New Releases
Splatoon 3 ($59.99)
SwitchArcade Spotlight!
Keep in mind in Disney’s Mulan when Emperor Miyagi stated “the flower that blooms in adversity is essentially the most uncommon and exquisite of all of them”? That’s how I see Splatoon. It took the lemons of the Wii U’s market failure and someway made lemonade. Splatoon 2 was there early on within the Change’s life and has been a pillar of its library. Splatoon 3 steps into a special form of context. The Change is a mature system and its set up base is huge, however there may be additionally extra competitors on this class now. By all accounts, that is extra of an evolution than a revolution, however maybe that will likely be sufficient for the numerous followers of the franchise. We’ll hopefully have a evaluation quickly.
Haiku, the Robotic ($19.99)
SwitchArcade Spotlight!
Haiku, the Robotic is a reasonably chill tackle the Metroidvania idea the place you play as a cute robotic making its method by way of a mechanical world full of rampant robots and machines. The reception to this recreation’s launch on PC again in April was positively stellar, with followers of Hole Knight specifically discovering appreciable reward for it. Which is fascinating to me, as a result of it’s positively a extra easy-going recreation than that one. Anyway, in case you just like the style and have twenty bucks in your pocket, that is in all probability one to get.
NBA 2K23 ($59.99)
It’s the newest NBA 2K recreation. There’s some form of new stuff involving a cruise liner, which is an odd flex for a basketball recreation. In any other case, you in all probability know kind of what to anticipate from this.
Catmaze ($9.99)
In fact, Haiku isn’t the one Metroidvania-style recreation hitting the eShop right now. For these in search of one thing a little bit extra modestly-priced, Catmaze follows a sorceress named Alesta as she discover the world of the useless. The world design is impressed by Slavic folklore and mythology, serving to the sport stand out in a moderately busy and aggressive style. I’ll have a evaluation of this one early subsequent week, however I’ve loved what I’ve performed to this point.
To Depart ($19.99)
Hm. So this recreation sees you making your method by way of eighty moderately difficult maps utilizing a flying door as a method of conveyance. It is rather, very straightforward to die. You’ll in all probability die quite a bit. No less than you’ll be able to benefit from the artwork fashion as you repeat sections. It’s inventive and well-realized. The story, which touches on themes of psychological sickness, isn’t fairly as stable. For those who don’t thoughts a imprecise narrative that you could be by no means finish of, there’s one thing there. Critiques had been middling on different platforms, with most of them mentioning the excessive degree of issue as a problem. One thing to contemplate earlier than you dive in.
Windmill Engine ($0.99)

Gross sales

Yooka-Laylee & the Unattainable Lair is the most cost effective it has ever been, and whereas the unique recreation may be very a lot hit-or-miss, Unattainable Lair is an excellent time. Kero Blaster is a unbelievable little run-and-gun, Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! is a cool tackle the traditional gamebooks, and Gnosia is a really well-made journey recreation. Nothing super-interesting within the weekend outbox, however take a look by way of each lists to see what catches your eye.
