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
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
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.
-Tales of Graces f sold 127k but is not listed in global chart.
-Tales of Graces for a single platform outsold another namco game released the same day, the big licence MULTI-PLATFORM Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STORM Generations.
60k(PS3)+44k(360)=104k
-what is more impressive is that ToG released the same week as very very hyped RPG(ish) game ME3.
-with the release of ToG in Europe in the summer, the game will be on track to double the lifetime sales in Japan (370k)
it was like Namco was trying to make ToG fail, but the fans committed, now its your turn Namco, announce Xillia.
Its great to see that the Nintendo 3DS entertainment console continues to top the charts. All of the hard work from the great hard working people over at Nintendo are tasting the fruits of their labor. Nintendo and Nintendo gamers worldwide should be proud of this ongoing accomplishment. Watching the Nintendo 3DS shape the future on a weekly basis.
With new AAA exclusive releases such as Kid Icarus Uprising, and many others. Lets keep it in our prayers that Nintendo continues to lead the industry forward as it has been doing this entire generation. Solidifying its spot as the most successful handheld of today. Setting the golden standard of what and how we play handheld games today, and how we will play in the future.
The better Nintendos numbers perform on the charts, the better us Nintendo supporters are rewarded. Rewarded with even more 1st and 3rd party AAA exclusives. Which is always a great thing. Things are looking mighty positive for Nintendo as a whole heading into E3 2012.
The others did a decent job as well.
Rated E For Everyone
VITA for shame. SONY have missed their US target to sell 500k during the first 3 weeks of release if VGChartz is to be believed that is.
It's good to see the 3DS selling so well.
