Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the August 2, 2024 SwitchArcade Round-Up. In today’s article, we’re ending the week with a pleasant mixture of goodies to review. Our buddy Mikhail has a review so that you can review, filled with his usual technical details and version comparisons. Then, I’ll take you thru essentially the most interesting titles in today’s latest offerings. Then, we finish with our usual lists of recent and expiring sales for the day. Let’s get to it!
Reviews and mini-observations
ONE PIECE ODYSSEY DELUXE EDITION ($59.99)
Bandai Namco Entertainment is not any stranger to creating late-stage Switch ports of games, but the top results are inclined to vary in quality. We recently had the superb arrive port, and fast-forwarding to last week, ILCA’s RPG made its option to Switch with bundled DLC as . It’s certainly one of my favorite IP-based games, and while it never quite reached the heights of gameplay , I enjoyed it enough to play it on Steam Deck, Xbox, and PS5. I used to be curious to see how it will fare on Nintendo Switch, and the top result is superb.
If you have not played it yet, it is a turn-based RPG with an original story that tries hard to appeal to fans and newcomers alike. It almost succeeds in each respects, but overall it’s definitely a excellent anime RPG. I would not recommend it for those who’re completely latest to the series, but for those who just like the characters and have played the previous installments, it’s value your time, especially with all of the DLC included.
released last yr for $59.99 on PC and consoles, with a Deluxe Edition for $84.99. The Switch version costs $59.99 with a further costume set, making it an important value right off the bat. However, for those who’ve already played it, there’s nothing noteworthy about it that may justify buying it at full price unless you actually liked the sport and wish to play it again. I haven’t played much of the DLC before, so I’m checking it out here on Switch.
Visually, the team behind Switch has done a improbable job of creating sure the sport still looks good considering the hardware. Comparing the high-end console versions and even the Steam Deck version to the Switch highlights a variety of the cuts, but it surely’s still a very good port that maintains the aesthetic while still running well. The biggest cuts are in foliage, post-production, draw distances, and textures. The comparison screenshot highlights just how much of a difference even in performance mode on the Xbox Series X in comparison with the Switch.
Performance-wise, I used to be already playing at 30fps on Steam Deck with excellent graphics, so the 30fps goal wasn’t a difficulty on Switch. The biggest issues on Switch are the loading times. These stack up during exploration, combat, and heavy load in comparison with the way it handles on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
If you skipped the debut platforms, the Switch version with all of the included DLC is a straightforward suggestion for individuals who prefer it. The included DLC also makes it a greater value proposition. I enjoyed the sport before, but it surely was great to revisit it in a excellent conversion for Nintendo’s hybrid system. We need more ports like this, and from Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Goo World 2 ($29.99)
Sometimes sequels take sixteen years. That’s just the way in which it’s. And then you definately think they’re coming, but they need a number of more months. was an incredibly intelligent puzzle game that gained increasingly fans with each platform it was ported to. I believe it’s protected to say that a variety of people were waiting for it, and it looks like that wait is finally over. I have not had a probability to play it yet, however the concept is greater than solid enough to handle the puzzles of one other game, especially with a number of latest twists. The game supports multiplayer for as much as 4 players on a single system, in case you should go wild with others too.
Aero Acro-Bat ($5.99)
Look, there is a craving there. In the mascot platformer arms race that picked up steam within the 16-bit era, Sunsoft introduced what would change into the face of the corporate’s Western branch for a few years to return: . The game was obviously a hit, as a sequel and spin-off were soon to follow. This Ratalaika release gives you a Super NES port of the unique game in each the Japanese and North American versions. You get the same old Ratalaika options, however the extras are surprisingly extensive. I’ll be writing a review of that game soon, so stay tuned.
Broken Roads ($34.99)
It’s an RPG with an Australian setting, made by Australians. It’s not something you see… ever, and for that reason alone I believe this game has some value. At the identical time it’s totally unpolished. It tries to do lots greater than it seems able to, and in doing so you possibly can see the seams crumble almost in every single place. If you are a very forgiving gamer who has a powerful interest in trying something with a fresh theme, this is perhaps something for you. Otherwise, I’m unfortunately forced to recommend taking the less bumpy road.
Big Yagga: Woodboy ($15.99)
A wierd horror game based on the legend of Baba Yaga. You play as a picket boy who has to bring herbs to his mother, a reasonably normal task that’s interrupted when he runs into Baba Yaga. Things quickly get complicated, as you would possibly expect. It’s not my style, so I’ll leave it to you.
Cilla ($6.99)
Here’s a side-scrolling shooter with decent pixel art and somewhat bland gameplay. Considering how competitive the genre is on Switch, it’s hard to seek out a case for this game beyond exploring the beautiful backdrops. But I’m not the king of your piggy bank, so if you should play it, go for it.
The King and the Knight ($11.99)
It’s a fairly bare-bones homage to the Capcom series, a lot in order that I wasn’t going to incorporate it here until I noticed it had a four-player multiplayer feature. It’s pretty cool. It made me look closer and there is definitely more to it than I originally thought. Lots of enemies, a variety of stages for that form of thing, and an upgrade system with a variety of different pieces of apparatus to purchase and use. I’ll must look into it more, but it surely could possibly be good.
Turnover
If they are going to ban wars, let these… stay. Some great prices on previous Aspyr ports, perhaps to have fun a brand new release. is at a brand new low price, together with . All of those, plus a number of indies! There are some decent games within the weekend outbox, but nothing that probably won’t be on sale again soon. Check out each lists!

