SwitchArcade Recap: “DROS,” “Deathchron,” Plus Today’s Other Releases, News, and Latest Sales
Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the July 12, 2024 SwitchArcade Round-Up. It’s the tip of one other week, and we’re not ending it with a bang. Three recent games today, all starting with the letter D by pure coincidence. A couple of recent retro Nintendo Switch Online games that nobody would have called before they got here out. And the wonderful, wonderful sales all of us like to spend money on. It’s a quiet method to end this Friday, but that’s greater than okay. Let’s get to the weekend!
News
‘Starfy’ Comes to Game Boy Advance App on Nintendo Switch Online
Another unexpected drop of games for the Nintendo Switch Online retro app, this time for the Game Boy Advance library with the Expansion Pack. What makes this game unusual is that it consists of three games which have never been released outside of Japan before. You may remember the Nintendo DS release called . Well, that wasn’t the primary game within the series, but somewhat the fifth. Now we will play the primary three games, albeit with no single word translated from the unique releases, on Nintendo Switch Online. The fourth is a Nintendo DS game, so… you’ll must wait for that. They’re not essentially the most story-driven things, but I admit it’s a bit odd that they were released in the shape they’re. Have fun exploring them!
Select recent releases
Deathchron ($4.99)
This game has some nice pixel art, that is all I’ll say. Anyway, side-scrolling action-platformer. Run, jump, shoot. I wish it played in addition to it looks, nevertheless it lives as much as the five-dollar platformer energy it exudes. It’s really rough, but you possibly can rejoice with it.
OVER ($24.99)
It’s Red.Deer, in order at all times, wait for a sale to bring the value right down to its intended sticker price. It’ll probably be up and running by the point you read this. Other than that, it’s a fairly fun puzzle/adventure game. You control two characters, each with their very own abilities, and work your way through forty levels of traps, puzzles, and enemies. New tricks are added as you go along to maintain the sport fresh.
Disaster Band ($9.99)
A silly little rhythm game for as much as 4 players via online multiplayer. You do not have to play together with the music, but you possibly can if you happen to want. You have the liberty to improvise as you see fit, creating your individual cacophony, because the sound actually matches what you are doing. Look, I do not know if this is nice, but it could actually be an excellent laugh if you happen to need it.
Turnover
If you should shoot zombies, you are in luck today. Rebellion games have never been cheaper on Switch, so pick them up if you happen to want them. You can also’t go incorrect with the puzzle games from Draknek & Friends, including the likes of and . I’ll at all times recommend these games, and I’ll accomplish that again here. The latest ININ sale is ending in Outbox. It includes some great Taito games and more, so test it out.

That’s all for today and this week, friends. We’ll be back next week with recent games, reviews, sales, and perhaps some news that can include the precise zeal. I finally finished that big project I’ve been spending my weekends on, so this time I’ll be a bit more lazy. I mean, I still have loads of reviews to do, but that is just the standard stuff. I hope you all have an exquisite weekend, and as at all times, thanks for reading!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is getting new photo mode options and a slew of bug fixes in the latest update
If you want Back With , there are some nice quality of life changes and bug fixes in the latest update that went survive November 21, 2024. I’ll break them down below to let you already know what you are getting into.
Photo mode updates
Photo mode now has filters! And if you happen to do not know where images go in Photo Mode, wonder no more: the file path is now displayed in-game when taking screenshots, and filenames are simplified (with the date appended). You can now also bind arrow keys to input mappings.
Gameplay changes
Gameplay-wise, you’ll be able to now compare the new rings to the currently equipped rings in the slot, and the description for the Flash option is barely different. Some weapons have new icons to make it easier to tell them apart and make it easier to see where your companion’s spells are.
Extended dodge won’t be weirdly buggy with Mage’s Tower either. Some ability texts have been modified to be clearer (and accurate), and Antaam Champions deal barely more damage (as intended) and cases where enemies and teammates would get stuck in inaccessible places. Speaking of fixes, this brings us to the bugs that Patch 3 goals to eliminate.
Bug fixes
All kinds of bug fixes are included, but not all of them can have obvious or significant effects. The overall focus is on fixing issues encountered during cutscenes, interacting with meshes and polygons, in addition to some extremely minor balance adjustments to get certain elements working as intended.
In more detail, Rook will not suddenly change body shape or make strange facial expressions during or after certain cutscenes. Other cutscene issues have also been fixed, including strange stretchy capes and clothes showing through the character. The patch also addresses situations where music randomly stopped playing or incorrect sound effects or songs were playing.
Camera popup and stutter issues have also been fixed, and preferred HDR settings will now (finally) be saved accurately.
Fixed issues with the Codex, skill trees, quests, merchant inventory, quest objectives and cinematics, exploration, autosave loading, really shiny visuals, stat buffs, and weapon modifiers.
As a little bonus, some of the characters and environment textures have been tweaked to look higher.
There’s plenty to do in Thedas, and with this update landing, your journey should go a little smoother. Go back there, Rook, and test out that photo mode for me.
Full patch notes will be found on the website official blog post. BioWare has confirmed that one other patch may even be coming, with more details to be revealed soon.

