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.
He has a point. With the Internet and new tech in general, its HARD to keep secrets in the gaming industry. Sites like N4G get more popular by the day, and eventually, most informed gamers will already know about E3's megatons way in advance.
I have to say, this E3 was one of the worst, most hilariously boring conventions ever, despite showing some cool trailers, revealing a hardcore Wii, and unveiling Vita, there wasnt really anything Megaton.
Yea this one wasnt all that great but goodness you cant expect every E3 to be like 2005, 2007, and 2009. I still like E3. And now that we're pushing into the next generation I expect that next years will be great.
E3 is getting boring Cause all they do year after year is show the same things (in concept) over and over again.
"E3 has become nothing more than a a glorified business expo"
Well duh,are these companies not in it for the money? Sorry but I thought that was the main point of business,perhaps I am missing something?
Nothing has changed,E3 has always been about generating business,you can look through rose tinted glasses all you want but business is business,I am fine with that,thought microsoft,sony an nintendo all had somthing intresting to show.
