The Latest Nintendo Direct Arrives, Plus Sales From Capcom and More – TouchArcade

Published:


Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 18th, 2024. Today is perhaps the worst day of the year for the time zone difference between me and North America. Right now today’s big Nintendo Direct presentation is eight hours in the future for me, and I’ll be at home in my jammies by the time it goes live. At some point after that, this article will get posted. Likely due to that Direct, there’s not a whole lot to talk about today. I’ve got a link to the show here, plus the lists of the latest and expiring sales for the day. Let’s get to it!

News

Check Out Today’s Nintendo Direct Presentation

We can do that amusing thing where I try to pretend I saw the Nintendo Direct already. Maybe I can use some rumors to guess at things, suggesting that I already know about certain RPGs or adventure games getting ported to the platform. But it’s an old joke, and we both know I haven’t seen it. If you haven’t, you can watch it right now! I bet there are some cool games in it. We’ll talk about them tomorrow, for sure. I mean, 40 minutes all on games coming to Switch in the back half of this year? There must be some great stuff in there!

Select New Releases

As I have mentioned above, I’m writing this before the Nintendo Direct presentation. You’ll be reading this after, I’m quite sure. Right now when I look at the new release schedule for today, it is (extremely suspiciously for a Tuesday) empty. There will almost certainly be some shadow drops following the Nintendo Direct, and I will catch up on them tomorrow. Regretfully, that’s the best I can do. See you back here tomorrow, hopefully with some tasty new games to dig into.

Sales

(North American eShop, US Prices)

I don’t know how much we’re going to have to allocate to buying some new releases today, but just in case there’s anything left in your pocket, Capcom is looking to fish it out. Good sales on Resident Evil games, and some really good sales on the fighting game bundles. The outbox is even bigger, with sales from the likes of Thunderful and Limited Run Games coming to a close. Buy what you must.

I’m keeping my expectations in check given where we’re at in the lifespan of the Nintendo Switch. Hopefully future Shaun enjoyed what he saw. I’ll know when I am him, I suppose. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday, and as always, thanks for reading!
