Time to grab some cheap gifts for people who you like and want to make smile on Valentine’s Day, but don’t like like. Some 99¢ iOS games ought to do the trick. Oh look, and here’s Sega’s 99¢ Loves Me sale coming in to save the day. Wow. That is an incredibly awkward and weird name for a promotion. But it’s not like we can really complain when games are drastically discounted….

This next bit of news is really going to hurt iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch owners who like to buy apps immediately after they debut on iTunes. Sega’s announced permanent price drops on almost every every single iOS game the company has released. Now, if you happened to be smart enough to get the Sega iOS games when they were on sale, it isn’t so bad since what used to be sale prices are pretty much standard prices now. But if you paid full price, well, you may want to just stop reading here…

So maybe you’re not all that excited about this Halloween thing. You don’t care for candy, aren’t a fan of horror movies and maybe outgrew dressing up in outlandishly awesome costumes. That’s fine. It’s not like you need to love the holiday to appreciate Sega’s Halloween app sale!

From October 28 until November 1, 2010, five of Sega’s popular iPhone and iPod Touch games will be discounted as a Halloween treat for everyone…

This week on the Wii Virtual Console, we have SNES classic Kirby’s Dream Course, TGFX pinball title Devil’s Crush, and excellent Genesis RPG Shining Force, bringing the VC total to 121. All games will be made available today (July 23, 2007) at 9 a.m. PST on the Wii shop channel.

It’s quite a solid lineup, as Devil’s Crush is widely considered to be just about the best video pinball game of all time, Shining Force is more than worth the eight spacebucks, and Kirby’s offering is as colorful and addictive as you would expect from the pink puffball.
