Here’s a visual novel-style game about a tempestuous romance where the closer the two get, the more unstable the relationship becomes. Milky Way Prince – The Vampire Star ($14.99) It’s apparently the work of a solo developer, so that’s something. You get some puzzles to solve, enemies to fight, and a victim to find. You’ve got a big clue, at least: her phone has been tracked to the middle of a nearby scary forest. A teenage girl has been kidnapped during a live stream, and it falls to you to investigate the case. You play as a detective with a dark past, which is pretty normal as video game detectives go. This is a survival-horror action game, and it certainly has a distinct look to it. If the port is fine, then I think racing fans will have another enjoyable title to throw on the pile. I do worry a bit for this Switch port, as it is making its way over from beefier hardware and THQ Nordic has been very hit or miss with that kind of port.

It’s a pretty solid game, especially if you enjoy demolition derby-style affairs. Wreckfest ($39.99)īugbear Entertainment’s over-the-top racing game Wreckfest makes its way to the Switch after releasing on many other platforms years back. I liked these games a lot when I first played them back in the day, and as long as these ports don’t have any nasty bugs or anything I think RPG fans will dig them.

Lots of choices to make, lots of character customization, and plenty of side quests to solve. They’re basically Western RPG-style games with tactical turn-based combat.

The three Harebrained Schemes-developed Shadowrun games come to Switch, and you can pick them up as a full trilogy for a sharp discount or separately as you see fit. Shadowrun: Hong Kong – Extended Edition ($19.99) Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director’s Cut ($19.99) As the game is shifting to free-to-play with the launch of this version, we’ve yet to see exactly how the monetization will affect it. The multiplayer is cross-platform so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding people to play with. You can technically play alone offline, but the real game is in joining the online multiplayer where up to sixty players can get in on the action.

Anyway, the goal here is to go through a series of obstacle courses until only one character is left standing. I guess we’ll see if these console releases can give it a second wind. It feels like that in the time it took for this game to make its way to the Switch, the hype around it cooled a lot. I guess we’ll have to continue to wait and see if Nintendo has a general Direct coming up soon, but it’ll be nice to get a deeper dive on this cool-looking JRPG. It will be about twenty minutes long and will feature plenty of information about next month’s big first-party release. That would be 7:00 am PT or 9:00 am ET on June 22nd, to be very specific. But that’s what we’re getting, as Nintendo has announced a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Nintendo Direct for tomorrow morning. With everyone on tenterhooks waiting for Nintendo to announce an E3-esque Nintendo Direct presentation, one thing people perhaps weren’t anticipating was a Direct focused on a single game.

‘Xenoblade Chronicles 3’ Nintendo Direct Announced for June 22nd We’ve also got the usual lists of new and expiring sales for you to have a gander at.

Still, we have an unusually large list of new releases to look at for a Tuesday, and even a bit of news. I had originally planned to have a review for you today, but I’m not feeling very good so I’ve had to rest rather than play games. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 21st, 2022.
