As for the outgoing sales, the Team 17 sale is finishing up soon. Given what happens at the end of the week, though, I wouldn’t worry too much about having things to spend money on. Well, that’s not a lot, is it? I’ll admit there are some deep discounts there on a couple of games that rarely go on sale, but it’s not much to get too excited about.
At the very least, it has support for local and online multiplayer, so there’s always someone to share your misery with.
#GARFIELD KART FRAME DROP PLUS#
This is… sigh… an enhanced new version of the “classic" 3DS game Garfield Kart, featuring all of the content from that game plus a little bit extra, all wrapped up in what are supposed to be improved visuals. Here to toss his lasagna-fattened hindquarters into the ring is Garfield, everyone’s favorite Monday-hating cat. It’s a little hard to choose the best kart racing game released this year, but what many people don’t know is that there is an intense battle for the worst kart racing game as well. It’s probably not going to leave you dead on the ground like Ring Fit Adventure, but it gives you an excuse to dance vigorously in your living room, and that will certainly burn some calories if you put enough time into it. There’s a multiplayer mode, various goals and achievements to work towards, and some tools for tracking your progress. On-screen Zumba… coaches? Not sure what you’d call them, but the people on-screen are doing moves, and you need to try to match them. You get lots of tunes to dance along to, with varying levels of intensity. This new game comes from a totally different company, but I think Zumba fans will find it checks off most of the necessary boxes. I’m not sure how popular Zumba is these days, but I do remember a time when Wii games based on the fitness program sold by the bucketloads. I haven’t tested it in that capacity yet, so I can’t speak much to its merits. So grab a few friends or family members and enjoy the local multiplayer for all it’s worth. You can play by yourself if you want, but my impression is that to do so is largely missing the point. Beyond that? Some action elements, some RPG elements, some roguelite elements, and a whole lot of wacky humor. It’s clearly aimed at being a multiplayer party game, and that’s rather fitting given what it’s based on. Munchkin: Quacked Quest ($24.99)īased on Steve Jackson’s classic card game, Munchkin: Quacked Quest is a rather odd hybrid of various genres. It’s playable, but if you only play undocked this may not be the best choice. It’s worse here than it is in many of those other games simply because high-speed racing demands more technical stability. Undocked, it makes a lot of the same compromises we’ve seen in other tough ports like DOOM or The Witcher 3, with a variable frame rate and shifting resolution depending on what’s happening on-screen at the moment. It’s also not too bad from a technical perspective when you’re playing in docked mode. But if all you have a Switch, you’ll find this to be a very enjoyable take on rally racing with lots of crunchy sim and RPG-style mechanics. If you have another way to play it, you’ll almost certainly want to do that. Basically, it’s an impressive port that nevertheless represents a big graphical step down from other versions. Well, you probably know how it goes when it comes to ambitious ports like this on the Switch. New Releases WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship ($49.99) Surprisingly playable, and a nifty little extra. The NEOGEO Pocket Color Samurai Shodown! 2 will be a bonus for anyone who buys the game ahead of time on the eShop. The good news is that the interesting pre-order bonus from Japan will be available in the West as well. The game will now release in the West in the first quarter of next year. While the Switch port of SNK’s Samurai Shodown revival was originally scheduled to hit this year and indeed will be coming out in Japan on December 12th, it appears its Western release is slipping a few months.
