Welcome, my friends, to the party. A super Mario party (in the form of a 9/10 Switch jamboree), plus the usual bargains bash I throw. Some deals that pique my personal interest include Mass Effect Legendary, It Takes Two, and the Metro Saga Bundle, all for around 14 bucks. Insane value for money. Get amongst ’em if you somehow haven’t already.
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 32nd birthday of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, a Master System must-own. Much to Sega’s credit, this wasn’t some sort of half-arsed, shoehorned-down port of its Mega big brother. Rather, we got a brand spanking 8-bitventure with new Zones, boss battles, and, for some reason, hang gliding levels? The only blemish I remember: somebody thought speed-nerfing water levels ought to come over from the 16-bit blueprint, annnd they sucked harder than a Robotnik-grade Vacuum Bot.
