Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 23rd, 2022. In today’s article, we’ve got four new releases to look at. They’re certainly an unusual assortment, and we’ve got summaries of each of them. Beyond that, things are pretty quiet. There are some new sales to check out, but not a whole bunch. The expiring sales have a few things worth considering, at least. Well, that’s how things go some days. Let’s get to what we’ve got!
New Releases
Thunder Kid: Hunt for the Robot Emperor ($7.99)
Here’s a behind-the-back 3D run-and-gun from the folks at eastasiasoft and Renegade Sector Games. It goes for a low-poly look and it certainly has a distinct style to it. Frankly, it looks a bit clunky but appealingly so? There’s a vibe to it that you don’t see in too many modern games but certainly existed at one point. The price is fairly reasonable if you want to roll the dice on it.
Chippy ($19.99)
This game has nothing to do with potatoes of any kind, I’m afraid. The chipping in question here refers to how you take down the many bosses in this shoot-em-up game. Your shots will take pixels off the bosses, and you’ll need to take them apart piece by piece. Shoot all the pixels securing a limb and it will blow off. Of course, the enemies won’t just sit there waiting to get chipped to death. They’ll be flinging curtains of bullets back at you, so you’ll have to avoid them while you do your work. You can also bring a friend along for some local co-op joy.
The Pizza Delivery Boy Who Saved the World ($5.99)
An odd one, this is. It’s a visual novel that uses real photographs of people and backgrounds, telling the tale of a pizza delivery guy who gets visited by a version of himself from the future who brings a dire warning. This was apparently written by a former pizza delivery person, so I expect those who have worked that job will find a lot to nod along with here. Even though the title spoils the outcome, you may feel the ridiculous journey is its own reward.
Bunny Memory ($2.10)
Flip over the cards and find matching pairs. We all know how to play this one. You get three types of cards: letters, numbers, and pictures. There are five levels of difficulty that will determine how many cards are used. I don’t know, maybe kids might like it.
Sales
(North American eShop, US Prices)
A short list of sales today, but there are a few good items in there. Gem Wizards Tactics is a steal at two bucks, and Down in Bermuda is probably worth a roll for that price as well. You can probably find more action in the outbox, with sales from Ubisoft, 17-Bit Games, Bandai Namco, and others coming to a close soon. Check both of those lists carefully as usual.
