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.
i think the most impressive part is that one week out of the blue the wii is up 27%
the rest was rather predictable IMO
sorry but this must be wrong, cause konami Told that allone in EU they sold about 1 Mio. units + US about 650000 + Jap about 580000 = 2,23Mio
units and not 1,8 mio.
MGS4 bundle sold out everywhere and if you don't believe that reason why the PS3 numbers are down then your just wrong. When Sony resupplies the bundles in early July the numbers will be up once again.
Why are people approving hardware/software sales number from VGChartz? They've said it themselves that it's only an estimate and ANYBODY can make an estimate so why approve it? Let's just wait for official numbers from NPD or the manufacturers themselves.
I understand what you mean, but the numbers that VGChartz gives out are only estimates. Even you can estimate the amount of hardware/software sale per week. VGChartz numbers are never right and most of the times they are way off from the official numbers.
