If you haven't given the puzzle game Magical Drop VI a go on the Switch yet, now might be the perfect time. The second free DLC was recently released and in celebration, the game is currently half price. The usual cost is $29,99 / €29,99 / 3,299 円 (or the regional equivalent).
This second season of the game comes loaded with three new characters (Hierophant, Judgement, and Father Strength) each with their own characteristics. There's also a multiplayer lobby (for up to 8 players) and a spectator mode, as well as the ability to create custom matches.
This second free update follows on from the free Season one update in November 2023, which added the three new characters (Star, Magician, and Emperor), the Room of Fortune, and Room of Records. Here's a bit about this latest entry in the series, if you haven't played it before:
"The legendary Japanese Arcade game is back! Choose your favorite character - will it be World, the Overseer of the Magical Land, the mighty Justice or the devious Black Pierrot? - and play in one of the numerous game modes available. Solve diabolical puzzles or beat strong opponents in versus matches. Play through an exciting adventure full of twists and turns, in Story or Path of Destiny modes. Challenge your friends and the best players online."
Some of the earlier Magical Drop games are also available on via Hamster's ACA NEOGEO collection on Switch eShop.

Hey I know about this series. Had no idea it got a new entry.
I forgot about this. Will there be a review for this?
Don't know if I'll be able to get it during this sale, but eventually for sure and regardless, love to see it getting free DLC!
I'm pretty sure I have this game in the depths of my backlog of games only briefly touched. I downloaded this having enjoyed MD II & III, if Swiss cheese memory serves me. I remember intially finding it nails for some reason but I'll just have to go back and concentrate harder. There's not may reviews out there of the game. I think it averages around 75-78%.
I think Magical Drop 3 on PS1 Japan is the best option to play.
It has ALL characters and two different Modes which I prefer the Special Mode for having different drop pattern for each characters, unlike Arcade mode.
IIRC, if you choose Death as your character, she will drop a single line frozen gems from above in Special Mode.
I’m still waiting on my physical copy to arrive. It was supposed to ship last September, but another game in the order from PlayAsia kept getting delayed.
