502 Studios has announced that 502’s Arcade, an anthology of fast-paced arcade games, is in the works for Switch. Other than “coming soon”, we do not have a release window at this time.
502’s Arcade tasks players with reaching the top of the leaderboards (Daily, Weekly, and All time) in the different included titles. Gameplay types include a dungeon crawler set in a procedural generated temple where you have to seal spirits, a puzzle where you have to prepare the orders of a hectic potions shop, and more. Difficulty varies by game, though players can earn lots of achievements along the way.
