Thank the gaming Gods, it’s Friday! I have a ton of new deals for you, in addition to the downshifting Amazon Big Smile Sale. I should also like to point out that it’s the Aussie birthday of the Nintendo 3DS. This celebration is muted, however, by the fact that its online store was shuttered two days ago. 12 years on, and my launchy hasn’t skipped a beat. Top innings. Off to gaming Valhalla with you, sweet prince.
Go proudly into the halls of your handheld forefathers.
Not a discount by any means, just a fetching peripheral that’s recently been made available to buy. If the previous Zelda themed controllers were anything to go by (read: the Skyward Sword Joy-Cons), there’s a good to fair chance these will sell out.
Quick note: this is only $4 higher than the 2022 historical low. Mass Effect is a great series with a questionable dismount. Personally, I’d buy this purely for the majesty of Mass Effect 2. Phenomenal RPGing.
You fence-sitters should be fully swayed by the recent Far Cry 5 update that adds 60fps to its current gen versions. Me? I’m going to buy two of these, so I can cheaply play 2P campaign co-op with the heir to my throne of games.
10/10. Viva Las Plagas. we say. Resident Evil 4 is like a parasite-riddled Spaniard: a total no-brainer. And it’s only set to get better with a Mercenaries mode patch in, plus PS VR2 support of some description.
