I have spent more hours than I care to admit bouncing between wishlists, review builds, and half finished save files, so when a sale lineup actually stops me mid scroll, I pay attention. This batch does exactly that, mixing genuine classics with a few pleasant surprises that feel underpriced on purpose. I have played most of these on release or close to it, and several of them still live rent free in my head.<\/p>\n

This Day in Gaming \ud83c\udf82<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
In retro news I’m using a Bob-omb to light a 26-candle cake baked for Super Smash Bros.<\/strong>, the N64 brawler that stole all my heart containers at launch. I have vivid memories of introducing this multi-fest to my rotating crew of a dozen or so buddies who were already well addicted to the 4P chaos of Mario Kart<\/strong>, GoldenEye<\/strong>, and the WCW vs. nWo<\/strong> series. Needless to say, this hooked us quicker than a point blank chainshot grab from Link.<\/p>\n
How could you not? It had the simple concept of making iconic Ninty characters beat the absolute snot out of one another via an easy-to-pick-up yet deceptively deep fighting system.

Hell, I still think thwacking idiots into orbit <\/em>with a Homerun Bat remains one of the most satisfying sensations in all of video gaming.<\/p>\n
