SwitchArcade Round-Up: Reviews Featuring ‘Fitness Boxing feat. Hatsune Miku’, Plus New Releases, Sales, and Good-Byes

Farewell, SwitchArcade Readers! This is the final regular SwitchArcade Round-Up from your faithful author. After several years, circumstances necessitate a change of course. But we're going out with a bang! This edition includes reviews from Mikhail and Shaun, new release summaries, and the usual sales lists. Let's dive in one last time!

Reviews & Mini-Views

Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU ($49.99)

Following Imagineer's successful Fitness Boxing franchise (including the surprisingly fun Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star), their collaboration with Hatsune Miku was a clever move. I've been playing it alongside Ring Fit Adventure, and I'm impressed.

The Fitness Boxing series uses boxing and rhythm game mechanics for daily workouts and mini-games. This Miku edition features a dedicated mode for her songs, in addition to the usual tracks. Note: This game requires Joy-Cons only.

As with previous entries, difficulty options, free training, warm-ups, workout tracking, and cosmetic unlocks are included. The base game is better than Fist of the North Star, except for one minor issue: the main instructor's voice is jarring and I found myself muting it.

Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU successfully blends Miku's charm with solid fitness mechanics. While a competent fitness game, it's best used as a supplement to other routines rather than a standalone solution. -Mikhail Madnani

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5

Magical Delicacy ($24.99)

Magical Delicacy from sKaule and Whitethorn Games blends Metroidvania exploration with cooking and crafting. While it successfully integrates both genres, some flaws hold it back.

You play as Flora, a young witch on a wholesome, magical adventure. The exploration is well-implemented, though backtracking can be frustrating. Inventory management and the UI could use improvement.

The game boasts stunning pixel art, lovely music, and excellent accessibility options. Performance is mostly smooth, with occasional frame pacing hiccups. It's better suited to handheld play.

Magical Delicacy is a promising game that needs some polish. Inventory and backtracking issues detract from the experience, but it's still enjoyable, especially on Switch. -Mikhail Madnani

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5

Aero The Acro-Bat 2 ($5.99)

A sequel to the 16-bit classic, Aero The Acro-Bat 2 is a surprisingly polished platformer. While not a massive success, it's a solid entry in the genre. Ratalaika's improved emulation wrapper includes extras like box art scans, achievements, and a sprite gallery.

The only drawback is the omission of the SEGA Genesis version. Fans of the original, and 16-bit platformers in general, will find this a worthwhile purchase.

SwitchArcade Score: 3.5/5

Metro Quester | Osaka ($19.99)

More of an expansion than a sequel, Metro Quester | Osaka expands on the original's turn-based dungeon crawling with a new setting, characters, and challenges. The new Osaka setting introduces water traversal via canoe.

Fans of the original will find plenty to love here, while new players should jump straight to this enhanced experience. Careful planning is key to success.

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5
