Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
PS3, the best selling home console worldwide.
Jeez, the PSP is outselling the Vita world wide now. That thing needs some games and probably a price cut. I remember when the PS3 first released and the PS2 was outselling it, a price cut will fix that right up.
3ds going strong. i gotta pick one up this holiday
Sad that people have to upgrade to 3DS to continue to play there new Mario games. Nintendo do that best though. They have now stopped making there 1st party elite games for regular DS and forced people to upgrade and thus the sales come. It's what I hate about them really as the handhelds exaclty the friggin same as the DSi with just 3D which nobody hardly uses as its a fad for most and others it gives a headache to. Nintendo are making you re-buy your DSis all over again.. Well not me :p.
So this gen is basically a 42-29-29 split.
Much more balanced than last gen!
