13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim ($14.99 from $59.99)

A captivating blend of side-scrolling adventure and real-time strategy, 13 Sentinels unfolds in an alternate 1985. Thirteen individuals from different eras must combat invading kaiju using powerful mechs. The narrative is compelling, and the presentation is top-notch, although the RTS elements are somewhat less refined. A hidden gem well worth its discounted price.

Persona Collection ($44.99 from $89.99 until 9/10)

An incredible value! This collection includes Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal—three exceptional RPGs. At $15 per game, it's a steal, offering hundreds of hours of gameplay and heartwarming tales of friendship.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R ($12.49 from $49.99)

While other platforms offer a smoother 60fps experience, the Switch version remains playable. This unique fighter offers a refreshing alternative to established titles like Mortal Kombat and Capcom fighters. JoJo fans will appreciate its quirky charm.
