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.

Yet, these reputable estimates continue to show 360 sales to be ahead in Europe.
I am guessing this means the 360slim is really popular in Europe.
Or, it could mean that the ps move is just not quite doing the trick for ps3 sales.
Or both?
Whatever the case may be, it won't be long until the VGC hate squad arrives, to call into question the sales numbers.
Never fails.
and kinect is not even out yet...this november microsoft will take 2010 holidays very easy
I don't understand why the ps3 is so undertracked here. The ps3 had sold over 38 million at the end of June.
Anyways, a good week for all systems :)
The reason the 360 is ahead is probably still from the fallout of Halo Reach. All those kids asking mum and pop for the game.
On a side note. I am glad so many people care about Second/Last place. You know what I care about? Playing good games, and if my system is in last place or in first place as long as I am enjoying it, I could care less.
