Right, as promised, here's 30 personal recommendations from yer man Scullion for the current Black Friday sale on the UK Nintendo eShop.
To stress: this is the UK sale. Some of these will be in the US too, but not all are.
It's also far from an exhaustive list!

The podcast was absolutely hijacked this week. Somehow it became The Mario Movie vs Gigli vs Schindler's List.

This is a good book. Very much recommend.
Related: the history of how the CD-i came to be is a part of my book, The Console, available now.
It's sold, like, 18 copies in the last six months, so any purchases are extraordinarily welcomed.

I got so near, and got so far, but in the end, I just never bothered.
Maybe I’ll finally finish on the switch.
It was great but I just never bothered to finish it. I never really liked playing the Wii.

10 XBOX EXCLUSIVE #VIDEOGAMES I REALLY ENJOYED!
3. Project Gotham Racing 2
Racing on the Xbox rarely got better than this street racer that rewards stylish driving as much as technical skill. There's tons to do, and it's also the first game to include Geometry Wars as an Easter Egg minigame!

Started with 7
Then got 8
Then 9
Then got 6, with the 10 demo.
Didn’t like 10
Tried 11
Then never played another until I beat 10 this year, and still didn’t like that much.
But I own them all except 16.

What was your journey through the Final Fantasy games? 🤔
• I started with 6, an all time classic on the SNES
• Then did 8, another fave
• Went back to 7
• Emulated/dabbled in in 1-5 in college
• Did half of 9
• Loved 10 and Blitzball ❤️
• Only a bit of 12 on a friend's console

I tried to play Rock Band 4 today. It kept crashing every 5 minutes. So I uninstalled everything. All 700+ songs.
Turns out there’s an issue with the epic store account linkage, so I did this for nothing.
Now the Xbox download keeps freezing when trying to redownload everything.
