Arcade Roundup: Fragrant and Papaya Arrive Alongside Sales

Hello, gaming enthusiasts! Welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024. Today's update is a bit lighter than usual; I'm juggling other projects, so reviews are on hold. However, we've got some new releases to explore, plus the usual sales updates. Let's dive in!

New Game Releases

Fragrant Story and Papaya's Path ($7.99)

Let's clear up the mystery surrounding Fragrant Story, a purported final Nintendo 3DS title. Initially released as a disappointingly short experience, it received substantial updates, transforming into a much more complete tactical RPG. This version includes those updates, offering a solid ten-plus hour adventure for eight bucks—a worthwhile purchase for fans of the genre.

Quack Jump ($3.99)

A straightforward platformer with 40 levels and evolving gameplay mechanics. At four dollars, it provides decent entertainment value.

Underground Station ($7.90)

An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. It might not be visually stunning, but it's a solid option for today's lineup.

Sales

(North American eShop, US Prices)

Let's check the sales! Limited Run Games has another sale, great for completing your collection of their unique titles. Several TROOOZE titles are discounted (only a few listed here), along with some Team 17 games. Note that the sale on the Front Mission remakes is ending soon; if you're interested, grab them now as discounts are infrequent.
