I’m not going to go into any of the specifics, though you can find a bit more on things by visiting Alison’s Twitter page here. You never like to hear about someone losing a job, so I wish her the best of luck in the future.
A pair of 3DS games have been discounted on GameStop. Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. can be had for just $10 while the Chibi-Robo: Zip-Lash amiibo bundle is down to $20. Both are pretty fair prices, I’d say!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Pricing for Mario Super Sluggers will be set at $19.99.
