We’ve all been there haven’t we. We’ve all done something speculator which people talk about for years and all you want to do is move on (do you sense the irony).
Well Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi is tired of being asked about the franchise. All he wants to talk about is ‘The Last Story’.
Speaking at a BAFTA event, Sakaguchi said: “I’ve had six interviews today and I’ve never had so many questions about Final Fantasy… So yes, I’m really tired of talking about it.”
I wonder if folk will have the some enthusiasm for ‘The Last Story’ in years to come.
Nintendo seems to be taken the demo scene on 3DS seriously with new releases on a weekly basis. This week we get treated to a Nintendogs + Cats demo.
So if your one of those gamers which want to try the title out without spending lots of cash, well rejoice for soon you will be able to test it without paying a thing.
If your fan of the Monster Hunter franchise then you will pleased to know that ‘Monster Hunter 3G’ is set for a western launch. Edge magazine lists the game with a European release spot in quarter 3 with a US release yet to be confirmed.
If you’ve played previous titles in the franchise then why not spend a little time to chat about your past experiences with Monster Hunter titles.
Nintendo 3DS has broken previous Nintendo sales records in Japan. The console as sold more than 5 million units in 51 weeks where as in comparison, the GBA sold 5 million in 58 weeks, the DS in 56, and Wii sold just under 4 million in 52 weeks. So the 3DS is well on track to breaking the sales record of past Nintendo systems.
Kid Icarus: Uprising will be heading to a game store near you in March and Nintendo has released a new ‘Three Sacred Treasures’ trailer. The three sacred treasures of course played a big part in Pit’s original adventure on the NES and it seems they will do so again in his latest outing on the 3DS. What are your views on the trailer? Does it make you want to buy the game?
So the PS Vita will soon be launching in a local store near you and I managed to get my hands on one yesterday. Now of course this thing is a powerhouse with PS3 capabilities in a hand-held and from a tech perspective, this thing is awesome. But you need more than tech in order to make a successful hand-held, a lesson which many manufacturers have learnt in the past. For instance yesterday, it was interesting to see how the folk in GAME spent more time trying to defend the consoles size. Now the Vita is massive and it doesn’t matter how glorious the tech is, you just can’t help but be struck by the size of the thing. When I made a comment about the devices size, a member of staff came back with “but it’s smaller than an iPad.”
Now I’m not here to slander Sony’s new device because its obvious it has great capabilities but I’m certain the 3DS will have a big advantage in terms of sales due to:
1. Sales price (The Vita is currently retailing for £230)
2. The size of the device is quite off putting if your looking for a portable gaming device
3. Would folk really want a portable PS3 when they can enjoy one on there larger HDTV’s
I always seems to get details very wrong when it comes to reporting Pokemon stories and so I’m hoping I get this one right.
The new Pokemon is called Keldo which just so happens to be one of the Legendary Musketeers. It also stars in the 15th Pokemon movie – Kyurem and the Sacred Swordsman.
So what do you think about the latest Pokemon design?
Did you know Shigeru Miyamoto has a favourite Mario Kart character.
“That’s the most challenging question! I’m sorry that I cannot come up with an interesting answer. Somehow, it’s habit to me, but I play with Mario. He’s a very balanced character.”
No surprises there I suppose. Do you have a favourite MK character?
Your probably familiar with the above logo. Mobiclip specializes in video compression and whenever you see video clips/sequences in DS and 3DS titles, more often than not, it’s compressed using Mobiclip technologies. Well in October Nintendo purchased the company but news of the purchase only came to light yesterday.
It really looks like Nintendo are really starting to take things like video seriously.
