weather, but I’m holding together. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday, and as always, thanks for reading!
