The 10 Best Game Boy and Game Boy Color Games on Nintendo Switch, Plus 5 We’d Like to See – SwitchArcade Special – TouchArcade


For our next dive into the retro games available on Switch, we’re going all the way back to 1989. Er, and then to 1998. We’re heading back to the old monochrome beast and its colorful successor: the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. While there is a robust selection of games from these handhelds in the Nintendo Switch Online app, we’re instead looking at those games that dare to exist in the wilds of the Switch eShop. We’ve got ten of our favorites here, plus five more games that we’d like to see. No particular order, of course. Time to Play It Loud!

Shantae ($9.99)

Once a genuine scarcity that would cost you hundreds of dollars to get your hands on in any legal capacity, Shantae is now quite readily available in digital form. This game is considerably rougher than its sequels, but it pushes the Game Boy Color hardware in a lot of interesting ways, providing a platformer with a bit more to it than the average Game Boy hop-and-bop. Wow, I haven’t seen the term “hop-and-bop” in something like twenty-five years. Well, there you go. Shantae: it’s pretty good fun.

Trip World DX ($19.99)

Here’s another game that would have cost you a pretty penny to play officially until very recently. Trip World is an interesting platformer from Sunsoft that offers up a short but sweet experience. This release of the game does a full-on colorization job while also including a number of extras to dig into. It’s an excellent way to play this quirky, charming tale.

Final Fantasy Legend II – Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend ($19.99)

Time to wade into the compilations, and we’ll start with one that is all Game Boy games: Collection of SaGa. You get all three games in the Final Fantasy Legend series here, and they’re all really good handheld RPGs. I’m picking out Final Fantasy Legend II to highlight here, simply because I think it’s the best of the three. It has plenty of the weird mechanics that make SaGa games so interesting, but feels more well-rounded and approachable than the first game. Probably the best turn-based RPG on the system pre-Pokemon.

Final Fantasy Adventure – Collection of Mana ($39.99)

Going hand in hand with the Final Fantasy Legend games, Final Fantasy Adventure is the game that kicked off the long-running Mana series. As such, you’ll find it in the Collection of Mana with the two Super NES follow-ups. Again, all games worth playing. This action-RPG provided an excellent alternative to the superb Link’s Awakening on the system, with a snappy pace and some surprisingly ambitious storytelling. It’s been remade a couple of times, but there’s nothing quite like the original.

TMNT III: Radical Rescue – TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection ($39.99)

Konami did some great Game Boy games, and it has made a handful of them available through its various collections. The Cowabunga Collection has all three of its original Game Boy TMNT games included, and I think they all have their merits. The open-ended, pseudo-Metroidvania TMNT III: Radical Rescue is the pick of the bunch, though. Plenty of action as you would expect, but the additional layers from exploring the world, rescuing your brothers, and finding all the upgrades makes this one you can really sink your teeth into.

Operation C – Contra Anniversary Collection ($19.99)

After the somewhat tepid attempt to bring Castlevania to the Game Boy via Castlevania: The Adventure, one would be forgiven for thinking there was little hope the tense run-and-gun action of Contra would survive the transition. Surprisingly, Operation C turned out to be really awesome. Sure, you can’t play with another player. Strictly a solo affair. But it’s fast, fun, and challenging in the way you want a Contra game to be. Perhaps there was hope for Konami action-platformers on the handheld after all!

Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge – Castlevania Anniversary Collection ($19.99)

How’s that for foreshadowing? Yes, after mostly biffing the first Game Boy Castlevania game, Konami turned things around in a big way with Belmont’s Revenge. This is an excellent Castlevania game, one that easily hangs with the home console entries even if it can’t quite surpass them. Given it was sandwiched by some less-than-great games, it’s possible many players skipped out on this one thinking it would be the same. If you haven’t played it yet, here’s a handy way to do that.

Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great World Adventure – Ninja JaJaMaru: Retro Collection ($14.99)

Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great World Adventure isn’t the best game in this bunch by any means, but I think it’s an important representation of some of the more off-beat titles that filled out the library around the releases from huge publishers. Some proper work was put into this reissue, too. It has a new localization and has been colorized, giving a nice spit-shine to a game that might not have topped anyone’s lists for such an effort. While The Great World Adventure is the only Game Boy game in the lot, this collection is an interesting one to poke at in general.

