Welcome to another full week of wall-to-wall savings. As per always, I’ve scoured every store worth trusting to find nothing but the games worth playing at the prices they probably should have been to begin with. I’ve also taken the time to relist that Forza Horizon 4 delist deal. Given the weird way Microsoft is sunsetting things, it seems the Ultimate Edition really is the way to go.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 29th birthday of the Sega Saturn, a commercial failure that still holds a special place in the sub-cockles of my heart. What did it in? Complex hardware design that hindered the harnessing of its 3D capabilities, limited third-party support, and the suits severely underestimated the upstart Sony PlayStation. Be that as it may, us Saturn tragics ate well for a time, thanks to (mostly) high-quality Sega Model 2 arcade ports and exclusives like NiGHTS, Guardian Heroes, Burning Rangers, and the Panzer Dragoon series.
