The sales bin is bursting this week, and if you listen closely, you might even hear the cling of cartoon loot being pinched under moonlight. From modern epics to reimagined classics, there’s a grab bag of deals that stretches across platforms and genres. No matter your console of choice, there’s something here worth adding to cart before the savings vanish like a stealthy pickpocket.
This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I’m lighting a 34-candle cake for the arcade version of Bonanza Bros., the split-screen stealther I played the pins off of on Mega Drive. This side-on heist ‘em up from 1990 put players in control of Mobo and Robo, two suave, bug-eyed burglars with a knack for lootin’, lockpickin’, and layin’ cops out by violently opening doors into them.
Back then, Bonanza Bros. stood out for its co-op gameplay and comical visual style, which blended slapstick with high-stakes thievery. It was part sneaking, part shooter, and entirely charming. The way it merged Metal Gear-style infiltration with arcade-speed reflexes gave it a distinct identity; one that would quietly echo in everything from Sly Cooper to Monaco: What’s Yours Is Mine decades later.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Over on Switch, Super Mario RPG drops its price like a Thwomp, making now a great time to revisit the Squaresoft and Nintendo collab that first introduced timed hits to Mario combat. Also worth a look is It Takes Two, the only game to win Game of the Year with mandatory co-op and a scene-stealing book voiced by Josef Fares himself. That’s the same man who once flipped off the Oscars live on stage, just in case you’d forgotten.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Xbox Series X players can snag RoboCop: Rogue City for less than a servo meat pie, and its lead, Peter Weller, actually returned to voice the character after years away from the role. Meanwhile, Tekken 8 throws down with a story mode that, in true Mishima tradition, involves volcanoes, shirtless grudge matches, and at least one betrayed family member.

On PS5, Elden Ring rides back into relevance, hot on the heels of its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Also worth a look is Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, which restores concept art from the late and great Warren Spector’s original dark Disney vision.