Xtreme Sports ($9.99)

WayForward’s most famous wholly-original property on the Game Boy Color is obviously Shantae, but Xtreme Sports is no slouch either. Essentially a collection of sports mini-games tied together with an open world, Xtreme Sports is a lot better than it has any right to be. The graphics are good, the gameplay is great for pick-up-and-play grazing, and those looking to completely finish everything will find a stiff challenge ahead of them.

The Rescue of Princess Blobette – A Boy and His Blob Retro Collection ($9.99)

Another game that is here more for its unique feel than anything, The Rescue of Princess Blobette brings the home computer-esque puzzle-adventure gameplay of the NES original to the small screen quite well. In some ways it’s a more polished game than its predecessor, delivered in a more compact and well-paced form. If you like games that take some figuring out due to occasional bits of opacity, you’ll love this one.

And… 5 Game Boy and Game Boy Color Games We’d Like to See on Switch

Batman: The Video Game

Yes, it’s kind of weird that Batman is using a gun the whole way through this early Game Boy action game. But it’s also weird that Keaton’s Batman gleefully murders bad guys, so let’s just call it a sign of the times. The important thing is that this is another really great Sunsoft Batman game, and while I know the odds of any of these movie-based Batman games ever resurfacing are next to nil, I will never stop asking.

Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal

I’m generally avoiding games that I think might show up on Nintendo Switch Online at some point, which means most first-party Nintendo stuff is out. I really hope I’m wrong about this, but something tells me that while the Pokemon spin-offs will probably keep appearing in the subscription service, the mainline games won’t. Thus, I formally request the ability to purchase and play these fine Game Boy RPGs on my Switch.

Gradius: The Interstellar Assault

I waffled between including this or the excellent R-Type DX, but ultimately we have R-Type Dimensions on Switch to scratch that itch, whereas Gradius: The Interstellar Assault only exists in Game Boy form. For a platform whose display should have made it terrible for shooting games, the Game Boy had a good handful of excellent ones. This was Konami’s second kick at the Gradius can on the platform, and while that first one was fine this one really kicked things into gear. Honestly, I just kind of want a Gradius collection in the vein of Konami’s Contra, Castlevania, and TMNT ones. If that happens, this game ought to be in there.

Metal Gear Solid

Lots of Konami in this article, I’m coming to realize. Anyway, this is arguably the best third-party Game Boy Color exclusive. Just about everything that was great about the PlayStation Metal Gear Solid was somehow squeezed into this completely original adventure. This game completely blew me away at the time thanks to that fidelity, and it still impresses me today. Yes, much of the template was laid down in the MSX2 Metal Gear 2, but it’s cool to see something like this on a Game Boy Color. Maybe this will show up in the next Metal Gear collection?

Dragon Warrior Monsters

Pokemon spawned a lot of imitators, but to be fair to Dragon Quest it had monster-catching elements in the main games before Pokemon arrived. So, you know. We forgive you, King. Dragon Warrior Monsters is one of the better Game Boy games inspired by Pokemon‘s success, and I think it would be terrific to see it available on Switch. And you know what? It is available on Switch, but only in Japan. Come on, Square Enix. Just drop the Western ROM in the wrapper and help some Dragon Quest fans out!

And that’s the list, friends. Are there any Game Boy or Game Boy Color games you enjoy on the Switch? Any you would like to see? Feel free to sound off down in the comments and let us know what you’re thinking! It’s always interesting to hear the opinions of others on this kind of thing. As always, thanks for reading!

‘Rise Eterna War’, ‘As Per My Last Email’, Plus Today’s Other Releases and Sales – TouchArcade


Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 22nd, 2024. In today’s article, we continue to bear witness to the slow yet clear decline of Switch releases in this eighth year. It’s Thursday, but we don’t even have a dozen games worth mentioning today. Even among the ones we have, there isn’t anything that is jumping out. Sure, it’s August. Things are going to pick up soon. But it’s still odd to see such dry Thursdays, even at this time of the year. At least the sales are healthy. Let’s have a look at all of that!

Select New Releases

Verne – The Shape of Fantasy ($14.99)

Play as Jules Verne, who has been brought into a world sprung from his own imagination, in this adventure game. He’ll join forces with Captain Nemo as they try to fend off an evil force determined to destroy all imagination, which I reckon would be pretty bad. Solve puzzles, engage in dialogue, and enjoy the story. An interesting premise, and that’s a big part of the battle when it comes to this genre.

