Welcome to a Tuesday teeming with wonderful gaming deals and (in a minute) an important quarter-century celebration. Today is a pretty even mix of best preorder prices on the hottest stuff just around the corner and slightly older things that you never should have ignored. This being said, that tactic sure worked out well for you in the money department, o' Patient One. So kudos!

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 25th birthday of Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition. Though I had already played the absolute cartridge pins off Blue the year previous, I was powerless to resist this Pokémon the Series-inspired rejig of the originals. Mostly because it had everybody’s favourite electro-rat as a companion (plus distorted soundbites!), and I heard this version would also let me use a Game Boy Printer to generate a Diploma for catchin’ ‘em all. Incidentally, I still very much plan to export said credentials and use it on my resume to prove that I’m the very best (like no one ever was).
