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.
Another week has gone by and the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system has edged by the competition, gracefully landing the number one position on the worldwide charts once more. Things continue to look positive for the Nintendo brand as they dominate the dedicated handheld gaming space.
The industry as a whole has had a positive week, with almost all units ending the week with a substantial increase in weekly percentage. A much needed boost for overall moral. Hopefully next week we will all witness the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system pass the 21 million units sold milestone. Which will be a worthy achievement unlocked for the industry leading dedicated handheld device.
As we scoot closer to the holiday season with exclusives, and bundles formulating at every turn. I predict that the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system will pass the 25 million units sold mark by years end. Significantly furthering its install base, while maximizing 3rd party developer support. We can only hope for the best.
Rated E For Everyone
But I thought teh pstriple was doooooomed?
one day the PSVita will have its time. one day.....maybe.
Damn...the Wii fell hard...and why are people still buying DSs and PSPs?
68% increase this week?
Definitely because of the new PS3 model. Interesting that sales increased that much without a price-cut. Maybe Apple's strategy of releasing sleeker hardware at the same price of the old hardware works for more than just Apple?
Good to see that Uncharted 3 is still selling well and it's no doubt due to the game of the year edition.
See Sony, this is what happens when you do a good job at marketing and building hype for a product, it makes money.
Same goes for the nearly 2 year-old Gran Turismo 5.