Rise Eterna War ($9.99)

A prequel story to Rise Eterna, this looks to be a base defense-style game to me. Build your team and use your limited resources to deploy them against the enemy. Seems fine for what it is, even if what it is isn’t terribly novel. With more than forty stages to play, it will keep you busy for a few days at least.

As Per My Last Email ($6.29)

One of those stress relief games. You’re an office worker and you have a sledgehammer. You can break pretty much everything in the office. Go for it. Play the ten-level campaign mode, or enjoy the infinite Mayhem Mode as you like. The affordable price is about right for the experience on offer.

Ring Sculptors ($14.99)

A choice-based narrative adventure where you pick from nine different characters and try to survive a trip to the Ring Sculptors’ base. On top of making choices at various points, there are also stats to manage, dice rolls to try to luck out on, and plenty of endings to uncover as a result.

Argol – Kronoss’ Castle ($8.99)

This is a side-scrolling action-platformer in the vein of games like Castlevania or Valis. You play as a sword-wielding warrior on a quest to vanquish evil. Or at least I presume that’s the story, anyway. All I know is that there is a fellow named Kronoss and his castle must be stormed. A decent game with a pretty lively soundtrack backing it. Nothing I’d run down the street yelling about, but it might scratch an itch.

Ataraxie ($4.99)

An affordable Metroidvania-style game starring a mummy. It’s really rough around the edges, but for the price you might not mind. I at least appreciate the novel protagonist. Shame about the ropey collision detection, though.

Arcade Archives The Ninja Kids ($7.99)

Taito’s 1990 beat ’em up featuring puppet ninjas is the latest Arcade Archives release. Up to four players can join in on the fun via local multiplayer, and that’s probably the best way to enjoy this one. Even going alone, the wacky tone makes this an enjoyable game to play through. The mechanics aren’t as tight as in the better titles in this genre from Capcom or Konami, but there’s some charm in the janky nature of it all.

Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch ($29.99)

Here’s a visual novel with some simulation elements. Maybe it isn’t right to call it a visual novel because of those elements? Forgive me if my choice of words isn’t on point. Your character ends up homeless on a mysterious island, and soon runs into a witch that is having some problems of her own. They decide to work together, and they’re eventually joined by several others. Can this rag-tag group survive Toyotoki Island and grow along the way? Play to find out! I should write box copy, I swear.

EGGCONSOLE Star Trader PC-8801mkIISR ($6.49)

When you think of Nihon Falcom, you definitely think of… shoot ’em ups? Okay, maybe not. But this one did happen back in the day, and as you might expect it’s not an orthodox take by any means. There are adventure game scenes mashed in with the shooting action here, and your skill at handling trading will determine your available funds for upgrades. Naturally, this is all in Japanese. EGGCONSOLE and all that. If I think it’s even remotely playable for someone who can’t understand the language, I’ll do a review soon.

HTC Launches “Viverse Create”, an Easy No-Code Metaverse Builder

HTC Launches “Viverse Create”, an Easy No-Code Metaverse Builder



HTC,  a Taiwanese tech firm has launched “Viverse Create,” a new platform that lets people build virtual worlds and games without needing any coding skills. The tool is part of HTC’s Viverse metaverse, and it allows users to create multiplayer experiences that work on VR headsets, mobile phones, and computers.

As a long-standing player in the virtual reality space, HTC’s earlier Vive series headsets and the Viveport platform set the stage for its metaverse efforts. With Viverse Create, HTC is expanding its focus to include easy-to-use tools for anyone interested in creating virtual spaces, even if they have no technical background.

What makes Viverse Create different is its simplicity. Users don’t need any coding knowledge to design their virtual worlds. In addition, they can easily share what they create through a secure link, making it simple for others to access without needing extra software or complicated setups.

Andranik Aslanyan, head of growth at HTC Viverse, highlighted how user-friendly the platform is, saying:

 Gone are the days of keeping your creations locked in your own virtual world. With Viverse Create, we’re giving creators the tools to create any world and share it with their friends, parents – even their grandparents – to experience with one simple, secure, joinable link.

