Price Alert! The Samurai Collection (First Samurai, Second Samurai) on sale for $4.99!

Okay, this isn't as great a deal as Game Tengoku Cruisin' Mix Special was, and the games themselves aren't as good, either. But these two side-scrolling platformers nevertheless provide a certain twisted sense of entertainment with their oddball play mechanics and a downright bewildering East-meets-West presentation. Did you know samurais from the feudal era used to regularly battle with HR Giger aliens, flying jellyfish, and enormous frogs? Yeah, neither did I.

You can experience both First Samurai for the Super NES and Second Samurai for the Sega Genesis, packaged together in this Nintendo Switch collection, for the low, low price of $4.99. That's twice the absurdity for half the retail cost! Hallelujah!
