Exclusive: Google-Friendly SEO Writing Released

Farewell, SwitchArcade Readers! This is the final regular SwitchArcade Round-Up from me. After several years, I'm moving on to new adventures. But before I go, let's dive into one last roundup of reviews, new releases, and sales.

Reviews & Mini-Views

Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU ($49.99)

Imagineer's Fitness Boxing series continues with a Hatsune Miku collaboration. This rhythm-boxing game offers daily workouts, mini-games, and Miku-themed content. While the core gameplay is solid, featuring adjustable difficulty, free training, and cosmetic unlocks, the main instructor's voice is jarring. Best used as a supplement to other fitness routines.

Joy-Con only.

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5

Magical Delicacy ($24.99)

A charming blend of Metroidvania exploration and cooking/crafting. The pixel art and music are delightful, and the exploration is well-implemented, though backtracking and inventory management could be improved. The UI takes some getting used to. Despite some minor flaws, it's a promising title that could benefit from future updates.

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5

Aero The Acro-Bat 2 ($5.99)

A polished sequel to the original Aero The Acro-Bat. This Ratalaika Games release boasts improved presentation, including extra features like achievements, a gallery, and a jukebox. The inclusion of only the SNES version is a minor drawback. A solid platformer for fans of the series and 16-bit classics.

SwitchArcade Score: 3.5/5

Metro Quester | Osaka ($19.99)

More of an expansion than a sequel, Metro Quester | Osaka offers a new dungeon, characters, and challenges within the familiar turn-based RPG framework of the original. Requires patience and strategic planning. A great addition for fans of the original.

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5
