Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”
Mario Kart DS still plays a fine game of handheld Mario Kart more than 20 years after its initial release.
I really liked the Mission Mode. They had you doing crazy stuff like driving backwards, or collecting all the collectibles as quick as you can between a litter of enemies.
They should add it to Mario Kart 9 for sure, along w online leaderboards for the mission stuff. That's how they could expand on the already excellent Mario Kart 8, bc track quality it's hard to imagine them getting much better beyond slightly tighter graphics and 4k on the Switch 2. Maybe more Diddy Kong Racing-esque adventure layout w more emphasis on boats and planes.
It's hard to say that Mario Kart DS is the best "handheld Mario Kart" though, bc Mario Kart 8 is handheld. It's definitely got some uniqueness that I appreciated. The 2 merged together would be amazing.
Mario Kart Double Dash, MKDS and Super Mario Kart are the only three that are actually fun to play. Sure MK8 is pretty but its just that. It lacks the soul of double dash. the DS one controls really really well and the orignial with the feather power up is cool.
So If I see this correctly, the Vita has sold more on 2013 already than on 2012?
Im confused at this chart.
Go Sony!!!! 3 cheers for Sony!! Hip hip horray! Hip hip horray! Hip hip horray!! XD
Suck on it haters!
Ps3 bossing the home console sales as per usual.
This can't be correct. We know that there was a huge deal about the PS3 surpassing the Xbox in total sales. Regardless of their estimates this month, VG Chartz still shows the Xbox up by over 1.6 million on lifetime sales.
According to VG Chartz:
PS3 - 72,223,800
XBox - 73,844,354
Actual, documented figures from Sony and Microsoft:
PS3 - 70.2 million (Source - Sony)
Xbox - 70.0 million (Source - Microsoft)
