Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for December 15th, 2023. It’s the last day before the weekend, and that means we have to mop up the remaining releases of the week. As you might expect this close to Christmas, we’re not exactly swimming in banner titles today. Still some decent ones, though. We’ve also got a little news for you to snack on, plus the usual lists of new and outgoing sales. Plenty of new sales today, by the looks of it. Let’s get to the games!
News
The ‘Super Mario Bros. Wonder’ Event in ‘Tetris 99’ Is On Now
The final Maximus Cup event of 2023 for Tetris 99 officially kicked off today. The subject this time is Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and the accompanying theme for it is pretty cool. A little distracting, but cool. As usual, you’ll earn event points by playing while the event is on, with the number of points corresponding to how high you rank. If you earn one hundred event points before the event finishes, you’ll get to keep the theme and use it whenever you like. The event runs through the end of this weekend, so don’t wait around too long to get it done if you want the theme.
New Releases
Hirilun ($9.99)
This is a first-person platformer with a distinctive style to its visuals. Each stage offers multiple routes, and your best times are saved so that you can try to outdo them on your next go around. Some power-ups add a bit of extra something-something to the fun. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, so I can’t say if it’s as good as it looks, but I will concede that it does look rather nice.
Piyokoro ($8.99)
Oh hey, this is a cute one. You have these little round birds, and you have to roll them to the goal using various platforms and blocks. It sort of, extremely vaguely, reminds me of Kirby Canvas Curse, and that’s a good thing to be reminding me of. You an also make your own stages, if that’s a thing you like to do. Yes, this seems perfectly nice for what it is. Puzzle fans could do worse today, for sure.
All of Us Are Dead ($19.99)
A visual novel based on a webcomic series that was popular enough to have a live-action drama made of it. A bunch of students are trapped in their school after a zombie virus breaks out and turns their friends and teachers into the living undead. Make your choices and try to keep everyone alive. I’ve been over this kind of premise for more than a decade now, but if you still can’t get enough of zombies and enjoy visual novels, here you go.
Japan Train Models – JR West Edition ($13.99)
Like the previously released JR East Edition, this isn’t really a game so much as a virtual toy set of sorts. You can make little scenes and what-not using officially licensed Japan Rail trains and various other parts. This isn’t for me, but it’s definitely for someone.
Reef Escape ($14.99)
You play as a little worm in a bubble who is trying to escape from the reef it fell into after getting out of a fisherman’s bait can. Avoid the obstacles, search for secrets, and see if you can make it through without being eaten. This doesn’t look terribly fancy for the price, but that’s just my feeling.
Sakura Agent ($9.99)
Another Sakura visual novel, and I imagine we all know what to expect by now. The theme this time is that the cute ladies are secret agents, and there are some extra-dimensional forces attacking our world. I don’t know. Make choices, get smooches. Maybe save everyone? Your call.
The Bin Bunch
Stickman’s Arena ($4.99)
Poly Shooting Simulator ($7.99)
Never Be Afraid Slam Dunk ($19.99)
Sales
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Lots of indies on sale today, and there are many more besides what I’ve put here. Head on to the eShop and see if anything from your Wish List is on sale, or sift through this list for some goodies. There is practically nothing in the outbox, so you don’t have to worry too much there.
