What a hoot.
In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”.
We don’t have pages on the internet, but we still love terrible jokes — so welcome to our semi-regular feature, Back Page. It’s Superb Owl weekend, everyone…

Remember The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga series that began life in February 2016 and ended its run in early 2022? It was created by Akira Himekawa (the combined name for the two artists behind this series) and will later this year be available as a complete set.
According to online listings on Amazon, VIZ Media (which was responsible for the localisation of this manga), is now offering a box set featuring “all 11 volumes” as well as a collectible, double-sided poster. The whole set combined adds up to 2,040 pages. Here’s the official description:

We’ve finally arrived at the weekend, which means it is time to score on this weekend’s deals! A solid variety is available this weekend, including hardware, video games, and accessories. The best deals for Saturday, February 10, include an HP Omen 45L Desktop, 10th Gen iPads, the Anker Prime Power Bank, and more.
This HP OMEN prebuilt desktop is an excellent deal if you’re in the market for a new PC. You can play any of the latest titles with the included AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. Additionally, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB solid state drive are both included in this build. With over $1200 worth of savings, this is a deal that won’t be around for much longer.
Amazon has the 10th Gen iPad for $349 right now, which is the lowest we’ve seen the device since it was launched. Powered by the A14 Bionic, this iPad packs a 10.9-inch display, 64GB of storage, Touch ID, and a long battery life. If you’re interested in purchasing an iPad but don’t want to jump to the iPad Air or iPad Pro, this is an excellent option.
You can use the Anker Prime Power Bank to charge any of your standard devices, including your phone, wireless headphones, etc. However, this power bank can also be used to charge bigger electronics such as the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and ASUS ROG Ally. This makes it the perfect companion on any trip you might find yourself on. At 20,000mAh, you can charge all of your devices multiple times and still have some juice left.
If you haven’t had the chance to check out Eternights yet, this is a great opportunity to pick the game up at a discount! A blend between a visual novel and an action game, Eternights released last Fall to plenty of love from fans and critics alike. The gameplay progression is often compared to Persona. Both the PS4 and PS5 copies are on sale for $19.99.
If you haven’t yet purchased a VR headset, this deal on the Quest 2 is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for the headset. The Meta Quest 2 is an excellent VR headset that works great standalone or hooked up to a PC. You’ll be able to access your entire Steam library with Steam Link, either wired or wirelessly. The screen provides an 1832 x 1920 resolution per eye, with up to a 90Hz refresh rate.
The HORI Split Pad Compact is one of the best ergonomic controllers you can buy for the Nintendo Switch. Attaching like standard Joy-Con, the Split Pad Compact slides onto each side of your Switch and immediately widens the console. This makes longer handheld play sessions much more comfortable and bearable over time, especially if you have larger hands. The Pac-Man model features all sorts of fun details to personalize your system.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is available on Amazon with a $10 discount! It’s rare to see the latest Nintendo Switch titles go on sale this early, especially big series like Mario. Wonder offers loads of exciting content you can play through, such as eight different worlds, three new powerups, and endless surprises with the Wonder Flower.
This LG Monitor has a steep discount you won’t want to miss out on. Originally priced at $349.99, you can pick this QHD 165Hz monitor up for just $209 from Walmart right now. At 32″, this is a big screen with all kinds of features to ensure you get the best playing experience possible. This monitor has SRGB 95% color gamut with HDR10 support, AMD FreeSync Premium, and a 1ms response time.
The best games are co-op games, and one of the best features of Steam is Remote Play, which turns local co-op games into online co-op games through the power of internet magic.
This week brings Steam Remote Play Together 2024 Fest, a mouthful that means there will be discounts and demos for co-op games on the digital storefront.
You might remember Stacklands, a joyful survival village builder in which you stack and combine cards to craft and advance your society. WitchHand, which released this week, takes the same concept and applies it to developing your own witches coven.
Go on and tell us.
Well folks, with Nintendo releasing its financial results this week, many of us thought that a Direct announcement wouldn’t be too far behind, but alas. Maybe next week.
Anyway, we got news that the Nintendo Switch has now sold over 139 million units, which is just astonishing, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe passes the 60 million mark. Nintendo has also confirmed that the Switch will remain its ‘main business’ going into 2024, but we’re all still pretty confident that a new console is on its way…
