Good, it sucked. I think the video service sucks too.

War of the Lions is the best remake they have, and the slowdown is horrible.

I'm so glad VI hasn't been remade. This looks cool to watch, yes, but it would not be fun to play. The original is the best way, and nothing needs improving.

Japan's usually amazing for this sort of thing (where I live). I'll prob to a store tomorrow just to have a look.

Thanks!

Is it backlit? I got a GBA SP with no power cord lying about, and I was thinking about going to a used game store to pick one up, but I dislike how its front-lit.

I have a 3DS, so not for me, but I'd love a DSXL that could play GBA games.

Very interesting opinions! Despite disliking VIII and IX, I plan on finishing them when they're playable on Vita. I got to Disc 4 on both. Thanks for giving me something else to appreciate when I go through them.

I can see XIIi taking the worst elements of X and going with them. However, I hope that XV will show it's the exception and not a norm.

VII was great, but it put the game on a weird path. VIII and IX had battle systems where you were waiting for it to load for 20 seconds, and waiting way too long for battle animations (IX was especially bad where during an attack the ATB bar would freeze).

I know it sounds lame, but I get way more excited for ports of games I like, than new games.

FFX was the game that brought the series back in the direction it should've been going in.

It's not about voice acting for me, voice acting is one expression of what it is about.

I'm annoyed that people ruined the jRPG genre with making shitty games so that most good developers now focus on action/RPGs, a genre I'm not a fan of.

Only games I want that aren't on it are old Enix games... and until they are on it, I got them on HBC. I think I've spent 25,000 yen on VC games (read: the price of a Wii), and they're great fun. Not buying any more though until I'm sure that I can transfer them to a Wii U/get an account for them.

With Debito and Mutant Frog on Kotaku, worlds are colliding.

Interesting.

It's a gameplay mechanic. All gameplay mechanics can be used and fully fleshed out, discarded for other (equally good) mechanics, or be simply tacked on due to a lazy definition of what a video game is.

No, they don't.

PS2's launch was one of the worst in my opinion.
