SwitchArcade Round-Up: Reviews Featuring ‘Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku’, Plus New Releases, Sales, and Good-Byes
Farewell, SwitchArcade Readers! This is the final regular SwitchArcade Round-Up from me. After several years, circumstances necessitate a change of course. But we're going out with a bang!
Reviews & Mini-Views
Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU ($49.99)
Following the success of Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star, Imagineer's latest installment features the popular Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku. This rhythm-based boxing game offers daily workouts, mini-games, and Miku-themed song modes. It's Joy-Con only, unfortunately. The game includes difficulty options, free training, warm-ups, workout tracking, and unlockable cosmetics. While the music is excellent, the main instructor's voice is a bit jarring. Best used as a supplement to other fitness routines rather than a standalone program.
SwitchArcade Score: 4/5 -Mikhail Madnani
Magical Delicacy ($24.99)
A blend of Metroidvania exploration and cooking/crafting, Magical Delicacy shines with its pixel art and music. The exploration is well-implemented, but inventory management and UI could use improvement. Backtracking occasionally proves frustrating. The Switch version runs well, with some minor frame pacing issues. Excellent UI scaling and text options are a plus. While enjoyable, a few quality-of-life updates would elevate it.
SwitchArcade Score: 4/5 -Mikhail Madnani
Aero The Acro-Bat 2 ($5.99)
A polished sequel to the original, Aero The Acro-Bat 2 offers a solid 16-bit platforming experience. Ratalaika's improved emulation wrapper includes bonus features like box scans, achievements, and a gallery. The Super NES version is included, but the Genesis/Mega Drive version is absent. A good choice for fans of the series and retro platformers.
SwitchArcade Score: 3.5/5 -Shaun
Metro Quester | Osaka ($19.99)
A prequel and expansion to the original Metro Quester, this turn-based RPG features a new dungeon in Osaka, new character types, and new challenges. The core mechanics remain the same: turn-based combat, top-down exploration, and strategic planning. A satisfying experience for fans of the original and a great entry point for newcomers.
SwitchArcade Score: 4/5 -Shaun
