The viral sensation Suika Game (which you might also know as Watermelon Game) has released a special update for the Nintendo Switch in the form of "Summer Skins DLC" update.
This DLC comes packed with four skins in total including "fireworks display", "summer holiday", "sunset beach" and "sunflower farm". In addition to this are also new versions of Poppy and the boxes with each new skin. A special game start screen, and an exclusive animated background skin featuring BGM is also featured.
"Suika Game is back with a sweet surprise! Celebrate summer with a special skin set! This sunny set includes the Fireworks Display, Summer Holiday, Sunset Beach, and Sunflower Farm skins"
Each of these skins can be purchased for $1.79 USD (or your regional equivalent) from the Switch eShop or Nintendo's website.
Suika Game was originally released on the Switch in Japan in 2021. It followed with a local release in October last year, and in May of this year received a paid DLC update adding online multiplayer - allowing players with a Switch Online subscription to take on the world. Local multiplayer has also been added to the game as part of the multiplayer DLC bundle.

FINALLY some new in-game music 🥲
Picking up Fireworks display ASAP!
This is great, but why do the skins have to be so expensive...
Should they be called peels instead of skins since the game is about fruit? I guess the fruits themselves remain unchanged.
@LadyCharlie I mean, yes, quickie reskins for a combined price of almost triple that of the game (and they're not the only DLC) is pretty excessive.
@Lizuka Oh snap, I thought it was one purchase for all 4 skins. But you're right - I just checked the eshop, and they're all sold separately.
Yeah you're right, that's pretty weird.
@LadyCharlie Yeah, there's no reason why a simple cosmetic swap should cost roughly the same as the entire multiplayer mode
Whilst a nice idea, these are definitely overpriced. It's clear this is a mobile game, with mobile game "micro"transactions. Remember when they put in a free Halloween skin, then removed it again in a future update?
@TheRazzBerry Oh you're right, and I agree with you. Thank you (and @Lizuka too) for clarifying the price on these.
Buying all four skins ends up being more expensive than the game itself, and that's not a great look.
Is the fruit different, or are these just backgrounds?
Quite like this game to mess around with and dip in and out of.
Form nice litttle indienhit to milking out the last cents
@Thomystic Surely skin is best since its a term we all already use for this type of content and a lot of fruit has skin...!
No interest in paying more on this game. I'm also very confused as to how it takes this long to release such minor DLC? Is this the person being slow or a sign of how painful Nintendo's eShop processes are?!
Doubt I'll get them anytime soon considering their price and especially me not having played Suika Game yet but still, these are all great and funnily enough in the image they're in the exact order of my preference!
Oh wow! That people are able to get money with such ugly designs is incredible. And in 2024, I mean it would have been 1997, those may have looked OK by then. But again, how this game became so popular is far far beyond my understanding.
But don't mind me, I had to buy it for my kid, and she was done after playing with it for 20 mins. So glad I won't have to participate in more rip off!
I like the game, and I'd love new BGM... but not at that price!
