Of course, Haiku isn’t the only Metroidvania-style game hitting the eShop today. Otherwise, you probably know more or less what to expect from this. There’s some sort of new stuff involving a cruise liner, which is an odd flex for a basketball game. Anyway, if you like the genre and have twenty bucks in your pocket, this is probably one to get. Which is interesting to me, because it’s definitely a more easy-going game than that one. The reception to this game’s release on PC back in April was positively stellar, with fans of Hollow Knight in particular finding considerable praise for it. Haiku, the Robot is a fairly chill take on the Metroidvania concept where you play as a cute robot making its way through a mechanical world filled with rampant robots and machines. By all accounts, this is more of an evolution than a revolution, but perhaps that will be enough for the many fans of the franchise. The Switch is a mature system and its install base is massive, but there is also more competition in this category now. Splatoon 3 steps into a different kind of context. Splatoon 2 was there early on in the Switch’s life and has been a pillar of its library. It took the lemons of the Wii U’s market failure and somehow made lemonade. Remember in Disney’s Mulan when Emperor Miyagi said “the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of them all"? That’s how I see Splatoon. Let’s charge on in! New Releases Splatoon 3 ($59.99) After we go through all the new releases for the day, we’ve got a big list of new sales and a smaller list of expiring sales to look at as well. If you like your Metroidvania-style games, you’ve got to check it out. What very few are expecting is that it is Haiku, the Robot day on top of that. Well, we made it: it’s Splatoon 3 day! It’s also NBA 2K23 day, and I’ve seen enough sales charts to know that’s going to be exciting for some of you. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for September 9th, 2022.
