From Kotaku: E3 is all about the buzz. What was best, what was worst, that kind of thing. But what news generated the most buzz?
More after the jump.
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.
Natal has really generated a lot of buzz this week.It's been the only gaming related thing from E3 that BBC and SKY News have shown in the UK.
Rlly guys was this hard 2 expect from kotaku LOL ? PS EYE ? F THAT! WE WANT NATAL! beCus MS says so! OoOoOYyYeEeAaHh
We dont need games, we need products like natal with no release dates! cus we gamers live in the future and not in the now!
I just won't enjoy, kicking and jumping at my TV.
I'm a gamer, I don't care about that.
I don't think this does anything for gaming, it's Microsoft wanting to take the casual crowd from Nintendo and especially Wii Fit.
But for gaming, this sucks. How do you play a shooter? Imagine your hand is a gun?
im gonna be honest i think that natal is the new duke nukem.(bare with me before you disagree). I mean in the sense that it will not show up on 360 but microsoft's next console (the demo shown at e3 is indefinitely in development for a long time) , this is why im more excited about ps3 motion controller (devs already have it)... oh and the fact that milo get's scrubed every 300 hours (don't believe me check it out on kotaku)
I can see the blog posts now
"ZOMG!!!!1111ONE!!!!1WON NATAL IS SO FRIGGGGIN AWESOME!!!DUDE YOU NO LONGER NEED A CONTROLLER!!!!1111"
Or something like that. Who'd place money on the fact that most of the Natal Buzz was right here in N4g when we were arguing over its practicality? XD
