Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 21st, 2023. It’s a big day today thanks to the announcement of a Nintendo Direct yesterday. If everything goes the way I hope, I might actually have the news in a timely fashion for you. If you don’t see it below, then everything did not go the way I hoped and we’ll catch up tomorrow. Beyond that, there are a couple of new releases on the regular schedule, plus the latest sales and expiring discounts. Let’s go forth!

< p >Well, I’m not going to summarize an entire 40 minute presentation, so let’s just hit some highlights and you can watch the video if you want the granular details. A new 2D Mario game called Super Mario Wonder! A gorgeous remake of Super Mario RPG! New Zelda Amiibos! Warioware is back and asking you to shake your booty! Vampire Survivors! Metal Gear Solid Collection! Batman Arkham Collection! Princess Peach is getting her own game? Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon Switch port! Pikmin 1 & 2 HD are available on the eShop right now! Dragon Quest Monsters! Pokemon Scarlet/Violet DLC footage! Detective Pikachu is back! Go check it out and see all the good stuff!< /p >
< h2 >New Releases< /h2 >
< p >Nova Lands ($19.99)< /p >
< p >The idea on this one is that you build factories and bases, explore a planet, take over islands, and automate the heck out of everything. Kind of human development, but in speed run form. There are enemies to battle, which you can do with your blaster and other tech, and various NPCs to meet. Looks decent for what it is, though I’ll be the very first to admit that this kind of game is decidedly not my thing. If it is your thing, you will likely want to give this a closer look.< /p >
< p >The Last Hero of Nostalgia ($24.99)< /p >
< p >Oh, it’s one of those Souls-like games. Soulsbornes? What are we calling them now? Anyway, this game has been out for a bit on other platforms and it seems to have gotten a decent but not outstanding reception. The unique story is what sets this one apart, with it being set in a video game world where things seem to be regressing into pixelated oblivion. I’m thinking about giving this one a proper go, and you might just see a review pop up if I do.< /p >
< h2 >Sales< /h2 >
< p >(North American eShop, US Prices)< /p >
< p >Well hey, an Inti Creates sale. That’s nice. I also spy a new low price for Little Noah, and that is a game I will always champion. Lots of sales on iffy TROOOZE games, if that’s your flavor of garbo. The outbox is also fairly substantial, with sales from the likes of 2K Games, Game Mill, and FDG wrapping up. Check both of those lists, friends. You never know.< /p >
