Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for April 29th, 2021. Relative to some weeks, we don’t have a whole pile of new releases to look at today. Just a dozen or so. But there are quite a few games of interest in that bunch, so you may end up spending big anyway. Of course, tomorrow has its own treats to enjoy. Aside from the new releases, we’ve got some incoming and outgoing sales to check out as well. Let’s get to it!
New Releases
Mom Hid My Game 2 ($4.99)

SwitchArcade Highlight!
I really like the Hidden My Game By Mom/Mom Hid My Game series. The puzzles are fun to figure out, and there’s usually some sort of clever ending to them. Sure, you won’t get hours and hours of entertainment out of them, but that’s fine sometimes. You can play these games on your mobile device and I think they’re fine over there, but five dollars to play on the Switch isn’t such a bad deal. If you haven’t played any of the series before, you should probably go grab the original game first. After playing it, you’ll probably want this second one too. Arcade Archives Thunder Cross II ($7.99)

SwitchArcade Highlight!
Hey, it’s a Konami Arcade Archives release that isn’t in the anniversary set. That means it is decidedly of interest. This 1991 sequel to the original Thunder Cross is a fairly predictable follow-up, but it’s quite good. I mean, it’s definitely in the B-tier of Konami shoot-em-ups...
