SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3’ DLC Available, ‘Cuphead’ on Sale to Celebrate 2nd Anniversary, Today’s New Releases, the Latest Sales, and More

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for September 30th, 2019. It’s the final day of the month and the first day of the working week. What will the new week and month bring? Lots of games. Lots and lots. But that’s just normal around here, isn’t it? Today at least is a little quiet, with a pair of new releases, a little bit of news, and a whole bunch of sales. Let’s head in!

News

The First DLC Pack for ‘Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3’ is Out Now

If you bought that shiny expansion pass for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, your day has finally come. Marvel Knights: Curse of the Vampire is now available, adding a new story scenario and bringing Punisher, Blade, Morbius, and Moon Knight to the playable roster. There are also some new challenges in the Gauntlet Mode. For those who didn’t pick up the expansion pass, you still get some goodies today. As promised, free costumes for Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man, and Thor have been made available. Cap’s Super Soldier look, Black Panther’s awesome Thrice-Blessed Armor, Iron Man’s Extremis Armor, and Thor’s Ultimate Thor style are now in the game. Not my first picks for all of those characters, but still cool.

Another Update for ‘Chasm’ is Coming October 3rd

Chasm is a pretty interesting take on the whole Metroidvania concept. In some ways, it feels like it nails down the ‘Vania part of that better than most. Anyway, the game is getting another update really soon. It includes a new Arcade Mode complete with online leaderboards, customizable controls, 80 new rooms, new shortcuts and save points, and a whole lot of other really good stuff. Reading through the update notes, it feels like the developer has taken a lot of feedback on-board and is trying to overhaul as much as possible to address it. This update will be available October 3rd, so keep your eyes peeled on Thursday.

New Releases

Chop is Dish ($3.00)

Um, okay. Some monsters stole your beef, and you want to get it back. I don’t want to be too pessimistic, Mr. Chef, but I suspect your beef is going to be gone pretty quickly. It’s not really something you save for a rainy day, you know? Anyway, this is a side-scrolling action platformer. It stars a chef and that’s about as much originality as I can spot in it. Otherwise, you’re jumping through forests and caves, battling bugs and other critters, and trying to avoid dangerous obstacles like fireballs and saw blades. It’s just three bucks, so that’s something that is going for it.

Freecell Solitaire Deluxe ($8.99)

It is 2019, and there is time for Freecell. This isn’t the first game like this on the Switch, and it sure as heck won’t be last. It does look like a decent one, however. There are 15 different 3D themes to choose from, the ability to play in 3D or a more standard 2D top-down style, lots of background music, and more than 10 different designs for the cards themselves. Not much more to say about it, as it’s otherwise a pretty standard take on Freecell Solitaire.

Sales

A lot of new sales went up over the weekend, and a few of them even came and went without any chance for me to tell you about them. Well, that’s how things go sometimes. The big news today is obviously that sale on Cuphead, which celebrates the game’s second anniversary and, apparently, over five million units sold across all platforms. Holy smokes, my Canadian brethren are eating well from that one! Besides that, it’s a bit of a grab bag of titles. Have a look and see what catches your eye, I suppose. In the outbox, Activision’s latest sale is coming to a close. Grab those Crash games if you want, but they’ll be back around eventually.

‘Franz’ is a Strange Mashup of Texting-Based Adventure and “Angry Tamagotchi” from the Makers of ‘Pathologic’ and ‘Knock-Knock’

That is quite a headline, but, Franz is the kind of gaming experience that can’t be easily summarized. It’s an ambitious and unique new project from developer Ice-Pick Lodge, who made their name with the open-world horror FPS Pathologic and have also dabbled in mobile with their truly weird survival horror title Knock-Knock Game , which we reviewed back in 2014 . Ice-Pick has grown to become a fan-favorite developer due to their somewhat twisted and unconventional take on developing and storytelling, and “twisted and unconventional" are two extremely apt descriptors for their upcoming title Franz . What even is Franz ? I guess if you had to summarize, Ice-Pick describes it as “a hybrid between an SMS novel and an angry version of tamagotchi" but it also seems like the type of thing that doesn’t really have anything else before it to compare to. You can watch a very cryptic teaser trailer just below followed by a fascinating behind-the-scenes video where the game’s art dire...

SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘Pawarumi’ Review, ‘Dragon Quest’ Hero Approaches ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’, Today’s New Releases, the Latest Sales Information, and More

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for July 31st, 2019. I managed to spend half of my birthday sick in bed, but I got a sweet birthday cake from my wife and some nice Spider-Man loot, so it’s hard to be upset. In today’s article, we’ve got a review of the recent shoot-em-up release Pawarumi , summaries of today’s trio of new releases, some tasty news bits, and a bunch of cool sales to dig into. Let’s roll into it! News ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’ Now Features the Hero from ‘Dragon Quest’ I actually got a prediction right for once! Praise me! Anyway, you probably already saw this, but during yesterday’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate video presentation about the latest DLC character, players were treated to the news that the Hero from Dragon Quest would be dropping later that day. That means he’s available right now! There are other Dragon Quest -related items that have been added to the game alongside him, like new Mii Fighter costumes and such. If you...

SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!’, ‘Moero Chronicle Hyper’, and Other New Releases, Ridiculous Amounts of Sales, and More

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for Monday, April 29th. You may have noticed that there was no SwitchArcade on Friday. I had a bit of a medical emergency and it just wasn’t possible to put anything together. Sorry! But I’m okay now, and as such I’ve decided to catch up on everything I missed. No news or reviews today, but watch for those to make their returns tomorrow. Let’s catch up! New Releases Panty Party ($14.99) I still can’t believe this is a real game that exists and is available on the Nintendo eShop. But here we are. Take control of one of a large variety of flying panties and use your special abilities to attack the enemy panties. That sentence describes a real video game. Given that the game is rated E10+, you probably shouldn’t expect anything too provocative here. Rather, it’s a sort of absurdity that you play just to see stupid-looking situations. And you can even play four-player split-screen, provided you can find three friends that w...
