Immerse in 'Fragrant Story' and 'Papaya's Path': New App Bonanza Unveiled

Hello fellow gamers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024! Today's update is a bit lighter than usual. Due to other commitments, reviews are postponed until tomorrow. However, we've got some new releases to cover, along with the usual sales updates. At least one of the new releases is quite intriguing, and the sales are pretty decent too. Let's dive in!

New Game Releases

Fragrant Story and Papaya's Path ($7.99)

Fragrant Story, a purported final Nintendo 3DS title, has a bit of a checkered past. Initially released as a severely truncated experience, it's since been significantly expanded. This version includes all updates, delivering a robust tactical RPG experience lasting well over ten hours. For eight dollars, it's a solid buy for fans of the genre.

Quack Jump ($3.99)

A straightforward platformer offering 40 levels with evolving mechanics. At four dollars, it provides decent entertainment value.

Underground Station ($7.90)

An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. The visuals might not be groundbreaking, but it's a welcome alternative on a day when AI-generated content is overflowing.

Sales

(North American eShop, US Prices)

Let's check those sales! Limited Run Games has another sale, great for those seeking their unique titles. Many of TROOOZE's games are discounted (only a few listed here), and there are also some Team 17 deals. Note that the sale on the Front Mission remakes is ending soon; these are rarely discounted, so act fast if interested.
