Do you own a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 but still have an adoration for all things retro? If so, then you should head over and take a look at Sonyโs PSN Remasters and Retro Sale, which is currently active and features over 160 games that you’re going to want to look over. But you’ll want to act fast, as the deals won’t last forever.
Some of the best deals include more than one game, especially when it comes to a few Konami compilations. For instance, fans of the publisher’s long history will be delighted to note that the sale includes Castlevania Anniversary Collection, which features eight great titles from the series, one of which was previously never released in English until this compilation.
Similarly, Contra Anniversary Collection includes ten solid entries from the challenging franchise for you to work diligently to overcome. The best part is both of the games are only $4.99 each, meaning you could score a total of 18 games from these two collections and only spend ten bucks. Admit it โ that’s rad.
Now is a great time to invest in some Konami nostalgia, too, as the company has been undergoing a corporate restructure that has left some people worried about what comes next for some of their favorite IPs. Konami has promised that they are not actually closing their gaming division, but what games they’re working on at the moment has been relatively difficult to ascertain.
In recent years, fans have expressed eagerness to see fresh Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid entries, but the publisher has been largely focused on producing ports of old-school games and pachinko machines rather than expanding significantly on their properties with new titles. But hey, that’s not so bad, since you can snag some of those sweet ports for such a cheap price in the current sale, right?
