Hello, readers. Welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 23, 2024. Another week has come to a close, and we’re getting closer and closer to the end of the month and season. In the world of Switch, sometimes a slow Thursday means a big Friday. But this time is different. We’ve got a few new releases to check out among the trash, and a list of new sales and expired discounts for you to consider. Next week will be busier, but only a little bit busier. Hopefully September will come sooner. Let’s wrap up this week!
Select a new release
Operation: Polygon Storm ($14.99)
It’s a relatively basic real-time base defense game, but it’s a bit different from what you usually see in the genre. It’s not visually impressive, but the destructible environments add a bit of charm to the otherwise simple gameplay. It’s not my favorite genre, but if you are, it’s worth checking out.
Thermonuclear ($7.99)
Set in the distant future, after World War III has broken out, Thermonuclear You appear as part of a mega-corporation out to win. You have access to powerful new technology, Thermonuclear, and advanced combat cyborgs. Guide your cyborg through procedurally generated stages and engage in turn-based strategic battles with enemies you find there. Upgrade your cyborg and, if you’re lucky, you can defeat the Allfather AI and save the world. If not? Well, you can always try again. From what I’ve seen so far, it seems to be fine.
Magnus Trilogy ($8.99)
Visual novel series Magnus The series is bundled into one simple package. They lean more towards the bizarre and psychological side of the curve. At least, there is no argument here about the price per title. It is not for everyone, but some people will get a lot out of it.

(North American eShop, US pricing)
An interesting assortment of new sales, but the list is so short that I’ll leave it up to you to decide. Here’s what I’ll mention: Powerwash simulator is offering discounts on all paid DLC packs, as well as the main game. If you don’t own it yet, now is the time to stock up. Team 17 has a title that is closing its sale in the weekend’s Outbox. It will be on sale again soon, but do you want it now? This is your choice.
