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.
their numbers of MGS 4 is under tracked because KONAMI said that they have shipped 4.3 million and have sold 4 million.
thanks
I have 19 games on that list... I didnt buy all 19 in 08 since I got NEW Mario Bros, Super Mario Gakaxy and Wii play etc at their release... Its actually a very good list ALTHOUGH the way it is ordered does not reflect the quality of the games at all... And Brawl was amazing and of course its nice to see my fave game of this gen on the list... I know I bring it up a lot but Super Mario Galaxy is just amazing :-)
Good list... GO NINTENDO!
We all saw Mario Kart being number one.......i dont care who says what about this game if you think its not a core game play it online versus 3 stared 9000+ rated opponents.Talk about a challenge.
Also if you're good at this game the blue shell doesnt really matter so stop crying about it people.
This game should be there though seeing as how the single player campaign is for casuals yet the online is insane.This game gets underrated by "hardcore" types.
good list