Captains Cup’, ‘Jenny LeClue – Detectivu’ and More – TouchArcade


Each and every day new mobile games are hitting the App Store, and so each week we put together a big old list of all the best new releases of the past seven days. Back in the day the App Store would showcase the same games for a week, and then refresh those features each Thursday. Because of that developers got into the habit of releasing their games throughout Wednesday or very early Thursday in order to hopefully get one of those coveted features spots. Nowadays the App Store refreshes constantly, so the need for everyone to release all on the same day has diminished. Still, we’ve kept our weekly Wednesday night format as for years that’s the time people knew to check TouchArcade for the list of new games. And so without further ado please check out the full list of this week’s new games below, and let us know in the comments section which games you’ll be picking up!

PEACHMIND’s Dazzling Designs Are the New Must-Have in Luxury Jewelry – The Luxury Lifestyle Magazine

PEACHMIND’s Dazzling Designs Are the New Must-Have in Luxury Jewelry – The Luxury Lifestyle Magazine


Quality and affordability are two words jewelry lovers never thought they would see together. Thankfully, these days, it is finally possible. PEACHMIND is quickly becoming a must-have name in the collection of fashion-forward individuals, thanks to its pieces that combine casual elegance with great price points. 

Incredible and Timeless Designs

Made under the expert guidance of a former member of a world-famous New York jewelry brand’s creative team, PEACHMIND offers pieces that honor the artistry of jewelry-making. 

Each piece in their collection is meticulously crafted to reflect the latest fashion trends while maintaining a classic appeal that never goes out of style. This way, the jewelry complements the latest outfits yet remains a cherished part of any collection for years.

The brand’s designers draw inspiration from various sources, including art, nature, and global trends, to create unique and versatile pieces. Whether a statement necklace or a delicate bracelet, PEACHMIND’s jewelry is designed to make the wearer feel confident.

The Art of Gold Vermeil

Unlike many competitors who opt for thinner layers of 14K gold, PEACHMIND uses a thick layer of 18K gold vermeil. This improves its pieces’ durability and gives them a luxurious appearance that rivals solid gold jewelry. The result is a collection of stunning pieces that last a long time.

As noted, PEACHMIND pays meticulous attention to detail. Each piece undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure the gold plating is even and flawless. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that every piece of jewelry meets the highest quality standards.

The brand also offers a three-year warranty on all its products, which is longer than the industry standard of two years. This extended warranty reflects the brand’s confidence in the durability of its jewelry. Customers can wear their PEACHMIND pieces with the assurance that they invest in long-lasting quality.

Additionally, PEACHMIND’s customer service is second to none. The brand guarantees 12-hour fast shipping. This level of service is particularly appealing since timely delivery can significantly impact customer satisfaction.

Capturing the Millennial and Gen Z Market

PEACHMIND has effectively tapped into the preferences of Millennial and Gen Z consumers, who value style and substance. These younger demographics are also drawn to the brand’s commitment to sustainability, using eco-friendly packaging and ethical production practices.

The brand also has a strong online presence and active social media engagement, further enhancing its appeal to younger audiences. This allowed PEACHMIND to build a loyal following and position the brand for continued growth and success.

Affordable jewelry that does not compromise quality or style might seem as rare as a diamond, but brands like PEACHMIND prove such treasures exist. With its pieces that sparkle with elegance and modern flair, the brand is turning the elusive into the accessible.

Legends, Vampire Survivors, Simon’s Cat, and More – TouchArcade


Following yesterday’s big Disney Dreamlight Valley update on Apple Arcade and other platforms, a few more notable games on Apple’s gaming service have gotten big updates. Alongside its standalone release, Vampire Survivors+ got a new stage, secrets, character skins, and more. Read about this update here. TMNT Splintered Fate on Apple Arcade now supports couch co-op on the save device and also online co-op with cross platform support.

Outlanders’ Volume VI of the Outlanders Chronicles: Wandering Stars is now live with six new playable leaders and more.

