SwitchArcade Roundup: Updates on Nintendo Switch Online retro games, plus today’s new releases, sales and news
Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade recap for April 12, 2024. In today’s article, we now have some news that motivates us. And it’s a very good thing we do, because it isn’t a powerful day in every other way. Some new stuff, but not excellent. Some sales, but not quite a bit. An unusual Friday, but I assume one which fit well into my schedule today. Today’s reading is light, but I believe it’s still enjoyable. Let’s end the week!
News
“Super R-Type” and more added to Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo is just going all out with the retro game collections which can be a part of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription. Sometimes there’s nothing new for weeks, sometimes Nintendo lets you realize weeks upfront about game releases, and sometimes we just get something out of nowhere. Today is certainly one of those last days. Three new treats within the Super NES app so that you can play: and . The last two games were previously released exclusively in Japan, but you possibly can play them even in case you do not know Japanese. Some fun decisions, that is needless to say. All it’s essential to do is update the app and you possibly can enjoy new games.
Library of Ruina Switch digital pre-orders can be found now
Arc System Works America and Project Moon have released a new trailer for his or her upcoming deck builder and have launched digital pre-orders for the sport on the Nintendo Switch eShop. This new console version of the library battle includes Japanese voice-over options not present in the unique version. The store page mentions lots of of hours of gameplay. I’ll see the way it seems so far as my review goes. Stay updated. Until then, you possibly can pre-order Library of Ruina on Switch $39.99 ahead of its April 25 Western release date.
New releases
Outer Terror ($9.99)
This wave of inspired games won’t go away anytime soon, right? Here’s one other one! It’s not excellent, but possibly the exploration elements will persuade you that it’s value trying out. Still, I am unable to imagine any reality where I’d recommend this over or , which can even put extra money in your pocket.
Survivors of King Krieg ($5.99)
Another generic copycat and one other one which makes the flawed decision dearer than the unique. It seems competent enough in case you’re looking forward to one other game of this sort, but don’t expect anything new or interesting.
Japanese Model Trains – JR Freight Edition ($9.99)
These have to be quite good for the publisher, because here’s the fourth one. This one focuses on Japanese Railways freight trains. As before, there is no such thing as a game here. It’s more of a digital model train set. Build dioramas, take a look at all angles of two licensed train types and so on. If this looks like a very good time to you, go ahead.
Glorious Savior ($14.99)
It’s time for KEMCO RPG and one other EXE-Create creation. If you may have any experience with this publisher’s work from recent years, you almost certainly know what you’re going to get here. In that sense it’s advantageous, but like many KEMCO titles, it really doesn’t feel like something you need to pay fifteen bucks for.
Cryptrio ($4.99)
A puzzle with falling blocks through which all of the pieces are monsters. You need to match three of the identical type to make them disappear, which is not a wierd idea for a game like this. An added attraction is that every one the monster pieces have their very own shapes that you’re going to need to cope with. And in fact you may also wish to put on some chains. Every now and then a boss will show up and cause trouble for you. Not bad for a really reasonable price.
Farmyard Haven ($5.29)
Another one which’s more of a rest exercise than any type of challenge, enables you to construct your farm just the best way you want. There aren’t any particular restrictions and you do not have to fret about hoarding resources or anything like that. There isn’t any technique to win or lose. Just start a farm. Then start over and create one other farm. It is so mechanically much like one other game from this publisher that whoever wrote the outline within the eShop forgot to vary the name. This is for you? I can’t let you know that. Ask your heart.
Bunch of Bins
Color Road ($4.99)
Park all of them! ($4.00)
Make it fly! ($4.00)
Exploration Adventures ($7.99)
Fight Club ($14.99)
Turnover
Well, it’s that type of day. Maybe you will find something good in your inbox, but nothing there excites me. The Weekend Outbox is way larger, so you’ll have a greater probability of finding something cool there. However, I’ll allow you to comb through it yourself. Well, one selection: . This is nice. The rest is in your hands.

That’s all for today and this week, friends. We’ll be back next week with more news, more sales, more reviews, and some new stuff. My trip to the hospital was uneventful, which is precisely how we wish these visits to go. I’ll need to return there in June, but that is the present schedule. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend, and as at all times, thanks for reading!
