Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for January 18th, 2021. In today’s article, I finally catch up on a bunch of games I’ve had piled up for review. On top of that, there are several new releases to look at, though none of them are what I would describe as a must-have. We’ve got summaries of them anyway, of course. Finally, we’ve got a healthy list of new sales and all of the outgoing sales to round things out. Let’s get to it!
Mini-Views
Epitaph ($12.99)
Usually the absence of one particular feature isn’t enough to drag a game down all that much, but in the case of
Tetris 99 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and we go over the details of both. There are two excellent new releases today, and a very large list of sales that are finishing up tomorrow to consider. New sales? Uh, what are those? Haha, let’s get going!
News
The 19th Maximus Cup event in
Tetris 99 is almost upon us. Starting this Friday and running for three days through the weekend, this even puts last year’s
Kirby Fighters 2 in the spotlight with a brand new theme. This event works like most of the previous Maximus Cup events, challenging you with earning 100 points across the event period to permanently add the theme to your collection. You’ll get more points by placing higher, but even if you’re not that great at the game it doesn’t take too long to get the necessary points. Good luck!