That’s all for today and this week, friends. We’ll be back next week with more news, more sales, more reviews, and a number of more tidbits. Honestly, I’m beginning to get sick of soups. I’ll be on a liquid weight loss plan for per week, as per doctor’s orders. Right now I’d throw all my games into the ocean for a cheeseburger. Well. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend, and as at all times, thanks for reading!
Usually in RPG, whenever you think “absolute ass beating swordwielder” in a video game, you imagine how Cecil with Auron Z, and even someone like Hulkenberg. What you normally don’t think is a tiny orphan that wins Mia Goth Soundalice Competition.

But don’t twist it when Rapier comes out, every thing that shouldn’t be a part of the trip Exceed their life expectancy. Maelle is a dissatisfied Five tool player and we are going to show you how you can start starting shit when it’s in your party.
Basic set
Maelle’s weapon is a fence rap; And you best consider that he knows how you can use it. Actually, whether it’s best to, because just about all its additional movements are essentially fence strategies hidden for changes in statistics. With just a number of exceptions to the late game and a number of unboundly fire skills The overwhelming majority of its ability to acquire skills involves causing severe physical injuries or using devilish shit for enemies to cause serious physical injuries. Even if she doesn’t cause damage, she has the power to make another person to success.
“Oh, ho ho”, you’ll be able to say, “but all these 1-3 hits and skills of fire. He still has his job, dealing with shields.” Au fucking contraire, monks, She has a skill called Breaking Rules, which shouldn’t be even terribly removed from her skills in her tree, which accurately annul the shields, irrespective of what number of enemy struck. Do that one Nevron with floating balls, and shooting them puts six shields on everyone on the pitch? Lights work. The game should literally provide you with a prompt that asks: “Do you really want to make the greatest mistake of your stupid life” if you happen to ever attempt to remove Maelle out of your party?
Special mechanic: attitude
But of course there is a real reason why you are here, i.e. invent how to effectively use the posture system. The key word is “effective” because it is extremely easy to catch there in offensive mode, wondering why Maelle just started tightening the leaf hitting the face in a rigid wind.
To be honest, the game explains its mechanics too quickly, so let’s get the bass again. Each maelle ability introduces it to one of four attitudes, each with its own benefits/disadvantages:
- Printableness: Where you start in every battle. No effects.
- Defensive attitude: Take less damage; Get 1 additional AP on each successful Dodge or Parry.
- Offensive attitude: Ask 50% more damage, but also use 50% more damage.
- Virtuous attitude: Ask 200% of damage.
Now, while the Maelle skill set can absolutely kill the field of enemies, you still have to think about it in the fence. Excessive extension can stab you, and at the same time being a turtle in a continuous defense does not do the trick. Meanwhile, The game actually encourages you to move further, giving you an additional AP every time. So thinking about what to put it in to provide you with the slightest sensitivity, and at the same time was as effective as it must be, is his trick, but there is great flexibility.
Of course, the dream is to get in virtuoso mode, in which Maelle becomes death, the destroyer of the worlds. But even then you get only two turns to cause the most damage from it, and your team may have different needs, as in the case of one of her skills that Shell provides, or if we say, they are all dead and you must use Phoenix Flame to make them all.
Recommended compilations/synergy
For most of the game, the only spontaneous damage to which Maelle will have access is all based on fire. You get void injuries. You wonder how it is played alone. And even then the fire is enough, especially The easiest way to introduce Maelle into the virtuoso mode is most of the time to burn the enemy and hit him quickly. Yes, it means that take it off the skillboard as soon as possible; It will be a refuge for most of the first half of the game.

