Well, there are no two ways about it. This is a Tuesday where your backlog explodes thanks to my usual scorching list of game savings. On Nintendo Switch, a discount Shin Megami Tensei V beckons with its dark, apocalyptic Tokyo, and PC fans can tangle with a 9ft tall vampire lady for less in Resident Evil Village.
Meanwhile on Xbox, a seriously reduced Suicide Squad is worth it purely for the touching Kevin Conroy tribute within. And I’ll always shout my love from the rooftops of Stormveil Castle for a lower-priced Elden Ring on PS5 (or anywhere else).
This Day in Gaming 🎂
Today, in Games That Nearly Broke Me As a Child news, it’s the 31st birthday of Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. My memories of playing this at launch were equal parts love (for its graphics, music, and best-in-series subject matter) mixed with that full spectrum of dark side emotions (fear, anger, and hate). Make no mistake, this cartridge was 12 Megabits of crotch kicks where one’s existence was always on a lightsaber’s edge.
Worse yet, even though there was a password system, skipping past the mid-game Dagobah section and the powerful Jedi Power pickups within (e.g. Force Healing) would invariably make your life hell in the endgame. But what a finale it was, friends—I’ll never forget the pure, patricidal pleasure of defying movie canon to defeat Vader.
