Nintendo's Wii is battling Sony's Playstation 3 at stores. CNNMoney.com's Allen Wastler has more.
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.
oh so many thoughts...no comment..its to much...lol
considering the PS3 is almos double the price.... u will be seeing a MUCHHHH more fierce fight in 2/3 years. But the PS3 is holding its own for now. The Wii wont be winning forever.
Dear lord... This can't be real. Ps3 smokes the wii's ass and rotates it twice in every way possible.
Ps3 allows you to place full on movies onto your HDD and watch them. Movies you own, movies you rent... whatever. Wii can't touch that.
Ps3 allows you to play every system up to the dreamcast thru emulation.
Ps3 allows you to browse the real internet
Ps3 allows you to watch blu-ray movies
Ps3 allows you to game online for free
Ps3 allows you to upscale all your dvd's
Ps3 allows you to upscale Ps1 and ps2 games.
Ps3 allows you to play all your ps1 games thru your psp remotely
Ps3 allows you to swap and edit media on the fly
All out of the box... all for the cost of the system and the system alone. nothing more. Anyone who doesn't have a Ps3 for sheer functionality is missing out.
but the Wii has PS3 and 360 beat in sales. I guess the old Abraham Lincoln quote of.....,
-- "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time...." --
....doesn't quite apply to game consoles, because in a head to head comparison, it just doesn't make *any sense at all.
cheers
To me, this video is more interesting from a "this is how it's perceived" viewpoint than any actual information. Let's face it, nothing said in here is news to any of us; but the way it's presented, and the way the two people involved see the situation, is pretty funny in a scary way. He's so friggin animated through the whole video, waving his hands in all directions, it's no wonder he loves the Wii controls. Add in the year old video from G4 and it pretty much sums up the general public's awareness.
