Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the year 2024. In today’s thrilling New Year’s Day edition of the SwitchArcade Round-Up, we have… not a whole lot. But I had some spare time, and any trash I take out today is trash I don’t have to take out tomorrow. We do have one decent game to check out today, and we’re going to do just that. The Bin Bunch has plenty to offer today, as you might expect. We also have some decent sales to look at, and that’s one of the reasons I decided to put fingers to the keyboard today. Let’s get to it!
New Releases
Knights of the Rogue Dungeon ($9.99)
This game comes from Atooi, who you might know as the developer of Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter. More relevant to this game, it is also the developer of Totes the Goat, a Q*Bert homage that offered decent arcade action. Knights of the Rogue Dungeon looks a lot like that game, with the dungeons taking the form of Q*Bert-style pyramids. You have to “paint” all of the block surfaces by stepping on them, with combos earning you armor upgrades that help you defeat the enemies that litter each stage. There are different characters to use, six dungeons to explore, and numerous upgrades to earn. If you enjoyed Totes the Goat or are just looking for another game with vague similarities to Q*Bert, you might want to look into this.

Sales
(North American eShop, US Prices)
We see Taito/ININ sales fairly frequently, but there are a few games here that I want to call some attention to. Specifically, the Darius Cozmic Collections are at new low prices. At their normal prices these are a bit tough for a lot of folks to swallow, but you can now effectively get the full set for a combined total of just over thirty bucks. If you’re feeling fancy, you can grab G-Darius and Dariusburst to round out your Darius set and get away with a total cost not far off from Cozmic Collection Console‘s regular price. Other interesting sales: Yggdra Union with its best price since launch, No Man’s Sky matching its lowest, and Cannon Dancer being at the Arcade Archives-adjacent price it probably should have launched at. Over in the outbox, the Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection is finishing up its sale, and so is Kao the Kangaroo. Check both lists to see what grabs you.
