In an interview with 1UP at the Tokyo Game Show last weekend, Koji Igarashi, the lead mind behind recent and current Castlevania titles, illuminated some of Konami's plans for its vampi-rific franchise in the next generation.
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
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.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
That would be sweet! I am playing Dawn of Sorrow right now and would love to see a next-gen Castlevania hit my beloved 360! Not to metion the FACT that they are putting Symphony of the Night on XBLA, makes me giddy like a school girl. :)
i love vampire games.
is on my top 10 best games played list. To make the list these games have to involve strong, Gameplay, visuals, Music and Storyline. I'm actually playing curse of Darkness on the Xbox , I guess its alright. I wouldn't mind a 2D one tho. I getting sick of the failed attemps of a 3D castlevania, where they sacrifce gameplay buy running through a giant empty castle.
I guess no one believes in 2D anymore.
I've been saying the same thing. Well I'm an avid RPG soundtrack music collector and remixes and that was one of the best soundtracks for a game. Wierd I also like the final fantasy series tracks. Nobou Umetsu's music has been incredible.He is working on Lost Oddyssy too.
