Tokyo Game Show is a day or so away at this point, but the usual early leaks from gaming mags are making the rounds. Let's start with the formal introduction of FFV's characters for Dissidia. No big surprises here, as lead character Bartz Klauser and parallel world megalomaniac ExDeath enter the fray on PSP. Link >> FFV Dissidia Scan But...

Announced earlier today via Famitsu and being demoed in Japan as I type this (literally), a new Crystal Chronicles title with quite the twist: It can be played on Wii & DS...at the same time! Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time will release January 29th, 2009 in Japan, but the most interesting part of the game is it's dual...
You have no idea how tired I am. I'm in the middle of a 3 day binge of sleepless nights, WipEout HD, and begging for LBP beta keys. But this isn't about any of that. Somewhere in between all that haziness, it was announced Dragon Quest IX heads to JP Retailers in March 2009. Which I suppose falls into that...
The last of the DKΣ3713 clips for Dissidia: Final Fantasy has been added to the game's Official Site, giving gamers a look at the earliest of FF Foes in battle.

With Final Fantasy XIII, news is slow and hard to come by. So if something new pops up, we usually try to paste it up here for you. Today just so happens to be one of those rare days with something new. As such, it seems SquareEnix President Yoichi Wada made the network rounds on Japanese television yesterday, and brought...
For most, no extras are needed to justify the purchase of Chrono Trigger DS. No updated graphics, no new FMVs, nothing. It's pretty much the most widely respected game in the genre.

Hmmm, I don't exactly know the deal with posting rumors here. But, I've had some luck with them before, so let's give it a shot. Worst case scenario: somebody dies. Wait, i mean, it could be just a rumor. That's it. It's actually been whispered for a while, but now the news has gained a slightly more steady voice. Final...

Before we start, let's just agree that there's no way to fairly review this game nine years after it's release. I can't review it based on what I remember from 1999, and holding it up to today's standards just wouldn't be fair. So instead, let's just grade it on how well this title holds up nearly a decade after it's...

So, maybe you have a PSP, maybe you don't. But with the announcement of the Limited Edition Dissidia PSP you decided to wait it out before picking up one of the new 3000 models. Well, you are now stupid. Not really, but this throws a wrench into the gears. SquareEnix announced today that the only way to obtain the SE...
Japan gets a spiffy new VP title for the DS in a little over two weeks. So it seems like a fitting time to release a new trailer or two for the game, right? And now that I have unraveled the mystery of posting a video on this site, let's get straight to it. Trailer first, Battle vid second.

Earlier today, SQEX President Yoichi Wada announced that Dragon Quest IX: Defenders of the Sky will release early in 2009 for Japan. While not a definite release date, it's more than we've heard...
