Xbox Europe head of marketing Richard Teversham doesn't know if Nintendo and Sony will be able to launch their new systems across the pond this year, but he said Microsoft has a few surprises at the ready if they do, according to an article on the Web site of British industry publication MCV.
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.
"I don't want to reveal any plans at the moment because we want to keep a number of surprises up our sleeve," he told the magazine. "We will ensure we are good value, and we'll do that through having a variety of pricing on games, a variety of pricing on console offers."
its going to be a new bundle, not a price cut...
gears...?
the DS vs psp is an indication of things to come, then the wii will absolutely destroy the PS3 in japan!!!
Over this side of the pond, I really wanna see just how Sony think they can buuly MS around, like thay did SEGA back in the day!!!!
What a lot of dumb Fony fans need to put into context is, that Microsoft, is on an entire different planet to Sony Business wise!!!!!
Sony is a mere goldfish in the ocean compared to MS, who would be a Great white shark!!!!!
Even Nintendo, who soley relys on video gaming revenue (sony, has business in movies, home media entertainment, video games, the music industry), compared to sony, have much,much better business sense than them!!!!!!!
nintendo, even though a much smaller company compared to sony, easily holds their own!!!!!
Sony wouldn't even have a fu*kin clue on how to go about designing, and constructing a video game system, if it wasn't for Nintendo or Sega!!!!!!!
Sony is full of SH*T!!!!! FULL STOP!!!!
How can a company, when being asked for help from nintendo, for a disk drive, try and then pimp them,their own Japanese bredrin, at the last minute, by raising licensing prices on games!?!?!?
Ms as a company would eat Fony for breakfast!!!!!!!
There is no way on earth, that Sony could ever step up to MS!!!!!!
And nintendo pisses all over Fony on the games front also!!!!!!
All you Fony Dic*heads going crazy over PS3 games are so stupid to plainly see the facts that if MS really WANTED to, could buy all them exclusives you see for PS3 at the mo, and just scrap em!!!!!!!!!
NOW THAT WOULD BE FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOny don't even make any FUC*IN games!!!!!!!!
apart from freekin gt!!!! WOW!!!!!
oh, and ape escape (forgot that classic)!!!!
WHAT MS IS SAYING ABOUT SONY? This isn't even newsworthy? I expect this news article from the likes of "the so-called" Real Deal lol.
I guess only time will tell, but my prediction is after Sony's showing at TGS They will carry a huge momentum into thier launch and 360 will become and an underpowered afterthought, and a 3rd chioce for desperate gamers who didn't pre-order thier wii's or PS3's. (my opinions)
This guy is a nob,M$ should be worried of both PS3 & Wii,X360 has already done crap in Japan,Uk market looks like its goin the same way.With reports of loads of Xbots tradin in there X360's for a true nex gen console(PS3 or Wii).
so the TGS show BETTER be REAL GOOD for fony, otherwise, they'll be completely FU*KD!!!
