I have spent enough years covering games to know when a sale actually matters, and this one does. It’s looking like a proper cross platform clearance out there, the kind where great games quietly slip to prices they have no right being at. I have played most of these, finished plenty of them, and a few still live rent free in my head years later.

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 21st birthday of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, a GBA classic. Though initially the concept of an RPG meshing (sometimes pantsless) anthropomorphic Disney animals with Final Fantasy favourites sounded goofier than, well… Goofy, gamers loved it. To keep that enthusiasm going, a direct sequel was commissioned for handheld to bridge the inaugural KH and its forthcoming numbered sequel. In terms of production values and content, it was one of the most features-packed cartridges for the system, with full-motion video (!!!), an engrossing storyline, addictive real-time card combat, and link-cable-enabled 2P battles to boot.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
- Borderlands 3 Ult. (-51%) A$44.10 A ridiculous amount of content packed into one bundle, with mountains of guns, loud humour, and DLC that easily justifies the price.
- Sonic Frontiers (-51%) A$49.10 Sega finally cracked open zone Sonic, and the result is fast, flexible, and far more thoughtful than it first appears.
- Dragon Ball FighterZ (-50%) A$44.90 Still one of the best looking fighters ever made, with speed, spectacle, and genuine competitive depth.
- Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (-41%) A$47.00 Fan service done right, expanding Three Houses lore through satisfying musou combat.
- Loop Hero (-77%) A$5.20 A hypnotic roguelike that turns automation into obsession and somehow never stops being clever.
