I don’t think I’d bother downloading this for free, let alone pay nine bucks for it. You start with just one car, but there are two other cars you can unlock. You can use the coins to upgrade your car at pit stops, and it’s pretty much the usual endless runner selection of power-ups plus some added firepower and shields. Your car will automatically fire its weapons, so you just need to concentrate on maneuvering around other vehicles and scooping up coins and what-have-you. This is an endless shoot-em-up where you play as a car instead of a spaceship or plane. This individual release has a few more options than that one, but unless you love A-Jax but somehow have no interest in Gradius, Gradius II, Life Force, TwinBee, and Thunder Cross, it’s really hard think of a scenario where you’d want to buy this. Even worse, this game is already included on the Konami Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection with a bunch of other games for a bit more than twice this price. Not a bad little game, but it’s nothing to run down the street shouting at the top of your voice about. Known as Typhoon in some regions, this 1987 title seems like it’s an ordinary vertical shoot-em-up until you hit one of its 3D stages. Some of Konami’s shoot-em-ups are among the most famous, important works in the history of the genre. I’ll have a review of this entire trilogy soon, friends. While the Mysterious Trilogy usually isn’t considered the best of the bunch, the three games that it comprises have a lot to like about them. ![]() In case you don’t, these games are crafting-heavy JRPGs with cute characters and generally fluffy stories. ![]() By this point, you probably know what the Atelier games are all about. The last game on that list was released on the Switch a few years ago in somewhat rough form, but this new DX version makes a lot of improvements over that port and is handily a better experience. Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack ($89.99)Ītelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book DX ($39.99)Ītelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey DX ($39.99)Ītelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings DX ($39.99)īringing the total number of mainline Atelier games on the Switch to a cool twelve, the Atelier Mysterious Trilogy includes deluxe versions of Atelier Sophie, Atelier Firis, and Atelier Lydie & Suelle. It’s always nice to see a vintage game get this high-quality level of treatment, too. I think this is easily the least of Shantae’s adventures, but it packs in a lot of charm for the level of hardware it was working with. You get save states, multiple display options, improvements to the controls, and even a little art gallery. Better still, this includes both the standard version of the game and the Game Boy Advance-enhanced version, which adjusted the color palette and added an extra transformation. For those counting at home, this means every single Shantae game is now playable on your Switch. The original Shantae arrives on Switch in this excellent rendition of the Game Boy Color game. I’ll have a review of this one next week. Except for its vile mapping of ‘confirm’ to the ‘B’ button, anyway. This is an extremely wacky top-down action-adventure, and I rather like it. He really just keeps doing the tax evasion, friends. And rip up everything he can find that has anything to do with taxes. A corrupt mayor has nailed poor Turnip Boy for not paying his taxes properly, so he sets out on a quest to get out of hot water. Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is inspired by the Yoshi meme, and I’m happy to say that it’s only so in the loosest sense. But even if the meme is fresh, trying to get the tone right without being annoying or inauthentic can be a challenge. ![]() In the time it takes to make a game, memes tend to become ancient history. For starters, such things tend to be ephemeral. It’s always risky to base a game on a meme. On with today’s show! New Releases Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion ($14.99) Those are some super-cool games and I’m glad they’re finally getting a Western release. No time for the news, though if you need something to celebrate Capcom has announced The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for release on Switch and other platforms on July 27th. That’s what this article is all about, with a little time for the incoming and outgoing sales at the end. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for April 22nd, 2021.
