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
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
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.
yet still ps3 on top!
Good to see GTA doing so well still. Overhyped, but still a solid game that was fun to play. Now MGS4 needs to hurry up and release so I can shun society and natural sunlight for a good few weeks.
You know what I do believe the PS3 will catch up with the 360 this year and pass it next year if thing continue like this, hell the PS3 hasn't even gotten a price cut yet. With the MGS4 bundle selling out worldwide things are looking really good this year for Sony and with E3 around the corner things will only get better.
MGS4 will help out japan's #'s alot for the ps3.. they need somethin out there.. but then again all the consoles are low there... i can't wait for next months #'s even if its from vgchartz..
At least you IMBECILES are outselling the PS2! BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
You CRETINS think this is bad? This is NOTHING compared to Judgment Day!
Prepare for June 12th, SWINE- the WORST DAY OF YOUR LIVES! AAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
20 days until Judgment Day, Nazisoft!
MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!
