In retro gaming news, we’re celebrating the 22nd anniversary of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. Released to great acclaim, this game is remembered for its eclectic mix of gameplay and content, including around 500 “VR” missions and other eccentric tasks featuring our favorites, Snake and Raiden. From traditional stealth missions to outlandish challenges against colossal soldiers, the game offered a diverse experience for its time.
The highlights of this nostalgia trip include the “Snake Tales” mode, offering five non-canonical missions showcasing the much-loved Solid Snake. Notably, the PlayStation 2 exclusive Skateboarding Mode, inspired by Konami’s Evolution Skateboarding, let players perform trick-laden runs and meet objectives on a Big Shell halfpipe.
Switch aficionados can take advantage of a 25% discount on Super Mario RPG, the iconic collaboration between Square-Enix and Nintendo that introduced the ever-popular Geno. Also, zoom into action with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled at 31% off. This remastered classic retains its nostalgic charm while adding the exciting element of online multiplayer, which would have been a dream come true for gamers back in 1999.
PC players are in for a treat with free access to both Mafia II: Definitive Edition and Saints Row: The Third. These open-world classics are acclaimed for their engaging narratives and immersive settings. Saints Row: The Third, in particular, is celebrated for its transformation from a GTA-styled game into a larger-than-life parody experience, complete with wild storylines, including alien invasions.
For those wielding a PlayStation 5, now’s your chance to experience the critically acclaimed Elden Ring, available at a generous 31% discount. This monumental game just got even better with the release of its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. On the other hand, if you’re drawn to tales of ancient warriors, Rise of the Ronin offers a rich, action-packed blend of historical accuracy with the signature intensity found in Team Ninja’s works.
Regardless of your gaming preferences, this week’s array of deals provides something for everyone. Whether you’re relishing an old favorite, like Metal Gear, or exploring new frontiers in Elden Ring, ensure you don’t miss out on these exciting offers before they disappear.
