Suika Game Gets a Christmas Skin on Switch for the Holidays

Aladdin X announced that there is now a Christmas skin in effect in Suika Game (Watermelon Game) on the Switch. It is available as of December 21, 2023, following a download of the latest update.

This is a purely cosmetic skin for Suika Game. It doesn’t change any of the gameplay or alter any of the items you’ll be matching. So it will still be all about pairing up cherries, strawberries, grapes, and so on until you eventually get watermelons, which you then match to remove them and boost your score. However, the watermelon itself will look different when this holiday skin is in effect. 

While playing Suika Game, pressing the left or right triggers will let you switch to the new Christmas skin on the main menu. In addition to the main menu looking different, you’ll see a game scene with Christmas trees around and a candy cane-lined box. The watermelon in this skin holds a candy cane and has other decorations on it. The music is also different to fit the season.

Here are some official screenshots showing how different it looks when someone changes to the new skin.

This comes after the game hit major milestones. In October 2023, it reached two million downloads. Then in December 2023, it got to three million.

Suika Game is available on the Nintendo Switch. The Christmas skin is available now, and there’s no end date for it yet. A knock-off version called The Suika Game appears to be headed to the PlayStation Store.
