Tiny Cartridge 3DS

Twenty Boss Fight Books for $15 ⊟

Not only is the $15-plus tier on this Boss Fight Books Humble Bundle a basically irresistible eBook deal -- it’s almost every book ever published by the company -- but even the $1 tier includes ZZT by Anna Anthropy, one of my favorites in the series.

One of the strengths of Boss Fight (as exemplified in this book) is its synthesis of historical overviews of each game with personal experiences. I know the games I know better, and by reading, I feel like I know the games I haven’t even played.

Wandersong is a delightful musical adventure coming to Switch early next year ⊟ 

Oh gosh, this is charming! It was previously kickstarted for PC (where it will also come out next year), but the IGN-owned Humble Bundle is helping release this sidescroller to our favorite console and handheld too!

Presumably the Based God had some hand in this fortuitous news, too:

I feel like the Switch eShop is already rife with these adorable indie games, and these releases are only going to ramp up in 2018 -- it’s both exciting and intimidating to think about how many worthwhile titles are coming!

N++, VA-11 HALL-A in new Humble Bundle ⊟

Quick break from Switch news for games you can play right now! The Humble Overwhelmingly Positive Bundle offers these two really, really great games at its $10 level. Even at the lowest tier, you get Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, and Day of the Tentacle Remastered at the next up. So, good bundle. And really, what better choice than N++ for an "overwhelmingly positive" bundle?

Pay what you want for Mega Man 9, 10, and other Capcom PS games ⊟

It’s a Humble Bundle for PlayStation! Just PS3 and PS4 now, no Vita stuff, but it’s still dang irresistible. Pay any amount for stuff like Super Puzzle Fighter II HD, Final Fight Double Impact (which includes Magic Sword, don’t forget) and that new Strider game!

Pay above the average and add Mega Man 9 and 10, Okami HD, Remember Me, Resident Evil HD, SSF2THD, and Lost Planet 3. For $15 or more, you also get Resident Evil 0 Remastered and DMC HD Collection. Plus you get to feel like you’re doing a good thing for charity by hoarding all these games.

Humble Sonic 25th Anniversary bundle too ⊟

Yeah, two Humble posts in a row, but I’m justified in doing so because look at this t-shirt, y’all! Jon Kay killed it.

You also get a bunch of Sonic games or whatever.

Another 3DS/Wii U Humble Bundle! ⊟ 

Yes, $1 or more for Affordable Space Adventures (one of my favorite game experiences last year), perpetual favorite Retro City Rampage DX, and the excellent Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse sounds reasonable. I will accept this Humble Bundle deal.

It starts getting really wild at the “pay above average” tier, with the unlock of lovably flawed (and normally $20) Rhythm Thief, along with Freedom Planet, Citizens of Earth and an RCR theme. Then, at $13, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition and Darksiders II? Plus the promise of more later? Man, Humble has got the goods. The really weird big-third-party goods.

A bigger, badder, better Neo Geo bundle for PC ⊟ 

I can never, ever, ever play PC games for whatever reason even if my PC can run them, but I still stare in awe at Humble Bundles pretty frequently. Like this latest one, the Humble Neo Geo 25th Anniversary bundle, which comes with eight games at any price... plus an extra six if you pay over the average... plus two more and a soundtrack collection if you pay over $10.

The collection includes the expected stuff like Kings of Fighterses and Metal Slugs, but also stuff like Pulstar and Twinkle Star Sprites! And if you pay $40 or more, you can get this sweet Metal Slug shirt from Fangamer.

Play Fantastic Arcade’s new games before the dang convention ⊟ 

Fantastic Arcade is my favorite gaming event, because it’s relaxed, casual, and full of game devs who just want to hang out and play their brand new games with you. Also it’s in the same town as me, which helps.

If you can’t make it to Austin next week, or just want to play stuff at home so you have more chill time, you can buy the frickin’ new games for literally any amount of money right now via Humble Bundle. Pay at least $8 and you’ll get past FA titles like... Fez, Hotline Miami, and Luftrausers. And you’ll support AbleGamers and WorldReader by buying all this stuff.

Details on the games here. You’re probably going to want to play these... At the very least, can we all take a second to appreciate this unprecedented move? Sure, just buy all the games in a pay-what-you-want bundle before the convention. Can E3 pick this idea up?

Interview: Nintendo’s Damon Baker on the Humble Nindie Bundle ⊟ 

This week, Nintendo and Humble revealed the “Humble Nindie Bundle,” an unprecedented console-exclusive deal offering a bunch of quality Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShop games including Guacamelee STCE, Moon Chronicles, and SteamWorld Dig, under a pay-what-you-want model. You’ve probably seen it; 44,000 of you (as of writing) have bought it. It is, without question, a great value for Wii U and 3DS owners.

It’s also a total surprise coming from Nintendo, a company who has been notably hesitant about deep discounts for downloadable games. So I spoke to Damon Baker, Nintendo’s senior manager of licensing marketing, to find out how this happened. Being a professional journalist, I opened the conversation with “whaaaaa?”

Whaaaaat, it’s a Humble Bundle for 3DS and Wii U ⊟

The pay-what-you-want charity bundle comes to consoles for the first time with a bundle of indie games for 3DS and Wii U (in North America)!! For whatever you want to pay, you’ll get Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition (Wii U), Woah Dave (3DS) and Mighty Switch Force (3DS), all of which are Tiny-approved.

Pay more than the average and add The Fall (Wii U), OlliOlli (Wii U/3DS), and Moon Chronicles (3DS)! $10 and up and you get Stealth Inc 2 (Wii U) and SteamWorld Dig (Wii U/3DS).

Without hyperbole, I can safely say this is the best deal in eShop history. And, like, did you expect Nintendo to be the first on this Humble Bundle thing?
