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.
Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.
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.
great numbers for the PS3! 599 US dolla *cough* 599 thousand consoles sold!
Both will sell over 80m with ease.
The Vita is slowwwwwwwwwly making its way up the list. Lol. Just a little bit more every week.
The PS3 has smoked every other console, when it comes to revenue invested by users -- great numbers, at a greater price, from day 1. Pretty astounding job by Sony, getting people to buy premium hardware like it was discount stuff.
Now if only they could turn that into profit! I expect next gen will be a good turnaround for them, even if the next PS isn't the mightiest hardware.
