SwitchArcade Roundup: “Fragrant History and the Path of the Papaya,” plus today’s other releases and sales
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.

That’s all for today, friends. We’ll be back tomorrow with more news, more sales, and perhaps some reviews and news. It really will depend on what else I’m coping with. I wish you good luck in getting things done on time. Have an important Monday everyone, and as all the time, thanks for reading!
SAG-aftra, massive actors and media with over 160,000 members, lified an unfair charge of labor practice on the National Council for Epic Games regarding the inclusion Darth Vader with AI drive In the most recent update.
Perhaps you heard about Darth Vader with AI drive This was added to the favored Epic Battle Royale game last week as a part of the continued season. Players could consult with this vader powered by AI and ask him questions. The voice of AI was designed to mimic the voice of the deceased James Earl Jones I He finished along with his and his assets. Pretty quickly after he was added to the sport, the players told him to say Slrars, curses and other dubious things. Epicaled him and it appears that evidently he has mastered Mr. Sith. But now the developer is in hot water with one in all the biggest media compounds in the country, because he included this vader powered by AI without prior communication or negotiations with SAG-aftra.
May 19, as reported Sag-aftra announced that he had submitted unfair allegation of labor practice against Epic Games and its subsidiary, Llama Productions.
“We are celebrating the right of our members and their possessions to control the use of their digital replicas and with satisfaction to accept new technologies to enable a new generation to share these heritage and renowned roles” He said in the SAG-AFTRA statement.
“However, we must protect our right to bargain the conditions related to the use of the voice that replace the work of our members, including those who have previously performed work on the iconic rhythm and tone of Darth Vader in video games.”
Sag-aftra says that Epic and Llama Productions “decided to replace the work of human performers AI” and did it without “notifying their intention to this” and without allowing unification on honest conditions.
SAG-aftra voice entities are currently in a strike against large video games, including EA and Activision on various issues. The strike began in 2024. One of the massive ones is greater protection against copies of AILike Darth Vader W.

The standard rattling story each time. Old sympathy appears, saying that a while has passed, we must always get lunch, catch up. By the way, I do know that we weren’t close for a very very long time, however it has been hard for just a few months, will you murder dozens of people in honor of my deceased brother, chief? I’m normally not like that. I just do not have anyone he could turn to. A story as old as time. – Justin Clark Read more

Tiktok is currently in an especially difficult place. Despite the proven fact that everyone knows that they use it for a lot of hours, the video sharing application is currently within the face of regulations that may force its ban within the US in anticipation of potential sales, and potential buyers are queuing up. One of these potential buyers is supposedly Bobby Kotick, the former head of Activision Blizzard, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Tiktok has been examined for years by American legislators, who argued that its Chinese dominant company Bytedance may provide data that collects the Chinese government or that the applying can function a propaganda delivery tool. Despite a while of tension, leading many to the conviction that the applying will likely be banned within the USA, matters seemingly cooled until the bill is pushed through the House Energy and Commerce Committee last week, raising his pressure on Bytedance. It is predicted that the bill will likely be reviewed and approved by the House of Representatives this week before sending to the Senate, and President Joe Biden has already claimed that he would have signed a ban if the Act had made the regulations.
The bill requires Bytedance to “deprive himself of” Tiktoku or see an application prohibited within the USA, which led to re -interest of potential buyers, including Kotick. Kotick, according to the sources of WSJ, raised the concept of buying a co -founder of Bytedance and apparently in search of partners, including Altman himself from OpenAi. According to the Wall Street Journal, “Openai could use a thicket to help train his AI models if a partner like Kotick can raise capital for such a takeover.” Tiktok sales are estimated at “hundreds of billions of dollars”.
Kotick left Activision Blizzard at the top of last 12 months after the sale of the publisher $ 68 billion to Microsoft. Kotick’s term of office in Activision Blizzard lasted a long time and was under fire in 2021, when California filed a lawsuit on investigation regarding allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination. Ultimately, California Department of Citizenship withdrew all allegations and claims regarding harassment and settled with Activision Blizzard in December 2023 for $ 54 million to resolve unjustified claims regarding remuneration and promotion.
The settlement approved by the Court contained an announcement, provided that:
“(N) for a court or any independent investigation justified all allegations that in Activision Blizzard there is a system or universal sexual harassment; that the management of Activision Blizzard ignored, accepted or tolerated the culture of system harassment, retaliation or discrimination; instances of improper behavior in the workplace.”
In addition, the settlement noticed that the former chairman of EEOC conducted a review of company policies, practices and a few data regarding complaints and stated that the corporate was not universal harassment. The company itself publicly published its transparency report, which moreover stated that in Activision Blizzard there was never a typical or systemic harassment or sexual salary.
Kotick left with a golden parachute estimated at about $ 15 million.
Updated: 04/01/2024, 14:00 ET: This article has been updated to contain the main points of the CRD settlement that Activision Blizzard refused all offenses, and the settlement confirms that CRD cannot justify these claims.
Updated: 05/17/2025, 12:10 pm et: This article has been updated with a further language from the CRD settlement and to include this as part of the CRD settlement withdrew claims related to harassment from the criticism.
