Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 13th, 2023. In today’s article, we’ve got a bit of news, a new release to look at, and a bunch of sales. Like, too many. The list today is ridiculously far from being comprehensive, but it’ll give you a taste before you head to the eShop. I wanted to have some reviews for you, but I went for lunch with a couple of friends instead. These things happen. Let’s roll with what we’ve got!
News
‘Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy’ Announced for Early 2024 Release
Kept you waiting, hunh? Wait, that’s another series. We’ve had the first three Ace Attorney games on the Switch for ages, and the excellent Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for a hot minute as well. I always figured the Apollo Justice era games would come sooner or later, and to be honest I expected it to be the former more than the latter. I suppose it doesn’t matter that much. The news: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is coming to Switch and other platforms in early 2024. It contains Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. I know. Look, despite the name it’s Apollo’s trilogy, and now even Capcom says so. Do look forward to it.
New Releases
Dordogne ($19.99)
A gorgeous narrative adventure that sees you traveling through the memories of Mimi, who is reflecting on her childhood memories of time spent with her late grandmother. All of the scenes look hand-painted, and they are excellent. Almost good enough to make you want to play the game all on their own. But don’t worry, there are puzzles here too. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you this, but this one is packed full of emotional drama. Be ready for water colors and water from your eyes.
Sales
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Okay, so. Around 1500 games or so have gone on sale in the last 24 hours. I cannot list them and therefore will not list them. Instead, here are a few batches of things I think you should give some attention to, and I’ll leave the rest to you and your wishlists.

That’s all for today, friends. We’ll be back tomorrow with more new games, more sales somehow, and maybe a review or two if I can get in the groove properly. I am full of garlic and sleepy now, so I will go address at least one of those two issues. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday, and as always, thanks for reading!
