SwitchArcade Roundup: Reviews featuring ‘Princess Peach: Showtime!’, plus today’s releases and sales

Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade recap for March 26, 2024. In today’s article, I even have a couple of more reviews so that you can enjoy. First of all, I liked it almost as much as I expected, if not for these exact reasons. Then I have a look at -like , which is one big flaw away from being pretty cool. Then we have now some latest things to examine out. Fortunately, not as stuffed with Bin Bunch as yesterday. Then it is time to sell. Let’s go to work!

Reviews and mini-views

Princess Peach: It’s show time! ($59.99)

was created by Good-Feel, and it’s such a very good Good-Feel game that I feel I probably could have guessed the creator even when I hadn’t been informed prematurely. The Hyogo-based company, founded by several former Konami employees, has worked with Nintendo since its inception in 2005. During this time, she created several games featuring Nintendo characters. , I . Like those games, it’s a reasonably laid back game that is relatively easy to get to the top, but has enough collectibles to maintain you replaying stages if you desire to complete them.

Peach goes to the theater to see a show, because it’s done, and gets trapped inside when some sour grapes determine to smash the stage. To save the day, he must dare to participate in each game and fend off the evil contained in it. He’ll tackle a special personality in each playthrough, and while the core gameplay here is the tried-and-true platforming, you will often be asked to do a variety of other things. Perhaps it’s essential to decorate a cake or perform a figure dance to the beat of music. You never quite know what’s going to occur next, and that is considered one of the strengths of this game.

Overall, every part the sport asks you to do is fun. It ends a little bit too quickly in case you determine to rush it, but I feel it isn’t removed from the right length considering the ideas it incorporates. Collecting all of the Sparks in each stage and finding all of the hidden secrets is an even bigger task, sometimes requiring careful searching and other times requiring considerable skill within the minigames. I discovered this to be a satisfying reason to replay levels, but not with the ability to skip cutscenes during repeat playthroughs is a bit annoying.

Presentation-wise, it looks and sounds pretty good. It’s not the smoothest or prettiest game on the console, however it’s dynamic and runs well enough. All of Peach’s costumes look really cool, and the unique characters created for the sport have an honest amount of charm. The game takes place in a theater where stages are actually on stages, giving the sport its distinctive personality, and the boss battles and sets are impressive. Peach is a fun heroine and it’s fun to see so many latest sides of her.

sometimes it feels a little bit too unfolded by itself, but the range of gameplay and the standard relaxing Good-Feel atmosphere make it an enjoyable game to unwind with over the course of a weekend or two. If you are not inquisitive about repeating stages to seek out hidden goodies, this game could also be a bit too short and breezy. The game also really needs an choice to skip long cutscenes when returning to previously cleared gameplay. Overall, it is a solid performance for gaming’s most famous princess, easily surpassing her debut as a Nintendo DS star. Let’s hope that is just the start of her adventures.

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5

Vault Stalker ($6.99)

When a game is as reasonably priced as this one, I’m generally less picky about whether it does every part right or not. And it doesn’t even have many major flaws apart from perhaps an enthusiastic homage. The core gameplay is enjoyable, you get a very good number of level themes, the boss battles are relatively well done, and the presentation kind of hits the mark. You even get a bonus version of the sport that is more in step with the primary spooky Game Boy adventure.

But there’s one thing I can not miss, even when I suppose the way it happened. It’s a difficult side-scrolling platformer that requires quite precise timing, especially on the subject of alternating jumps and attacks. Unfortunately, it decides to map its controls the alternative of convention, with jump assigned to B and attack assigned to A. If you’ve got any (or NES) muscle memory, that is an incredibly irritating situation. It also cannot be remapped in-game, so if you desire to change it, you’ll need to make use of the system-level remapping feature. I think what happened here is that on PC it was mapped based on the standard layout, however the reversed B and A positions on the Switch controller left it to us.

offers decent, low-cost thrills. You get a solid bang on your buck in the sport, with loads of stages to finish and some interesting additional modes to enjoy. Unfortunately, the sport’s lack of button mapping combined with the inverted default jumping and attack layout could make the sport very difficult in case you spend a couple of a long time simply mapping buttons. We hope the publisher will see fit to update this and add the choice to reassign control.

SwitchArcade Score: 3/5

New releases

Farming Simulator for Kids ($29.99)

Let’s take the concept and make it accessible to children and that is it. The presentation is aimed squarely at a younger audience, and with over ten crops to plant and harvest, several locations to explore, and a big number of things to do, this game might just hit the mark. I’m sure even the youngest will appreciate the indisputable fact that the sport also includes fully licensed John Deere tools and vehicles.

South Park: Snow Day! ($29.99)

I remember at one point the blokes said something about how they didn’t want more terrible games, so that they got more involved in the sport. Well… I suppose it was nice while it lasted, since it’s definitely a terrible game. This buggy, poorly conceived multiplayer motion game is not value thirty dollars, is not value 10GB of SD card space, and definitely is not value any of your time. A shameful burning of hard-earned goodwill.

The Shockman Collection, Vol. 1 ($10.99)

Technically speaking, that is only a bundle of the 2 already released re-releases of the Ratalaika Games game. I’m undecided why it isn’t only a bundle of those two existing apps, but I suppose it doesn’t really matter. This is a less expensive method to get each games if that is what you wish.

Restaurant Health Check Simulator: Sanitary Service ($12.99)

That’s all for today, friends. We’ll be back tomorrow with more news, more sales, and perhaps a couple of latest items if we’re lucky. I went to a friend’s celebration today, so I actually arrived on the office quite late. I haven’t got much time to do what I would like, but I’ll do my best. I hope you all have a beautiful Tuesday, and as all the time, thanks for reading!
