Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade recap from August 26, 2024. In today’s article, we start the week with a rather lighter edition than usual. No reviews today as I’m a bit busy with other projects, which implies we only have just a few recent releases to review and the usual lists of recent and expiring sales. Well, at the least one of the recent things is interesting. The sales charts aren’t too shabby either. Tomorrow, I hope, I’ll write some review. Let’s go in and take a look at what we’ve!

Select What’s New

Fragrant History and the Path of Papaya ($7.99)

Ah, the sordid story of one of the last would-be Nintendo 3DS games. There is loads of confusion surrounding this game, so let me clear it up. Despite being a seemingly stellar tactical RPG, those that bought it on launch were surprised to get a game that lasted all of twenty minutes. True story? Nintendo’s deadline for 3DS games was quickly approaching, so the developer pushed the unfinished game to the eShop. It was later updated to the intended game, a far more extensive one which lasts over ten hours. So don’t fret in case you notice that the game is ridiculously short. This shouldn’t be. This version already includes updates and is a fairly solid eight-dollar option in case you like this genre.

Charlatan’s Leap ($3.99)

A straightforward platformer, but functional. It tries to maintain it fresh throughout the 40 levels, adding recent tricks because it goes along. For 4 dollars it’s fun enough.

Subway Station ($7.90)

Sort of like an idle game where you are attempting to repay your debts by working in a dungeon. It doesn’t look too fancy, but on a day when we’ve to wade through Moist Editions of AI-generated anime girls in bikinis, we’ll take what we will get.

Turnover

Okay, let’s check this inbox first. Another sale from Limited Run Games, which is sweet in case you’re missing any of their quirky releases. Most of TROOOZE’s junk is on sale, of which I’ve just mentioned just a few. Some Team 17 sales too. In the dropbox, the last and slightly rare remake sale is coming to an end. If you are interested, you possibly can add them to your collection as they appear to be discounted much less steadily than other Forever games.

Picture: : Netflix

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.

Netflix’s one-part live-action trailer features a treasure trove of anime Easter eggs

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 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.

The best news from The Game Awards 2023

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.

reports that Sony is in talks to buy Kadokawa Corporation, the company that owns FromSoftware, Spike Chunsoft and lots of other Japanese corporations. If successful, it will be an enormous move for Sony, gaining household names corresponding to , , and , in addition to a counterattack to Microsoft’s recent big purchases.

The most sought-after Elden ringsword has a wealthy history

reports that “two sources familiar with the matter” have told them that Sony is in talks to buy Kadokawa, an organization that reported revenues of $1.7 billion in 2024. The news network adds: “Talks between the two sides are ongoing and if successful, sources say a deal could be signed in the coming weeks.”

Kadokawa is a Japanese media conglomerate that owns a wide selection of corporations spanning manga, anime, tourism, video streaming and a few of the most vital names in the Japanese game development industry. This includes Spike Chunsoft, creator of , and more recently , in addition to Acquire, co-creators and, intriguingly, creators of the just-released Nintendo exclusive game, .

It would even be one other conquest of territory in the anime space by corporations corresponding to Doga Kobo, ENGI, Glovision and lots of others, in addition to an enormous part of Japanese manga publishing houses. Since Sony already owns Crunchyroll and Funimation, there are obvious concerns about Sony’s dominance on this space.

Of course, the header name is FromSoftware, answerable for , , and . Having these names can be an enormous coup for Sony, and of course it will raise huge questions on whether some of the world’s hottest games will turn into PlayStation exclusives. One sec Microsoft is talking loudly about porting its games to competing platformsSony has shown no signs of returning the favor, as an alternative specializing in late PC-only ports.

The news sent Kadokawa’s shares up by almost 1 / 4, although each side declined to comment.

Of course, this might be small fry in comparison with Microsoft bought Activision for $69 billionhowever it stays a major retaliatory move that would do serious damage to Xbox if all these big names were removed.
