Chrono Trigger: A noble spirit embiggens the smallest screens

Jul 16th 2008 1:37AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Well, despite being 28 I've never played the original CT. Was into PC gaming as a kid, and most of my early 20's, but then kinda pulled back to console when I got married (it's cheaper, since I don't have to keep upgrading :))

Since getting my DS I've enjoyed playing a bunch of old classic games that I'd missed out, and many of my favourite games at the moment are from SE (TWEWY, FF:CC, and FF:IV). As far as I'm concerned, if they just threw the original rom onto a DS cart and tacked on SNES emulation, I'd still buy it. Given the hype though, I expect them to make some additions, but not many.

Remember that no matter what SE do, they'll be hated by about 15% of the fans. If they just port it then people who still have the cartridge and a SNES (or a rom and an emulator) will complain. If they change it then purists will complain that they've messed with perfection. Luckily for me, I'm in the intervening 70% who can't play it at the moment, and are looking forward to the chance to play a great game.

Sigma Harmonics' magnificent cut-scenery

Want

very want

as much as I sometimes wish i wasn't such a square-enix fanboy, when they do stuff like this and TWEWY at the same time as remaking my favourite old games (CT and FF:IV, still hoping for VI of VII) I just gotta love em. Of course, now I have to convince my wife that I just need one more RPG for the DS.... just one more.....

September chosen for Australian Dragon Quest IV release

Jun 26th 2008 8:29PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Meh, I'll just order it online anyway. It's actually cheaper to order from the US than it is to buy it off the shelf here, even adding express postage.

See Nanashi no Game's fake RPG in action

Very keen for this :)

To answer Deozaan, I read in anothe post on this gane here on DSFanboy that (for example) your real-world (ie 3d) charachter will see a flower bed, at the same time as he passes on in the game (8-bit). I'd guess that if you could read the Japanese in the trailer you'd see similar bleed-through (game starts affecting real world, etc)

ASH pops up on ESRB's site

May 21st 2008 9:07PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I want to want this..... though part of me is cautious due to the poor reception in JPN.

on the other hand, I am just conceited enough the believ that they were all wrong over there, and that I have better taste, so i'll prolly pick it up anyway.

That said, I'll still have to import it from the US, since Australia will likely never see it, at least for a year or more past the US release.

Final Fantasy IV's bosses remixed, more painful

I'm just worried they'll nerf the english language version. Wouldn't be the first time S-E has decided that we poor westerners can't handle the awesomeness of their games and made them easier...

Camelot likes the idea of Golden Sun DS

Apr 22nd 2008 8:09PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I crave more Golden Sun

Much as I enjoy Camelot's other games, I always think of Golden Sun when I'm playing one, and they are never as awesome.

Gyakuten Kenji: new Phoenix Wright prequel starring Edgeworth

Apr 9th 2008 6:36PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Unless I'm much mistaken...

A Diego - Edgeworth confrontation is impossible.....

......SPOILERS.......................



IIRC: T&T case 4 is Edgey's first case. Since Diego was poisoned by Dahlia while he was still working on that case any kind of clash between them would be out of line with past events...

I could be wrong though...

Show and Tell: Minty inspiration

It is possibly the most cromulent word in the entire language :)

DS Daily: Oral fixation

Mar 31st 2008 11:56PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Mine practically lives in my mouth when I'm playing. Have to replace/clean it every now and then, mostly 'cos I'm certain I'm eventually going to catch something virulent and wipe out my entire family due to an unexpectedly dirty stylus.
