SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘Fragrant Story & Papaya’s Path’, Plus Today’s Other Releases and Sales

Hello fellow gamers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024! Today's update is a bit lighter than usual; I'm juggling other projects, so reviews are postponed until tomorrow. However, we've got some new releases to explore, plus the usual sales updates. Let's dive in!

New Game Releases

Fragrant Story and Papaya's Path ($7.99)

Fragrant Story, a tactical RPG initially released incompletely for the 3DS, has received its full updates. Early reports of its short playtime were due to this unfinished launch. Now a much more substantial experience (10+ hours), it's a solid choice for fans of the genre at its current price point.

Quack Jump ($3.99)

A straightforward platformer with 40 levels and evolving gameplay mechanics. A fun, affordable option.

Underground Station ($7.90)

An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. It might not be visually stunning, but it offers a different kind of gameplay experience.

Sales Spotlight

(North American eShop, US Prices)

Let's look at the current sales. Limited Run Games has another sale running, offering discounts on their unique titles. Several Team 17 games are also on sale. Note that the sale on the Front Mission remakes is ending soon – a rare opportunity to grab them at a discount.
