SwitchArcade Recap: ‘DOOM + DOOM II,’ ‘Revue Starlight,’ Plus Today’s Other Releases, News, and Sales
Hey there, dear readers, and welcome to the August 9, 2024 SwitchArcade Round-Up. Today we’ve got a bit of stories for you, a handful of latest releases, and the standard lists of upcoming and upcoming sales so that you can enjoy. All in all, a reasonably solid end to a comparatively solid week within the Switch world. This summer sure is flying by, right? A bit faster yearly, but I assume that’s how time works. Let’s get to the games!
News
Nintendo Switch Online GBA App Gets ‘Pokemon Mystery Dungeon’
Oh hey, a brand new game for Nintendo Switch Online. Specifically, it’s for the Game Boy Advance app, so you will need the Expansion Pack update in your subscription. If you do, try this magical update and enjoy. For many Westerners, this was their first experience with the roguelike genre. It’s a great first step into that world, because it’s subtle while still maintaining a good amount of depth. It’s still a reasonably fun game, and I assume you need to use the emulator feature to cheat if you happen to want. Cool?
Select recent releases
DOOM + DOOM II ($9.99)
Here’s our annual Quakecon surprise, and I can truthfully say I did not have the “KEX Engine Recipe of the First Two Games” on my Bingo card. But that is what we have now here, and it’s awesome. It runs higher, has more options, still has full mod support, and you may even play online in cross-platform multiplayer. Best of all, if you happen to’ve already bought one in every of the previous versions on Switch, this one is totally free. Wow!
Escape from the Pharaoh’s Tomb ($4.99)
This is five dollars value of energy. This is a puzzle platformer, however the puzzle part comes right down to the type where you tilt mirrors to angle a beam of sunshine. Two very familiar things, but smashing them together could make the journey definitely worth the modest price.
Boom Robots ($4.99)
I assume you possibly can throw that fiver in there too, if you happen to want. It’s a top-down motion game for as much as eight players in multiplayer. You take control of robots and attempt to blow one another away. I think this dinner is not exactly elegant, nevertheless it might discover a place in the suitable person’s library.
Ride Ticket ($29.99)
probably doesn’t need much of an introduction for anyone even barely conversant in the trendy board game landscape. It’s a digital version of the favored railroad empire-building game. Interestingly, if you must play multiplayer, you’ll need to go surfing. Local play is solo against just the CPU. If that’s not a difficulty for you, and wherever you’re appears like something you’re on the lookout for, here it’s.
Starlight El Dorado Revue ($29.99)
This is a visible novel based on a preferred anime. Sometimes these games can appeal to those outside of the fan base, and other times they’re more focused on fan service, and this one is more of the latter. With that in mind, for those fans? This is vital, little doubt. You’ll see quite a lot of added information concerning the various characters and see recent sides to ones well. A game that actually knows its audience, if nothing else.
Krosfighter ($9.99)
Finally, we have now a celebration shooter for as much as 4 players, each local and online. There are fourteen different characters to select from, in addition to several arenas to fight in. It looks decent for what it’s, but I have never had a likelihood to play it yet.
Turnover
Lots of interesting stuff in my inbox today. Games, Bethesda games, … plenty of really good games to take into consideration. As for my inbox, it’s an extended list, but interestingly, not much appeals to me. Apart from Mushihimesama, which, as I remind you, is being faraway from the list, like… tomorrow? The day after? Get it! And take a look at those lists when you’re at it!

That’s all for today and this week, friends. We’ll be back next week with recent releases, more sales, more reviews, and a couple of recent things. I feel like I’ve almost recovered from my last issue, which suggests I’d have the option to take into consideration eating some nice food next week. Fingers crossed. I hope you all have an exquisite weekend, and as all the time, 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.
