‘Times & Galaxy’, ‘Pogo Stick Champion’, Plus Today’s Other Releases and Sales – TouchArcade


Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 21st, 2024. We’re wrapping up the week today by taking a look at the remaining releases of the week to see if there’s anything cool in the lot. There might be! No spoilers. There might also be the usual lists of new and expiring sales of the day. Not telling! Wait, if I act coy about everything then there won’t be a hook to lure people into the article. Hoist by my own petard! Let’s get to work!

Select New Releases

Times & Galaxy ($19.99)

You’re the first robo reporter for the Times & Galaxy, the solar system’s holopaper of choice. You’ll have to prove yourself by writing the best stories you can. Head out on assignments, interview some wacky characters, explore around for clues and info, and then head back to the office and write up your story. Your work will be reflected in the paper, so if it ends up being a rag that’s all on you. I’ll have a review of this one soon, but I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve played so far.

Mouse & Crane ($14.99)

This is a game aimed for the younger set. You take control of the crane in each stage and use it to pick things up and move them around to solve puzzles. There’s a co-op mode included that allows a parent to play with their child, making their way through the stages together. Might be something nice if you have a little one of the right age.

Pogo Stick Champion ($4.99)

A goofy platforming game where you’re on a pogo stick and need to bounce your way to exit of each of the sixty levels in the game. The deeper into the game you go, the more hazards and traps you’ll encounter. I can think of worse ways to spend a fiver today. Like buying a small bag of flour and eating it raw with your bare hand. Why? Why would you do that?

Racine ($9.99)

A fairly straightforward roguelite battle game where you build your deck and engage in a series of battles and other events. Enemies will automatically attack you at regular intervals, so you don’t have a ton of time to think during combat. The dining isn’t exceptionally fancy by any means, and if you’re interested enough in this kind of thing to be reading this far, you probably already own a lot of games like this. It’s up to you whether or not you need another.

Rusted Moss ($19.99)

With so many Metroidvania-style games to choose from these days, it can be hard to stand out from the pack. This one knows what its best foot to put forward is, as the eShop description immediately states that this Metroidvania has a physics-based grapple. Well, okay. That’s pretty good. You also get a nice assortment of weapons to use. Reviews on other platforms look quite positive, so I’d say if the hook works for you, give this one a deeper look.

Sales

(North American eShop, US Prices)

Not a bad list of sales by any means, with lots of good games in it. None of the discounts are particularly singing to me, but Pocky & Rocky fans might want to dig in on that extremely rare sale on Snow Battle Princess Sayuki. In the outbox: Dadish! Get your Dadish on discount while you can! They’re all pretty fun, and a solid challenge for platforming fans. Check those lists!

That’s all for today and this week, friends. We’ll be back next week with more new games, more sales, more reviews, and some news. This has been a very tiring week for me for some reason, and I think I’m going to take some time this weekend to properly rest. That’s important sometimes, I’m told. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and as always, thanks for reading!
