SwitchArcade Round-Up: 'Axis Football 2024', 'Grotto', Plus Today's Other Releases and Massive Sales
Briefly

This is a collection of two retro-style action platformers, both of which are relatively recent NES releases. They have a comedic bent to them, which isn't exactly a novel thing but might be something you appreciate. Both games are fairly challenging, and the character swapping aspect of the second game is cool. I think at this price point you get a fair value here, provided you enjoy the genre.
Here's the 2024 edition of Axis Football, and it looks like they've taken a lot of feedback into account. Blocking has been totally overhauled, you can now save and resume matches in progress, the defensive playbook has gotten a serious boost, zone coverage has been adjusted, the difficulty curve has gotten some TLC, and the UI has been improved. There are additions to the franchise mode, customization, and more. If you liked the first game, you'll certainly appreciate the improvements here. If you didn't, perhaps they will convince you to give the series another shot.
You're the soothsayer of your people, and you have to look to the stars and read the bones to give them advice on their daily matters. Be careful, as if you read things poorly the outcomes can be devastating. With a striking visual style and unique gameplay, this is one game that fans of titles like Coffee Talk and VA-11 Hall-A will want to take a closer look at.
