Hello everyone and welcome to the week! It’s time again for a recap of the notable updates of the past seven days. A fairly standard selection this time, which means a few Apple Arcade games, a few normal faces, and a few lesser seen ones. Hopefully this results in a pleasant mix of titles to start your week with. Of course, you can keep an eye out for updates yourself by participating in the TouchArcade forums. This weekly recap is just there to let you know about the things you may have missed. Here we go!
MARVEL revolution of the future, Free Let’s start by looking at updates for a few Marvel games. After all, it’s a decent warm-up material. future revolution is the first of the two, with a new companion in the form of Kate Bishop, a new Battle Challenge expansion, and a new PEGASUS base feature called Core Booster. What does it make? Probably increases cores. There are a few other small improvements here, but the most noticeable parts of this new version are mostly focused on the Kate Bishop event.
Marvel Contest of Championsfree The second Marvel game with a major update is competition of champions, and it’s a violent event, largely related to America Chavez’s friends arriving on the battlefield. Wiccan and Hulkling join the fight as Strikers, and they’re damn good at it. Wiccan has teamed up with the Super-Skrull to try to track down Hulkling, who has been captured by Ronan The Accuser. Why? I suppose you just have to ask. A number of updates have been made in Acts 5 and 6 and a number of other UI and balance improvements have been made.
Jetpack JoyrideFree Back to star trek event, right? Sure, why not? Grab the spaceship jetpack, hop in your Starfleet mech, collect some of your favorite characters from the series and try not to die too fast. Check out the new Traveller shuttle vehicle and the jetpacks Phaser and Borg Cube. Some new vehicle skins, some new backgrounds, you know how it all works. It’s cool, but I can’t say that cycling through replays with this game is very exciting. Oh well.
Fire Emblem HeroesFree It’s time for the biannual update too Fire Emblem Heroes, with Aether Raids taking up most of the attention here. Mayhem Season begins on June 21st, and with it comes some new terrain for Aether Raids and the Aether Resort. Some adjustments have been made to the Summoner Duels replay feature, and the Arena has received some small balance adjustments. The Book VI Midpoint celebrations have also begun, so check them out if you’re curious.
zookeeper world, I suppose this game has to step in for this week’s mandatory free-to-play matching puzzle update. No room for a more conventional choice. There are ten new puzzle levels to play in this latest version, which is not as big as we usually see. However, we’re also getting the new Baby Animal Park, complete with the new Baby Monkey and Baby Panda animals. There is also a new mini-game called Super Lap Challenge where you have to try to drive without crashing. That shouldn’t be too hard, right? Right.
NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition, basically one of those maintenance style updates. Rosters are updated, some bugs are fixed, things like that. But hey, if you like basketball enough to play this game, roster updates are something you probably care a lot about. I’m kind of at a loss as to how to fill in the rest of this paragraph other than hanging a lampshade on my inability to fill in the paragraph and thereby filling in the paragraph. Wow I can’t believe this worked. However, I can only use this card once a week, so let’s hope I have more to say about the rest of the list.
Subway surfersFree Die Subway surfers are headed to San Francisco to show some pride. The new surfer is called Super Runner Tricky and I can’t help but think her parents chose her destiny with that name. She and her trickster board are ready to tackle the Super Runner Staged Challenge event. Play through the Season Hunt and you’ll unlock a new version of a popular surfer, Pride Miss Maia.
PAC-MAN Party Royale, Bye, Weekly Challenges. Hello festivals. The new Festival Seasons offer more rewards than ever before, including new outfits and outfit sets, new emotes, XP boosters, and more. Each Season lasts two months and playing Battle Arena matches earns you Festival XP to unlock prizes. Complete the non-challenge daily and weekly goals to get closer and closer to all those sweet rewards. After all, if you think Pac Man, don’t you think of fancy Pac-Man outfits? As natural as can be.
Bacon – The Game, Free The game based on the movie based on the game based on the book based on the food based on the animal based on the original screenplay based on nothing at all has a fresh new update and that means more stuff to toss bacon on . There’s also a new carrot dangling for bacon flipping devils. Apparently, if you manage to beat every single level in the game, you can have a small gift sent straight to your home from the developer. After giving them your address of course. They’re not watching you right now or anything. That… that would be stupid! Ha ha. Do not open the curtains, everything is fine. Look, I’m giving the game the coveted one UMMSotW award for this week and that is no diversionary tactics!
Zen pinball party,
Zen pinball party is constantly expanding its selection of pinball tables, with the latest being another creation from the Williams catalogue. junkyard was originally released in 1996 and was designed by Barry Oursler and Dwight Sullivan. True to its name, it has a junkyard theme and includes some fun toys and gimmicks. A bit random to be sure, but a lot of fun to have.
This concludes the important updates of the last week. However, I’m sure I’ve missed a few, so don’t hesitate to comment below and let everyone know if you think something should be mentioned. As usual, important updates will likely get their own messages later this week, and I’ll be back next Monday to wrap up and fill in the blanks. Have a great week!