Pocket Camp’ Shutting Down This November, New Paid Game Set To Release With Save Transfer – TouchArcade


Nintendo just announced that Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp (Free) is shutting down on November 28th at 3 PM UTC. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp debuted on iOS and Android nearly seven years ago, and it has since received multiple content and feature updates. From November 28th, you will no longer be able to play this version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, but the team is developing a version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp for mobile with save carrying over. This will be a flat-fee paid version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Social aspects from the original game will not be available here. Details for the new paid app are here. A full release date announcement for the paid app will be made around October. Check out the full announcement below:

While this is good news for those playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp since we rarely see games like this get paid standalone releases, I can’t help but be annoyed that Nintendo didn’t do something like this for Dragalia Lost. That game deserved so much better. At least I still have the music from it. Either way, you can play Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on iOS and Android right now ahead of it shutting down in November. I’m curious to see how the paid version feels when it launches. Check out our forum thread for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp here. Do you still play Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp regularly and what do you think of today’s news?

When we talk about cards in Rush Royale, so many people say that you need legendary cards to win matches because Legendary Cards are more powerful full. Yes, they are powerful but the truth is that you do not need legendary matches to win matches and there are plenty of alternatives to them Like Engineer, Bombardier, Vampire, Sentry, Wind Archer, Thunderer, Crystalmanser, Plague Doctor, etc.

So, in this article, we have listed the Top 5 Rush Royale Best Cards below, after trying out the best possible ones.

The Engineer is an Epic card in Rush Royale and you can unlock him at 900 Trophies from trophy road. He is the perfect DPS card in the game, and everyone uses this card around 1250 to 2000 trophies rage.

If you are in Arena 5 or above this card should be a must in your deck. This card comes in the Top Tier List of rush royale. Engineer is a very good card for Arena 7 and Arena 8 players.

Rush Royale Best Cards

Bombardier is a Common card in Rush Royale and you can unlock him at 1650 Trophies from trophy road, Bombardier is the best Coop card, he will help you in every stage of the game.  Bombardier has the ability to stun a boss or monsters.

Bombardier is a very good supporting card if you have an Inquisitor Legendary card in your card collection.

Bombardier does target the first unit in a wave, it will target the NEXT unit in a wave as soon as it has stunned the first unit. Bombardier can let you kill Bedlam BEFORE it has the chance to ruin your board.

4.) Vampire

The vampire is an epic card in Rush Royale and you can unlock him at Arena 5. Vampire bites the target and gives you mana, this card is very for generating extra for your advantage. This is the best card of rush royale for Arena 7 and Arena 8 Players

Rush Royale Sharpshooter

5.) Sharpshooter

Sharpshooter is a rare card and you can unlock him at 1750 Trophies from trophy road, Sharpshooter is a good choice for F2P.

Sharpshooter does massive damage at max level. You can use him in both PvP and Coop and If you use sharpshooter in your deck keep in mind that he only attacks max health monster.

Sharpshooter is good for Arena 4, Arena 5 players.

6.) Sentry

The Sentry is a rare unit that attacks the first target. His damage gradually increases in 10% increments to a maximum. As a damaged unit the merge rank only increases the attack speed by: Attack speed/merge rank. For example, a merge rank 3 hits three times faster than a merge rank 1.

Rush Royale Best Beginner Deck

If you are in arena 2 or arena 3 I will recommend you to play with Archer / Poisoner / Lightning Mage / Fire Mage / Ice Mage Deck. This deck is very good for low-level arena players.

Rush Royale Decks Arena 3

If you have an Engineer in your card collection, you can replace it with Poisoner.

Rush Royale Vampire Plague Doctor Bombardier Deck

Rush Royale Vampire Plague Doctor Bombardier Deck Card Roles:

Vampire: At the beginning of the game you always want either 2 stages 1 Vampire or 1 stage 2 vampire. In addition, you also want to make sure you have at least 1 zealot before leveling up a vampire. The vampire is fantastic mana acceleration which helps speed the deck up and powers up zealot.

Rush Royale Engineer Deck without Legendary Cards for Mid Arena Players.

Tips for this Rush Royale Engineer Deck:

Try having only one Portal Keeper in the field since they don’t do much damage and their only use is to connect Engineers with each other.

Never level up (in-game) the Portal Keeper since the level-ups don’t increase his damage that much and he is not a damage type unit.

When it comes to leveling up in-game I would suggest prioritizing Chemist and Engineer, for more damage and armor reduction.

Don’t panic merge! If you see that enemies are over-running you, choose to merge Portal Keeper units and Vampire units first since they don’t deal a lot of damage.