So, of course, the maelle dish or her companions of the ability to fire to support her and take advantage of the constant burns will be a necessity. But even if you decide differently, Maelle has a lot of his own. He will start with Spark, who will complete the task, just know that you will have to quit a return to throw it, and will cost another to take a quick step. Fuck it, let someone else go on, at least until you receive a much more destructive skill of fire rain for her. Both are effective, although it is worth noting Spark will place Maelle in defense mode, the rain of fire ends with her in the offensive. Get ready for everything that will be next.
However, when it is virtuated, you must use the best you can, and at the beginning of the critical Burn Picto/Lumina (Critical Hit Chance increases by 25% on burning enemies) is a fairly easy place to start. It would be nice if one of your companions maybe Hit the sign Or defenseless to the victim, but the irony is that if the enemy is already burning, the first hit will remove the status. Watch out on the order of the game on the left side of the battle screen so that you can do it just in time, and Maelle will go as soon as the enemy has been touched.
Percee and Fleuret Fury are usually a death sentence for enemies, and because it will probably be the last thing that many smaller enemies see, Maelle can get a lot of use from dead energy energy (3 AP after killing the enemy). But if these two skills do not throw nevron out of misery, the Fury Fleureus will at least repeat virtuoso. The main problem is that the Fury Fleuret is expensive. Maintenance of Maelle with AP is crucial, but especially for A character like Lune Who is less useful in a fight, in which the elements are not so effective, it is worth having someone whom the main work is to maintain maelle juice if its Picos did not start to start.
However, after using it, the new task is to make sure that Maelle will be able to build a full AP belt again. And at the beginning it is not as easy as it seems. Picto, like an energizing pain (1 AP after damage), but this is an accurate defensive mode of the situation in which you can defend yourself well, making sure that it can hit and probably survive longer than her friends.
The leader of these rules, and our little swordsman will be an absolute threat to everything that threatens the expedition.
Clair Obsurn: Expedition 33 is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC.

We are actually almost 4 years from restless launch Making it the longest gap between latest entries within the history of a multiplayer franchise. But Electronic Arts guarantees that fans will not need to wonder what will occur next for the longer term much longer. It was published by March 2026, the publisher confirmed on Tuesday.
“Looking to the future, we are sure of our ability to perform a deep pipeline – leading this summer with a very expected disclosure, a key step in providing our next generation Blockbuster Entertainment,” said CEO Andrew Wilson today in a press release. In addition to the upcoming business card, he confirmed that the sport would be available this financial yr, a window that has grow to be way more open because it was pushed back to May 2026.
Wilson earlier suggested that Juggernaut Rockstar Games was a think about the account from the starting window. “We think that the game will be great and ready at this time, but if we approached this time frame and believed that it will not be a great window for us, we are looking at how it could be an alternative window that would give us the right time, energy and player’s acquisition, so that all that must be necessary.
Is it possible that now we see that the game arrives earlier than expected and goes to the head with the next autumn? And will we see the next stick to the current point of 70 USD or jump on Microsoft’s fashion and aim $ 80 with some other editions this holiday season? These will be some of the questions that EA faces when he tries to restore her former glory after a series of errors in recent entries.
So far the noise is positive. Players’ tests and ongoing leaks in the next are longtime fans, excited that the franchise can find its position again, and also return to their roots. It would be nice to have a back in a mixture for many players, even if the live service market is becoming more competitive than ever.

Tom Cruise promises the underwater sequence “Unlike any other” in the mission: Impossible – final settlement
From speeds to trains to flying motorcycles, Tom Cruise was still attempting to float with each subsequent movie bone breaking during the process. So what could he do to boost the bar? Well, hanging on the side of the plane again Apparently it isn’t the only thing. The aging Hollywood icon is now promising an underwater stuntman, unlike any fans.
“Since 1985 I have been studying and shot underwater sequences for over 40 years”, Cruise Posted on X on Monday. “We have always tried to move our creation of movies to a higher level. In this McQ movie and we saw the opportunity to create an underwater sequence as opposed to any other. We are glad that we can share with you.”
He also published a brief clip from behind the backstage in the production of the film, which incorporates his scenes floating through something that appears to be a fallen submarine in which AI called the essence threatens the world from 2023. It seems that Christopher Mcquarrie, which he directed, and likewise had an entire a part of the interior, was recreated for the scenes. We hope that in addition to the recent ways in which Cruise states that his insurance agents have developed, the sequence isn’t based on special post -production effects to influence.
This isn’t the first principal water feat. I saw a cruise hold your breath for six minutes In the scene where his character, Ethan Hunt, needed to unlock the manhole, spinning around the giant server cooling tank. And this scene took place only after the Cruise was filmed, for which Mcquarrie helped write a script, which ends along with his diving character under the water under the Louvre Pyramid in Paris to kill an enormous aliens.
He hits theaters in just just a few weeks on May 23 and brings many questions whether a cruise and franchise still have recent tricks in the sleeves. First of all, the query arises how the film can be good at many calls with previous entries in the irritated franchise in trailers, and what’s going to tell us about how Hunt joined the IMF, first, the story of the story. The biggest query, nonetheless, is whether or not it should be the last Cruise movie. Given his obsession with movies, Hollywood and his heritage at the ticket office, I doubt it in some way. At least so long as higher than his predecessor.
