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

Farewell, dear readers, and welcome to the final regular SwitchArcade Round-Up for TouchArcade. This week's edition, while bittersweet, is packed with content: reviews from Mikhail and Shaun, new release summaries, and the usual sales lists. Let's enjoy one last ride!

Reviews & Mini-Views

Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU ($49.99)

Following the success of Fitness Boxing Fist of the North Star, Imagineer's collaboration with Hatsune Miku surprised but intrigued. Having played it alongside Ring Fit Adventure, Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU impresses.

The game uses boxing and rhythm game mechanics for daily workouts and mini-games. Miku's inclusion adds a dedicated mode featuring her songs. Note: This is a Joy-Con-only title.

Standard features include difficulty options, free training, warm-ups, workout tracking, and customizable reminders. Unlockable cosmetics add replay value. While the music is excellent, the main instructor's voice feels somewhat jarring.

Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU is a solid fitness game, particularly appealing to Miku fans. However, it's best used to supplement, rather than replace, other exercise routines. -Mikhail Madnani

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5

Magical Delicacy ($24.99)

Magical Delicacy blends Metroidvania exploration with cooking and crafting. While the exploration is well-executed, inventory management and UI could use improvement.

The game shines with its beautiful pixel art, charming music, and customizable settings, including UI scaling for handheld play. Some frame pacing issues were noted on Switch.

Magical Delicacy is a promising title, but feels slightly unfinished. Quality-of-life updates would greatly enhance the experience. -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, surprisingly boasts an improved presentation compared to Ratalaika's typical emulation releases. Features include box and manual scans, achievements, a sprite sheet gallery, and cheats.

While a polished experience, it lacks the original's charm in some aspects. The inclusion of only the Super NES version is a minor drawback.

Aero The Acro-Bat 2 is a solid platformer, recommended for fans of the original and those seeking a 16-bit throwback. -Shaun

SwitchArcade Score: 3.5/5

Metro Quester | Osaka ($19.99)

A prequel to Metro Quester, this expansion takes players to Osaka. It introduces a new dungeon, character types, and challenges. The core turn-based combat and top-down exploration remain intact.

The new setting adds a unique twist, demanding careful planning and strategic gameplay.

Metro Quester | Osaka is a worthy addition, offering a fresh adventure for fans and a great entry point for newcomers. -Shaun

SwitchArcade Score: 4/5