The anime Scott Pilgrim on Netflix will not receive a second season
series creator Bryan Lee O’Malley announced that Netflix adaptation of the favored series will not receive a second season, confirming what many fans already assumed.
Released on Netflix in November 2023, it’s an eight-episode animated series based on O’Malley’s best-selling graphic novels. The series does not directly follow the novel’s plot, but reunites the solid of the 2010 live-action adaptation to voice their film characters from the series. Kenneth Shepard called it “a hilarious combination of brilliant wit (franchise) and balanced pop culture references” Unfortunately, the series will not see a second season.
November 20on the one-year anniversary of the premiere, series creator O’Malley tweeted that it was an “honor” to “work with the entire cast and crew around the world” and called the series “a one-of-a-kind miracle.” ” The creator also confirmed that Netflix recently released the second season of the animated adaptation.
“In any case, we recently received information that the series will not return,” he added. O’Malley said. “As you know, we only planned one season and asked a lot of favors to make it happen, so doing more would be almost impossible. But I know some of you had no hope.”
“I’m sorry to all Matthew and Gideon fans, I know you will suffer the most.” O’Malley added later to the tweet confirming the knowledge that there will be no second season.
While some fans were upset concerning the Netflix series and the way far it strayed from the unique graphic novels, many others were joyful to see a recent story featuring these characters. For now, it looks like that is the tip of this chapter of the series, regardless that there was a post-credits scene in the ultimate episode of the series.

The new PS Portal update could be a game changer for Sony mobile devices
The latest update for Sony surprisingly good PlayStation Portal adds a feature that individuals have been expecting since before the hand-held gaming device was released last yr. Starting today, PS Plus subscribers can now stream certain PS5 games via the cloud on their devices PS portal without console.
A yr ago, we got here across the PS portal and while it looked weird, it felt great and was a great device that allowed people to play PS5 games anywhere of their home via Wi-Fi. The $200 device works like a charm and is quietly among the finest things Sony has produced in a while. However, one big drawback to Portal was that for some reason it couldn’t stream games from the cloud. You needed to have a PS5 console, and when using the Portal, the PS5 console would activate and play the game remotely. This meant that PS Portal was more of an add-on than a console. But that is changing today.
On November 19, PlayStation released its latest update for PS Portal, and while it adds some nice quality of life improvements to audio settings, the true news is that starting today, players can play select PS5 games via the cloud and without a console. Theoretically, you’ll be able to now play PS5 games on the go, assuming you’ve gotten a Wi-Fi connection.
Sony says that with today’s update, you may be capable of stream over 120 PS5 games from the PS Plus games catalog on PS Portal. Games include and
How to stream cloud games on PS Portal
To start streaming PS5 games to your computer PS portal without a console, you’ll need an lively PS Plus Premium subscription, then you’ll need to download the update and follow these steps:
- Open the “Quick Menu” and go to “Settings” in your PS Portal.
- Select the “Cloud Streaming (Beta)” button.
- Enable the Cloud Streaming (Beta) switch (it’s going to be disabled by default).
Right now, Sony is looking it a beta test and never all features just like the capture button and group chat will be supported for games streamed on the Portal. Similarly, Sony doesn’t currently support PS2, PS3, PS4 games or games purchased on PSN.
Hopefully, after testing and more updates, Sony will expand support and switch PS Portal into a nice PlayStation streaming box where you’ll be able to play all of the classic games added to the catalog every month, in addition to games you own. This will make me rush out and buy it PS portal.
