Welcome back to paying a little for a whole lot. Case in point(s): MGS Collection, 1TB XSX Storage, and some apex PS Resis going for way cheaper than usual. I’ve also spotted some uncommonly low Switch first-party titles, which are sure to be snapped up quick. So maybe run-jump at them fast.
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 21st bday of Animal Crossing. This was it, campers—the OG concept that somehow pivoted from failed 64DD dungeon-crawling RPG to a non-linear life sim where Nintendo tried to humorously warn me about mortgages being an absolute racket. (Joke’s on them; can’t even get one now.) Nevertheless, this game delighted the hardcore and casuals alike—personally, I was sold by the fishing and 19-odd (free!!!) NES games. From this blueprint, AC spawned a 6-game empire that’s still going strong today with 81M copies sold, which must be a buttload of bells.
