"All right, listen up you opinionated types and chatterboxes. We're introducing a new semi-regular feature on NextGen Player called "Mind Games" where we ask you, the reader, to join in our discussions or answer our burning questions. How it works is simple: We pose a question or ask for your opinion, and you give it to us. That's it, easy-as-pie. We're sick of hearing ourselves speak all day long, yap yap yap, so you've got to help us end this insanity. Speak your minds, and let us know what YOU think! Heck, maybe we'll even get to know each other by name. I'll start - my name is Paul, and I've got a burning question for you dammit."
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.
sony won last year so its time for microsoft and nintendo to bring the big guns this year
Who knows.
IMO, the company that shows off their games and announces even more is the clear winner.
In that case, it will be between MS and Sony, and I think it will be a tie.
also this e3 for sony will be largely focused on the psp and since microsoft dont have a portable gaming platform they lose by default.maybe microsoft will announce zune hd as an iPhone contender but i think it'll just release and fail like the regular zune
as long as they are good i really dont care who has the best. we sort of already know most of the titles to be shown and i'm excited for quite a few of them. looking forward to some suprises.
I own a PS3 and a 360. So I win either way.
