Another Thursday, another unexpected avalanche of discounts worth digging yourself out from under. Whether you’re chasing co-op chaos, heartstring-pulling indies, or high-octane epics with triple-A swagger, this week’s cross-platform sales bin is brimming with picks that are equal parts wallet-friendly and critically adored. There’s never been a better time to equip your wallet.
This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I’m using a rocket start to light a 17-candle cake for Mario Kart Wii. I played the pedals off this pioneering entry, which added motorbikes, a trick-based drifting system, and the worldwide MP of Nintendo Wi-Fi online. Admittedly, my heart belongs to Mario Kart 64 above all, but I still couldn’t put my Wii Steering Wheel down for months (another series first addition).
Beloved for its colourful track designs, iconic character roster, and upbeat soundtrack, Mario Kart Wii delivered the perfect blend of whimsy and competition. The revamped Battle Mode arenas rekindled classic head-to-head fun, making every match a chaotic joy. Its accessible pick-up-and-play mechanics ensured newcomers could dive in instantly, yet there was depth in drifting and item-strategy.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Switch players can scoop up Spiritfarer for a frankly ludicrous A$6. This moving indie has you ferrying souls to the afterlife, and fun fact: the devs from Thunder Lotus consulted grief counsellors to help shape its tone (so keep the Kleenex handy). Meanwhile, It Takes Two (A$34) remains a co-op masterclass that might just save your relationship with a significant other. Or destroy it. Chigurh-level coin toss!

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Gold Edition is down to A$49, a hefty drop for a visually stunning open-worlder built in The Division’s Snowdrop engine. And for a bite-sized bargain, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (A$15) serves pulpy Nazi-punching with a B-movie edge. MachineGames originally pitched it as DLC, but had too much fun and turned it into a standalone. You’ll find out why.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
PlayStation 5 owners should note Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is just A$41. The game went viral for protagonist Jack’s single-minded love of punching “Chaos”, an inside joke now fully embraced by Square Enix. Also worth grabbing: Judgment (A$28), a Yakuza spin-off so stylish that it reignited actor Takuya Kimura’s TV career in Japan.

PC folks can’t miss Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak for A$19 and a titanic 79% off. The expansion added Silkbind skills, elevating mobility to anime levels. Or you should try Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (A$56), an artsy newcomer with brushstroke visuals and turn-based flair. It wasn’t on my radar, initially, but it’s flashing like a big ol’ blimp now.
