The Video Game Awards: arguably the biggest event for video game enthusiasts. The event brings the stars of the gaming industry to thousands of viewers annually. Video games are honoured, comedians bring their A-game, and gamers are given their first glimpses of upcoming releases. The VGA's is ultimately an incredible event for the industry; promotions and premiers of new video games are common. Why weren't Nintendo games featured?
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.
Nintendo may be waiting for CES 2011. But I don't think the VGAs is the place for Nintendo, unless the next Wii game is a COD exlcusive that is.
PFFT.. That show is pretty much a POS. And besides, the show is concentrated on american market only, so anything besides Mario and Donkey Kong gets pushed aside. How is there gonna be an RPG nomination without FFXIII being even mentioned? (Not winning, just mentioned). And what about best female character? Was there even a mention? Did they totally forget about Samus or Bayonnetta? What about Resident Evil 5? Super Street Figher IV? No where to be seen... Pretty biased show if you ask me.. Hell! They didn't even mention the Move! NPH only talked about the Kinect at the beggining of the show.. .. If that's not Biased then I dont know what it is..
At home counting there money :)
Nintendo are prolly the only ones that are decent enough to know how much the award show sucks.
Nintendo knows the VGA's are garbage lol. They didn't even have SMG2 as a GOTY nominee. The VGA's don't like Nintendo, so Nintendo don't like the VGA's.
But seriously, Nintendo has always been known for it's secrecy. The only times they announce new games is at E3 and the Nintendo conference they have each Fall. VGA's must not interest them as they feel that it's not the place to announce something.
