Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for February 3rd, 2020. In today’s article we’ve got a trio of Mini-Views for you to check out, a trio of new releases summarized, and a rather robust list of sales to dig through.

Mini-Views
198X ($9.99)

Style over substance. It sometimes works. It seems to be what 198X is banking on, because my goodness this game is stylish as all get-out. Unfortunately, it’s also a lot less substantial than you’d like it to be. The game amounts to five mini-game callbacks that vary in terms of quality and authenticity. The beat-em-up is simple but fun, the shoot-em-up is surprisingly solid, the racer looks the part but doesn’t feel it, the auto-runner is enjoyable but out of place, and the dungeon-crawler is just awkward. All of these games are glued together by a narrative that seems to want to say something but doesn’t know what to say, leading it to fall back on tropes so generic that they fail to have any impact at all. Still, the magic trick of the visuals, sound, and rapid-fire pace make it worth running through once if you have the appropriate level of nostalgia. SwitchArcade Score: 3/5
