The thrill of watching hundreds of metal balls fall from the top to the bottom of a pachinko machine is now being recreated, digitally, in the homes of tens of thousands of Japanese citizens, but with the added bonus of Neon Genesis Evangelion licensing. What a party.
Here are the top ten games sold in Japan courtesy of Media Create for the week of June 4th to the 10th.
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
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
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.
That DS is unstoppable over there it seems.
There is no stopping the DS or the Wii in Japan.
I think Sony and microsoft will have to wait until the next gen... to have some hope of beating nintendo.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is still poplar~ that anime is like 10 years old
Neon Genesis Evangelion ^^
minus the standard anime ending of.. ummm not sure how to end this in only 2 episodes so lets make something up that doesn't help at all. This series is really awesome. That is if you like mechs operated by kids who have some serious mental issues and what-not.
Thou Berserk is still a weee bit better due to intense action ^^
