In the gaming cosmos, there is an incessant hum that keeps hobbyist and hardcore gamer alike restless – the primal drive to land the best deals on gaming systems and titles currently in circulation. On the cusp of the tail end of the fiscal year, a time second only to the holiday season in terms of sheer spectacle in its deals offerings, there is no better time for the gaming population to hone their hunting skills, as final quarter diminutions await in the darkest recesses of store aisles and digital marketplaces. After all, it’s also holiday season – and who doesn’t love free stuff?
Get to the heart of value adding, and the buzz of gaming history, with a celebration of the company that helped shape so much of our gaming history: NINTENDO. Here’s your guide to sales-day culture, gaming-retro culture, and one hell of a value-filled haul.
As we start on this journey, we’d be remiss not to celebrate a gaming anniversary. While it doesn’t have much of a wow factor accompanying it, Starwing’s (aka Star Fox’s) 31st anniversary today marks the beginning of a new era of NINTENDO. Not only did it bring 3D gaming to a home console for the first time using the Super FX chip, but it also promised the future of console gaming. If you’re ready to wipe off your goggles and go slug-running once more, or want to experience what set the stage for modern gaming, an adventure in space awaits with Fox McCloud and gang.
With the financial year drawing to a close, for NINTENDO Switch owners there is no time like the present to bolster your library, especially as there are great deals to be had and the novelty of lockdown hasn’t well and truly worn off. Whatever your tastes – from the slow burn of an RPG’s rich story and grand world, to the cut-and-thrust of fighting games, to the serene simple pleasures of a life sim, it’s all here, waiting.
Thinking of Switching? Right now, this is a great time to go NINTENDO. Use your console both at home and on the go with this flexible piece of gaming hardware that changed the way we play. Check back for bundles that come with the console, as well as all your favourite games and accessories!
The PC side of gaming is no slouch in the bargain biz, either, with both high-end custom gaming rigs and indie diamonds in the rough available for rock-bottom prices. For those early in their PC gaming hobby, now is the time to sample the vast back catalogue of PC-exclusive titles, or upgrade your setup to keep pace with your evolving, loftier gaming goals.
For Xbox fans, there’s never been a better time to stock up on games and membership savings, or to finally try out Xbox Game Pass, which continues to set the bar in value for the gaming industry.
PlayStation isn’t far behind if you’re wearing the Sony cape, with plenty of offers for console gamers to stay up to date with exclusive blockbusters or missing out on a subscription to PlayStation Plus multiplayer service, along with a free game a month.
While the entire world was moving forward, they remained timeless, NINTENDO’s ability to please never waning: At first, they invented card games. Then, in 1985, they created the first video game. Now, they’ve created the first gamers. Forever. In these anniversary editions of classic titles and the sales that accompany them, we are reminded that gaming isn’t so much about the power of the photos or even the prowess of the polygons, but about the moments that we share, and the memories that we make. What makes NINTENDO such a resonant part of our culture? With that legacy behind it, and with a history of being first into the minds of a new generation – NINTENDO remains the king of making magic.
Thus, when you traipse off to bargain shop and go have fun with games, keep in mind the wonders that lie both in and out of the box – on or off the screen, because in the world of games, and in the world of NINTENDO, every day is a day that can unfold into a new world, a new challenge, and most of all: play!
