Let’s dive into the savings!
This Day in Gaming 🎂
Before we jump into current discounts, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane! Today marks the 22nd birthday of the beloved Animal Crossing. Originally conceived as a very different game, it blossomed into the charming, non-linear life simulator we know and love, even if Nintendo subtly introduced us to the concept of virtual mortgages! This groundbreaking title delighted almost everybody at the time, and I was personally sold by the fishing and 19 (free!) NES games. From this blueprint, Animal Crossing spawned a 6-game empire that’s still going strong today with 81 million copies sold – that must be an insane amount of bells!
Aussie birthdays for notable games:
- Sega Worldwide Soccer 97 (SAT) 1996
- Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (PC) 1997
- Animal Crossing (GC) 2003
- Voodoo Vince (XB) 2003
- BioShock (PS3) 2008
