  1. Pretty simple, what games coming out this year are you guys all excited for the most on any gaming platform.

    For me? There's is no game I am dying to play more than Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I'd say Mario Galaxies is a very close second, but I am just so excited for the prospect of another Smash Brothers game and the potential online play that will come along with it. I just hope they keep Falco in it and leave him the same as he was in Melee. He may have been a rip-off of Fox, but I still liked using him better.

  2. Depends on your taste, really. If you're into FF games another game that would be smart to pick up would be FFIII remake. I also enjoyed Mario and Luigi RPG for the DS, which was really good.

    If you don't mind text based games, then both Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Hotel Dusk would be some solid purchases. Especially Hotel Dusk which I really enjoyed, though I had to use a strategy guide on it many times as there were points I was just flat out stuck on and couldn't do anything.

    Tetris DS. I know, it's for the most part the same game as the rest. It has a couple of different modes to play, but it's still really fun and I haven't played any DS game Online more than that game. There's actually a huge variety of puzzle games I'd like to try for the DS if I ever have the time to get to them.

    I cannot reccomend the Castlevania games enough. If you haven't fancied the series before, chances are these won't change your mind. But if it's your first time, I highly recomend at least giving one of them a try.

    If you'd like some Online titles, than games like Metroid Hunters and Animals Crossing would be solid. Never played Metroid first hand, but I have heard good things about it. If you don't mind using the touch screen to move, it should be a solid purchase.

    Age of Empire is suppose to be pretty good and is a strategy game, which is the type of game you like. I own it, but haven't really gotten around to playing it since I've been fouced on Phoenix Wright and my newly purchased Wii. My little brother likes it if that counts for anything.

  3. You have to admit, this story has generated considerable buzz for this game before its launch - much more than it would've otherwise enjoyed, especially considering how the original underachieved. It's also only being released on PS2, Wii and PSP, so a lot of gamers wouldn't give it a second glance next to the latest PS3 and 360 titles otherwise.

    I know. If this game could find some way of being released(And escaping the AO touch of death), it has potential to do really great sales. Which would be great for Nintendo as they need an m-rated and non-Nintendo game to sell really well.

  4. By the way, I really hate the summon system in FFIII. Absolutely hated it. I used Odin during my battle with the final boss, and apparently that put a shield on my characters that I never knew you could even do. So when I tried curing all my fighters, it reflected and went onto the boss. That nearly cost me the entire fight and pissed me off since I had put so much energy just to get there. Why couldn't they have just made it so one thing happens when you use a summon spell and not one of two random powers?

  5. To drq, in FFIII, do you have to face every boss in the darkworld? I've faced the second version of the final boss twice now and she's destroyed me with a blow that takes 9999 life to all members. I'm at lvl 62 with almost everyone and I can't even survive the first screen. So am I suppose to fight everyone in that area or am I doing something else wrong?

    --edit--Answered my own question. Went to beat all the bosses afterwards, and STILL could not beat her. Stood a chance, but she still kicked my sorry ass with slight ease. I'd have an easier time if she didn't stun/ turn all my characters into frogs.

    I now see what everyone was saying about this. It takes waaaay too long to get to her and beating her is just a bitch.

  6. I'm gonna try to reach 60. I'm already at 57 now and have to build up a couple different classes, so I might as well buildmy character levels up higher. I have two ninjas, which the strategy guide suggested you have, a sage(Even though I'm thinking about going back to the devoute) and a knight, which I'd rather not change if I can.

  7. Final Fantasy IV Update

    A few details on the latest remake.

    by IGN Staff

    May 17, 2007 - The Final Fantasy remake machine is running at full speed at Square Enix's offices in Japan, and the latest result is a fully 3D remake of Final Fantasy IV. Famitsu scored an interview with key staff members of the DS remake, which follows in the footsteps of the platinum selling remake of part III.

    In the magazine's hot seat this week were director Takashi Tokita (scenario and planning on the original SNES version) and producer Tomoya Asano, who also produced the FFIII remake. The game is in development at a company called Matrix, who also handled the FFIII port, although these two are Square Enix staffers.

    Tokita is the FF veteran here. He actually became a full Square employee during development of the original FFIV, which was the first time he had full control over the event planning on an RPG. For the remake, he's rechecking the original's scenario, which he wrote himself, and has managed to work in some new events. He stated of the remake, "It's new, but it's FFIV."

    In somewhat of a surprising revelation, Tokita disclosed to Famitsu that only one-fourth of the original scenario made it into the Super Famicom title! The remake will see some areas fleshed out while others will be cut.

    The two discussed some of the ways that game will make use of the DS. First off, they're working on ways to utilize the dual screens. During battle, the help window can be displayed larger thanks to the second screen. During dungeons, the bottom screen is used for an auto mapping feature. You can make your character move by touching the map with the stylus. While the D-pad is the main means of movement this time around, there will be some stylus-based mini games.

    Tokita revealed that there are some big plans under way to make players play a second time. This is not limited to just restarting a game in a powerful condition, explained Asano.

    Famitsu reports that one of the focuses with the remake project is to replicate the look of the original while making the move to 3D. Some areas will remain unaltered, including the number of enemies that appear in battle.

  8. I can't speak for DRQ, but I just do some quick searches to find most of mine. I found the Mario:Game Over clip while on myspace and decided to go searching for funny clips when I had some dead time. The only one I've really known about for a long time was the Mega Man music, which I really can't remember how I came across that.

    Here's a Street Fighter one

  9. I thought Final Fantasy IV for the GBA was pretty much the same game as the previous, just brought to the GBA and maybe some minor modifications to the writing. Was the graphics really changed that much on the game?

    I will admit, though, I had completely forgotten they'd released FFIV not too long ago on the GBA. That is pretty damn quick to be releasing that game after the Game Boy version.

  10. Spin offs are new games. They can't keep making different FF games with the basic turn based style for every single console. I admit I'd much prefer to see a new FF game on my Nintendo DS or even a Wii when I get one. But I've accepted long ago if I ever wanted that, it'd have to be on a Sony system and that's just not something about to do. So really, playing my favorite FF game in remade form is something I'm sure as hell not going to complain about.

    I just don't see the big deal about this. Nothing getting out of hand and the original FF game hasn't even seen as many different variations as the latest Madden game. Square has made a lot of great games and they want to get as much out of them as they can.

    You also forgot to mention that the DS is also getting a version of Crsytal Chronicles. Which by all accounts, will probably suck really hard.

  11. That's what happens when a game sells well on different platforms. Although I do doubt the version for the Wonderswan did very well and really question why they brought one of their titles on there.

    Again, it's cheap to do since they've already done it and people obviously keep buying them otherwise they wouldn't be releasing anymore. So what reason do they have to stop?

  12. I was surprised how fun FFIII is considering how low of expectations I held for it. The reviews I read really made me think this one wouldn't be so fun, but it's turned out to be a really great game and I absolutely can't wait to replay through Final Fantasy IV one more time. I might even start playing it again on the PS1 in anticipation for this.
