New Releases
Castlevania Dominus Collection ($24.99)
A surprise hit from the showcase! This collection features the three Nintendo DS Castlevania titles: Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. It also includes a revamped version of the original arcade game, Haunted Castle, courtesy of M2, significantly improving upon the original. A fantastic value for fans of the series.
Pizza Tower ($19.99)
This Wario Land-inspired platformer is a whirlwind of action. Players must navigate five challenging floors of the Pizza Tower to save their restaurant. A must-have for fans of classic platformers and those who miss Wario's handheld adventures. A review is forthcoming.
Goat Simulator 3 ($29.99)
Another surprise release! Expect the chaotic, hilarious gameplay that defines the Goat Simulator franchise.
