Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 10th, 2020. When I went to bed last night, I had no idea what I would wake up to. Were it not for COVID-19, today would have been the first day of E3 2020. The show has been canceled, but as a consolation prize we’ve got an absolutely enormous sale full of great games. I’ve picked a nice selection of the lot to get your mouth watering, and threw a bit of news on top for seasoning. Let’s check it out!

Physical Version of ‘CrossCode’ Coming August 28th
Yesterday we got word that CrossCode would be launching in Japan on July 9th, with a release in the rest of the world around that date seeming very likely. And so it is, as the digital version of CrossCode will hit the eShop worldwide on July 9th. But today we’ve also got news about the physical version of the game, which is being handled by Strictly Limited Games. It will be available on August 28th, and it comes in a couple of fancy versions. Head on over to their website to get all of the details on this release and others.
The Latest Smash Event Celebrates the Aughts
Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man and Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean. The rise of Reality TV and the fall of the SEGA Dreamcast. Nintendo brought to its knees and then rising to the heavens. A lot of stuff happened from 2000 to 2009, and the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate event tips its hat to the decade with a tournament featuring characters from those years. The event kicks off, as usual, on Friday and will run for three days through the weekend.
Sales
(North American eShop, US Prices)
E3 may have been canceled, but the usual sales that accompany E3 sure haven’t been. Indeed, I woke up this morning to see that approximately 700 new discounts were available on the eShop. I love you all, but I don’t “spend my day typing out a list of 700 games" love you, if you catch my drift. So instead, I’ve done some curating. Note that if you see one game from a particular company or series on here, there’s a good chance more of their games are also on sale, so feel free to investigate their shop page. May the gods have mercy on all of our wallets and SD cards.

That’s all for today, friends. I’ll be back tomorrow with summaries of all of the latest releases that are set to hit the eShop, and whatever new sales come along will be included as well. That’s probably all we’ll have time for, but hey, more time to play games. I hope you all have a good Wednesday, and as always, thanks for reading!
