‘SPY X ANYA’, ‘Last Night of Winter’, Plus Today’s Other New Releases and Sales – TouchArcade


Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 28th, 2024. We’ve got several games to mop up in today’s new releases, with the Spy x Family game leading the pack. We take a look at all the games worth checking into, and then head on in to our well-liked lists of new and expiring sales for the day. Oh, and I did say I would remind you: that F-Zero 99 Maximus Cup event in Tetris 99 has officially kicked off. Go get those points so you can keep the theme. Let’s get to the games!

Select New Releases

SPY X ANYA: Operation Memories ($49.99)

Anya has been given a most elegant homework assignment: making a photo diary of her memories. You’ll follow her on her daily life, going to school on the weekdays and doing various activities on the weekends. When Anya finds something worthy of attention, take a photo to add it to her book. There are fifteen different mini-games to play, ranging from riding good boy Bond to using Anya’s mind-reading powers to cheat at cards. You can also collect a range of outfits for the whole family and dress them up as you like. Even Bond! Dressing up Bond? That’s worth fifty bucks alone.

Last Night of Winter ($9.99)

This is a top-down action-adventure game where you play as a wandering spirit of a warrior who fell during a siege on a fortress. You need to make your way to the top of the tower to see a fellow who might be able to help you with your current situation. To do that, you’ll need to explore, collect items, solve puzzles, and battle enemies. This is a pretty tough game, so be aware of that before you jump in. One of those games that takes a lot of cues from the Souls series.

Gigantosaurus: Dino Sports ($39.99)

We’re like a month away from the next Summer Olympics, in case you’re wondering about the uptick in event-based sports games recently. Here’s one with dinosaurs! You only get eight mini-games to play, but they’re at least different from what you’ll see in other such games. Up to four players can join in via local multiplayer, so that box is checked. It’s Outright Games publishing it, so adjust your expectations appropriately.

34 Sports Games – World Edition ($29.99)

But hey, maybe you want the big variety pack of sports? You get a whopping thirty-four events to play here, and it has the usual local multiplayer for up to four players. Compete against other countries in the different events, just like in the… you know, that sports event. The one coming next month. You’re paying less than a buck per mini-game here, so there’s a good chance a party-minded individual could get a nice value out of this one.

Nocturnal Visitors ($4.99)

A normal guy named Jamie gets transported to another world one day, where he finds out he is not so normal after all. He’s a Visitor, a rare type of person who can cross the barrier between his world and this new one. He’s soon recruited into an organization that investigates cross-dimensional crimes, and that’s where your skills come into play. Help Jamie investigate scenes and piece together clues to figure out the answers in this adventure game. But keep your eyes open, as all may not be as it initially seems.

CATS BASEBALL ($7.99)

This is a dice-based baseball game about cats who play baseball. There are some different modes on offer, including a story mode that will probably serve as the meat of the experience for most players and a battle mode that sets you against another player via local multiplayer. It’s a very unique game, to say the least. That might be enough to get it into the hands of some players.

Luxor Evolved ($19.99)

One of the more popular rip-offs of Mitchell Corporation’s 1998 classic Puzz Loop, Luxor now has a new game on the Switch. There are sixty-five levels, and it seems to be going for a whole neon vibe that seems fresh out of the late 00s. My favorite Luxor story is when the original publisher asked Apple to take down a similar game from the iOS App Store. The utter gall. Sorry, I’m going on a whole thing here. The current owner of Luxor doesn’t have anything to do with all that. Do what you will with this.

Sales

(North American eShop, US Prices)

Some oddities in the list today, with quite a few games hitting new low prices. If you don’t mind a little undead cheesecake and like crawling dungeons, Undead Darlings is a steal at 90% off. Levelhead and Crashlands at four bucks and three bucks respectively are also great pick-ups. There isn’t much to worry about in the weekend outbox, so focus your attention on that list of new sales and see what treats you can walk away with.

I have some contract work to get through this weekend, so I fear I will be pulling some serious late nights. Can’t be helped sometimes! I hope you all have a restful and relaxing weekend, and as always, thanks for reading!
