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.
HIs projections were so far off last week that he doesn't know what he is talking about, must have broken off from a prediction league and made his own wesbsite so he could show everyone how wrong he is.
Wow..the 360 is $199.99 in Japan and the PS3 is $399.99- yet the PS3 still manages to outsell it..WOW. The 360 only had like a 3k bump in sales after lowering the price by $100.00...WOW
Anyways, back to Bomberman: Act Zero...
Right. It's pretty much old news at this point that the 360 won't sell in Japan, even with more jRPGs and a lower hardware price. To be fair, this was the first week in the past two months that the PS3 actually DID outsell the 360, so let's not get too excited d00d.
PS3 will dive? I interpret this as ps3 sales dropping sharply... i don't see 25k being a massive drop from 33k.
If PS3 is diving, what does it say about the 360 since PS3 still outsells it by 4:1 this week again...
Stupid fanboyism ftw ?
Those are projections anyway, so who cares ? Fact is, PS3 outsold 360 6:1 last week.
