This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m lighting 22 candles for Sonic Adventure DX, the high-speed 3D platformer that burst onto the GameCube in 2003. Back then, the excitement was real. This wasn’t just a basic port of the Dreamcast hit. It came with a stack of extra missions, a playable Metal Sonic skin (!!!), and a gallery of visual upgrades that brought a glossier look to familiar levels.
Sure, the camera had a mind of its own, and Big the Cat’s fishing stages were divisive at best, but it still felt fresh. DX kept Sonic relevant during a weird transitional time for Sega, and for fans like me, it scratched a nostalgic itch at just the right moment.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo is swinging with a rare price drop on Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, a musou-style spin-off where Byleth is actually the villain. The devs revealed they initially planned three endings, but the darker one was so bleak it got scrapped. Meanwhile, What Remains of Edith Finch is a bargain at under eight bucks. Fun fact: the Finch family’s bizarre deaths were inspired by classic tragicomic literature like One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
On Xbox Series X, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is absurdly cheap. Bioware confirmed they considered giving Shepard a full voice-over customiser, but scrapped it due to memory limits on original hardware.

On PC, Dead Space is an absolute steal at under twenty bucks. When remaking the game, EA Motive used NASA audio archives to help shape the vacuum soundscape—those eerie silences are scientifically accurate. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor also features a hefty 80 percent discount. Look closely at BD-1’s animations: they were inspired by the twitchy, curious movements of meerkats observed during on-site visits to wildlife sanctuaries.
