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.
Outside of Pokemon Go, Shiny Celebi will become unobtainable when Pokemon Bank closes - until that happens, here's how to get one.
Shiny Celebi was available via movie promotion event. Dexoys is the only one you gotta worry about shiny because it can on be shiny in original gen 3 carts. That being said, they arent closing bank down. This was already stated multiple times.
I wonder how well the VITA is doing according to SONY. Will we see another sales forecast slash? Will it be considered a success if it exceeds the current forecast but fails to achieve the previous one?
Wow, Xbox beat PS3 in WW sales for the second time this month. I can't believe the US sales were so huge to help it sell more than the PS3 that owns the rest of the world. With this nobody can say that the US isn't the biggest video game market in the world and the most important too since Americans are always the ones that buy the most games too.
xbox has sold more over xmas, but not enough to win the year.
They are both neck and neck.
VGchartz enough said..... can't be trusted. both console = 70 as of now, unless sony or microsoft reports something else these are the numbers.
japan is whats keeping wii u going cuz it just released out there... I think the sales are going to nosedive really quick if no new content gets released..
