Square Enix President: Japanese Developers Shouldn’t Imitate Western Games

Posted on April 19, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

It is well known that except for The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and now Elden Ring, Western RPGs rule the gaming world in terms of sales. Square Enix is a successful company, but its Final Fantasy series has fallen off its “king of the hill” perch over the last two decades with newer RPG games…

Games That Will Cost you a Kidney: Panzer Dragoon Saga 

Posted on April 18, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

A few days ago, one of our readers and group members suggested that we should work on a section about retro games and the reasoning behind their high prices. We thought the idea was good. After all, as a JRPG focused site, we know all too well the growing pains of grabbing some genuine 32-bit…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Metal Gear Solid 2

Posted on April 14, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Before I write anything else, I must confess that I was never a big fan of the original Metal Gear Solid game on the PlayStation. It is not that I didn’t like the game or appreciate what it did for the stealth and action adventure genres on Sony’s little gray machine. My issue with it…

The Best Games of 1999 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 13, 2022April 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

All great things must come to an end, and the 1990s met such a fate. With today’s coverage we close the book on GameRankings.com’s best games of the 1990s decade. After 1998’s historically great (arguably the greatest) year, 1999 was a bit of a letdown.   Today, we bid farewell to arguably gaming’s most important decade…

Kingdom Hearts 4’s Announcement Bodes Well for a Final Fantasy IX Remake 

Posted on April 11, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Kingdom Hearts 4 is the latest Square Enix title that was included in the GeForce Now leaked list to be officially confirmed. That would only leave the Final Fantasy IX Remake as the sole member of the Square Enix listed titles to have yet to be officially announced.  While early on, Nvidia’s list seemed a…

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild 2 Delayed Until 2023 

Posted on April 8, 2022April 8, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Given the massive commercial (over 26 million copies sold) and critical success of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nintendo’s 35-year-old franchise has never been more popular than it is today. Thus, the news of a delay for its sequel has caused some disappointment amongst fans.  Nintendo Shares Drop 6% After News  The…

The Best Games of 1998 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 6, 2022April 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

By my reckoning, 1998 is the greatest year in gaming history. No other year had or has had as many great games released within it. In 1998, the Nintendo 64 continued its trend of having a historically great game and taking the best game of the year awards (for the 3rd year in a row)….

The Fall of the Winglies is Under Development but Lacks a Publisher

Posted on April 1, 2022April 7, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The Legend of Dragoon fans have had a rough two decades awaiting a sequel, or even a prequel, for the cult classic. However, the wait is over. It seems that the game’s rich lore will receive a much-needed prequel in the form of an unlicensed title. Legend of Dragoon Director, Masayuki Kasebe, confirmed the rumors…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Dead or Alive 3

Posted on March 31, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The original Xbox was an amazing machine for its era. At times, the system truly felt like a generational leap over the PlayStation 2. The reason for this? Microsoft’s hardware was multiple times more powerful than Sony’s most successful machine.   The Xbox Flexed its Muscles at Launch  Halo: Combat Evolved alone was enough to…
