As we step into early 2025, the gaming community is already buzzing with incredible deals that are hard to resist. From exciting preorders to nostalgic celebrations, this article highlights the best offers available for gaming enthusiasts in Australia.
Exciting Upcoming Titles
The gaming landscape is set to be invigorated with upcoming releases like **Monster Hunter Wilds**, **Sniper Elite Resistance**, and **Kingdom Come Deliverance II**. I’ve had the opportunity to test parts of at least two of these titles, and I can confidently say they’re shaping up to be fantastic additions to their respective franchises. While I won’t spoil any surprises, the anticipation is definitely building.
Celebrating Gaming History
In the world of retro gaming, we recently celebrated the 22nd anniversary of **Street Fighter Alpha 3** on the Game Boy Advance. This port is a remarkable adaptation of the PS One version, despite some limitations in background music and sound effects. Crawfish Interactive managed to deliver a stellar experience that kept players engaged, even as early as the handheld era. The thrill of competing against friends via Game Link Cable became a cherished memory, albeit at the cost of some sore thumbs!
