■ A wide selection of PS5 games on sale
What I want to focus on this time is second-hand PS5 software. Perhaps due to its widespread popularity, the lineup of software on sale is becoming more abundant.

The first thing I want to focus on is “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth,” which was released in February of this year. It is the second installment of the remake series, but the stage for the adventure has expanded dramatically, and it is a delightful work that allows you to enjoy every corner of the vast world. The sale price of 4,378 yen is also a great deal considering the release date.

The Star Ocean series has also been quite active recently, with the latest numbered title, Star Ocean 6 THE DIVINE FORCE, priced at 3,278 yen, and Star Ocean: The Second Story R, ​​a remake of a classic that was released in 2023, priced at 2,728 yen, both of which are reasonably priced.

FORSPOKEN, which has been a regular on sale recently, has had its set price significantly reduced to 528 yen, well below 1,000 yen. Although there are many regrettable aspects to the game, the speedy parkour and magic attacks mixed with action make it worth experiencing. If you can get this game for around 500 yen, it's a great opportunity to get your hands on it.

This one is a bit pricey, but we also recommend Earth Defense Force 6, which costs 4,378 yen. It has many passionate fans and the game content has been well-received, so even though it was released in August 2022, the used price remains high and stable.

Considering the market price, 4,378 yen is quite cheap.

For core game fans, Demon's Souls (2,728 yen) and Diablo 4 (3,278 yen) are great deals. You can make your death game debut with Demon's Souls, a remake of a classic game, or immerse yourself in hack-and-slash with Diablo 4.

In addition to this, there are a variety of PS5 software that can be played at affordable prices, such as “WILD HEARTS” (2,178 yen), “One Piece Odyssey” (1,628 yen), and “Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin! Kiwami” (2,728 yen). Choose your favorite sale software from the latest titles to well-reviewed titles.

■PS4 offers affordable games such as “Samurai Warriors 5” and “Yakuza 8”
As the PS5 becomes more popular, the PS4 is gradually losing its popularity, but it's still worth keeping an eye on during game sales.

First of all, you can get “Samurai Warriors 5”, where you can enjoy the exploits of one thousand warriors on the battlefield, for 2,178 yen. This title, released in 2021, is the latest numbered title in the series, so it's a good introduction for those who have never played the series before.

Enjoy the latest installment in the series, in which the two main characters, Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, go on a rampage in Hawaii, at an affordable price.

Don't miss the Switch sales, including popular titles released in 2023 and titles that were once hard to find.

■ Ring Fit Adventure, which was once difficult to obtain, is now available as an affordable Switch game
Although there are finally signs of a successor, the Nintendo Switch is still at the peak of its popularity. Therefore, even second-hand versions tend to have stable prices, so it's a good idea to take advantage of these sales wisely.

“Super Mario RPG,” released last year, is a full remake of the classic game that appeared for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, remade to be easier to play. This one will also be released in 2023, so it hasn't even been a year yet, but it's nice to be able to play it for 2,728 yen.

When the demand for staying at home increased due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ring Fit Adventure was out of stock and difficult to obtain. This game, which is also perfect for resolving lack of exercise, is now on sale for 3,278 yen. There is no “season” for health management, so this is a good opportunity to start.

“1-2-Switch,” which was released at the same time as the Switch and became a hot topic for its unique game content, is also priced at a very affordable 2,178 yen. Since it is mainly a battle game, it is recommended for people who often have the opportunity to play with friends.

If you want to sit back and enjoy the game, why not add “Persona 5 The Royal” (4,378 yen) or “Persona 5 Tactica” (2,728 yen) to your list of options? It seems that the new numbered titles in the “Persona” series are still a while away, so it's not a bad idea to get your hands on the latest numbered title now.
