Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for September 21st, 2021. Well, my medical procedure finished quicker and with fewer lasting effects than I anticipated. That means that I did in fact have time to put together a Round-Up for you all, albeit a somewhat more abbreviated one. Nevertheless, we still have some interesting news items to check out, along with a new release and the usual lists of new and expiring sales. Let’s go!
News
Switch Online Subscribers Can Try Out ‘Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town’
It’s been a little bit since the last game trial for North American Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. The latest one will begin tomorrow and run through next Tuesday. The game in question is none other than Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, the latest in the storied farming simulation series. This game had a bit of a rough launch but has seen a few patches to address a variety of issues. Basically, it’s a good time to check it out. If you decide you want to keep it, the game will be available at a discount for the next little while. Your progress in the trial version will carry over to the full game.
Swery’s ‘The Good Life’ Launches October 15th
The latest game from Swery, the mind behind the Deadly Premonition series, finally has a release date. The Good Life will launch on Nintendo Switch and other platforms October 15th, 2021. You play as a hot-shot New York photographer who has been invited to the small town of Rainy Woods to investigate its mysteries. There are a lot strange characters and sights, but the oddest thing about this town is what happens at night: everyone turns into cats and dogs! And you’re the latest victim of this affliction, so you’d better do some real detective work as a human, cat, or a dog to discover the truth. Beyond the mystery, there are also farming, cooking, and photography components to the game along with a variety of other activities. It looks promising, and we’ll soon know if it can live up to that potential.
The ‘Disney Classic Games Collection’ is Expanding
While details are still scarce on this one, it seems that a new version of Disney Classic Games: Aladdin & The Lion King will be released. Titled Disney Classic Games Collection, it features all of the games in the original package plus the Super NES, Genesis, and Game Boy versions of The Jungle Book and… Capcom’s Super NES version of Aladdin! Wow, that’s awesome. No word yet on the exact date this is releasing, but it looks to be hitting sometime in November. We also don’t know if owners of the existing version will have an upgrade path or not, but we’ll let you know when we know.
New Releases
Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All ($49.99)
Based on what I assume is a relatively popular TV series, Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All aims to make some improvements on its rather tepid predecessor. You get 26 drag vehicles, 5 challenge cars, 36 racing locations, and more than 250 parts you can use to customize your ride. Many of the stars of the show appear in this game, so it’s probably best suited to those who are already fans. No head-to-head racing with other players, but there are asynchronous multiplayer tournaments and some leaderboards to help you get that competitive rush.
Sales
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Hey, is that an XSEED sale? Those don’t come around too often. I don’t know whether or not any of you are interested in the likes of Senran Kagura or Fate/EXTELLA, but if you are? There likely won’t be another sale on them for a good while after this one wraps up. If you’re looking for some cheap fun, Dadish, Dadish 2, and Super Fowlst 2 are at some very low prices right now and will give you plenty of bang for your two bucks each. The outbox has a whole lot of games from Ratalaika in it, with plenty of fun treats and treasures to be found. Check those lists, as ever.

That’s all for today, friends. Today was a pretty rough one, but the results seem promising so far. Keep those fingers crossed for me, if you can. We’ll be back tomorrow with some new releases, a bit more news, some sales, and maybe even a review or two if I have some time. I hope you all have a great Tuesday, and as always, thanks for reading!
