"There used to be this story: we're not sure if it is true. It theorised that Bill Gates earned so much money so quickly that if you piled it all up underneath him and sat him on top, then pushed him off, he would never hit the ground. The pile would be so high that should he fall, in the time it would take him to descend he would earn enough money to cushion the blow. And then when he fell off that new pile he would earn enough again to cushion the next blow. And so forth forever: because Bill Gates' rich pasty arse will never, ever, come back down to Earth." - from gameplayer

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.

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.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
I'm going to take a guess and say SlappingOysters A.K.A chris stead submitted this..
He's like HHG with these ridiculous headlines.
If it's not him, by all means, take my bubbles !
Oh, for a second I thought this story was going to be about Microsoft getting a Monster Hunter exclusive. Was just about to see some options for a 360.
Anyway, who knows and to be fair it could work rather well. I mean the Xbox 360 is stated as being a social gaming machine and from the previous E3 that most witnessed their are things tacked onto the 360 to make it more so. Monster Hunter is a pretty much a game where you should at least be social, otherwise it will be quite a while to get through the ranks by yourself.
Though I cannot fully answer as to why Microsoft hasn't gotten it. Maybe because the 360 isn't as popular as the Wii in Japan to which it got Monster Hunter Tri~. Then again their was an article from Capcom that stated "Never say never for Monster Hunter PS3." So could the same be said for the Xbox 360 if they made it a port?
This story is about why HASN'T MS bought a Monster Hunter Exclusive.
i don't ever see monster hunter going to the 360 just being honest
that's like putting dragon quest on the 360
it would just be a silly thing to do since those games only sell in japan everyone where else not really so much
