NES Returning November 11th, According To Nintendo Announcement

July 15, 2016 By David Crozier Leave a Comment

Nintendo relaunches the NES

The NES will be available with 30 pre-loaded titles for $60.

The Nintendo Entertainment System or, as most people know it, the NES, launched for the first time in on July 15th, 1983, in Japan. Happy 33rd birthday, NES! Nintendo’s gift to the world is the return of the nostalgia-filled box as they announced that they will be re-launching the console.

Return of the NES

Nintendo is calling it the NES Classic Edition. It will be available starting November 11th, and it will be preloaded with 30 popular titles. The cost of this much nostalgia? $59.99.

With the announcement, Nintendo said that they want to let fans of all ages rediscover why they fell inlove with Nintendo. The game company also believes that this will be a way to share the nostalgia of older generation with the newer generations.

Many are saying that Nintendo is pulling at the heartstrings of gamers and that this is an obvious cash-grab poorly masked to look like a nostalgia-filled tiny box. The truth is, it is a nostalgia-filled tiny box. It has HDMI and 30 games from the 80s, and Nintendo is selling it to us for $60. That is the same price tag as so many triple-A titles.

Apart from the announcement, Nintendo has not said much else, leaving fans with a lot of unanswered questions. Since the games are preloaded onto the tiny console, there is a low chance cartridges will be seeing a comeback, especially since Nintendo did say that this time around, the games will have suspend points which will allow users to continue playing where they left off without passwords.

If the games were adapted and are running from some sort of virtual console or emulator, then perhaps Nintendo addressed the issues newer players will have in regards to the resolution or control sensitivity.

In regards to control, the NES Classic Edition will not be supporting the retro controllers from the ‘80s.It does, however, have support for the Wii Classic Controller Pro and Nintendo will also be releasing a new NES Classic Controller. The controller will keep the nostalgia trend going, and it will feature the same simple and rectangular design as its forefather. The NES Classic Edition will come with one NES Classic Controller included, and interested parties can buy them for $9.99 starting November 11th.

Final Fantasy VII Now Available For Android

July 7, 2016 By Daniel Giordano Leave a Comment

Final Fantasy VII Available For Android

Final Fantasy VII is one of the games who has stood the tests of time. With its initial release in 1997, the seventh installment in the always popular Final Fantasy series is nearing a decade of popularity.

The decade marker has been hit by several games in the past but those games have received balance patches over the years. The gameplay style of other cult classic decade-old games additionally had more replayability offering either several multiple choices or mechanics such as New Game Plus.

Final Fantasy VII inspired sequels and prequels, novels, comic books, and a movie to name a few. In 2015 it was announced that the game was finally receiving an overly demanded remake, but there is talk that it may end up a different game altogether.

Android users are now able to buy, download, and play Final Fantasy VII on their smart devices. Considering there is almost no chance for even the Remake version ever to make it to Xbox Consoles, Android is the last platform on which the game finally arrived.

VALVe re-brought the game to attention in 2013, when it became available for purchase on the Steam Store. The iOS Store received its version of Final Fantasy VII in August 2015. Sony also made the game replayable to the PlayStation 4 in December 2015, almost nine years after its original release on the first PlayStation in January 1997.

Final Fantasy VII for Android is priced at $16 and requires 2GB of storage space to play but a bit over 4GB to initially install, making the classic a steep investment not compatible with older devices.

Much like the iOS version, the Android release of Final Fantasy allows players to skip random fights, and to max out all their values entirely minimizing the duration of the otherwise lengthy combat scenes. Realistically, the game is only affected by a strategic system alone as some fights can still be lost with poor choices even when having capped out stats.

The original code of the game also comes with its caveats for smart devices. Android users are advised to safe as often as they remember and to also backup their saves. A glitch which will probably never be fixable unless the engine for Final Fantasy VII is made open source affects how data is stored in the game.

The glitch causes sudden crashes with no data saved on forced exit leading players to lose all their unsaved data or sometimes all their game data, hence the backups. Even so, Final Fantasy is a cult classic for a reason and is worth the time of any lover of the genre.

Is The Final Fantasy VII Remake Coming Out On The 10th Anniversary In January 2017?
