The widely popular online puzzle game, “Suika Game,” also known as “Watermelon Game,” has just received an exciting update on the Nintendo Switch platform. This update brings new language support in English, Korean, and Chinese, adding accessibility to a broader audience. Additionally, players can immerse themselves in a spooky Halloween theme and enjoy fresh background music, providing a more engaging gaming experience.
While “Suika Game” may not be as prominently featured as major releases like “Baldur’s Gate 3” or “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” it has made a significant impact within the gaming community over the past month. In this charming game, players are tasked with filling a box with adorable, expressive fruits. To score points, these fruits must be paired, transforming into larger fruits. For example, combining two cherries creates a strawberry, while two strawberries produce a bunch of grapes, with the ultimate goal of creating a watermelon. However, when the box overflows with fruit, the game ends.
Initially, “Suika Game” was exclusively available for download from the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop, requiring players to create a Japanese account for access. However, the game was introduced to the US and UK eShops on October 20. Initially, it was only available in Japanese, but the latest update, rolled out overnight, has introduced multilingual support. Players can now select their preferred language by navigating to the bottom option on the main menu, enhancing accessibility for non-Japanese speakers.
As October comes to a close, a new Halloween theme has been incorporated into the game. This theme can be toggled on or off directly from the main menu. It features a spooky purple background and transforms the watermelons into pumpkins. Furthermore, the Halloween mode introduces a different music track, providing a refreshing change for those who found the original looping song somewhat repetitive. These additions are sure to add excitement and variety to the gameplay for both new and experienced players.
“Suika Game” has quickly gained popularity, and these updates promise to make it even more enjoyable for players of all backgrounds, with its engaging puzzle mechanics and now, multilingual support, along with a touch of Halloween-themed fun.
