Final Fantasy 6 The Movie The Game! Wait--who the hell uses Edgar's "Fight" command? Tools is where it's at.

I doubt the redesigned 360 is going to be even comparable to the size of PS2 slim.

Here's a MB link where the others are being described: http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=101327 A lot of these are equipment being renamed to stuff we saw later in the series.

Heh, it's okay Edwin. Furries can be mighty scary. The original Final Fantasy 3 US commercial; also one of the greatest commercials, like, ever. I was disappointed Mog in the game was nothing like that.

If fans doing stupid stuff can turn you off of playing a game, you surely must not have played a Square game in a long, long, long time.

"Her hands are bound... (Remove her bindings.) (Just keep looking.)" Locke, you perv. "'Wait.' he says. Do I look like a waiter?"

yeah, that's all you gotta do. leave only 2 alive and kill them at once, either by using the spin attack, or midna's charge-up move.

2 days off in a row with no obligations rule.

"Leave us. The dog eats strangers." "Think a 'bear' like me could be of any help?" "Kill his best friend for the right price" is a crappy re-write, though. Kind of odd they'd leave those two intact, but were silly enough to imply Shadow has friends. I don't recall "I'd love to get my tentacles on her" being in the original game...

Dragon's Fury on Genesis. You may know it better by the name it's TG-16 version used--Devil's Crush. The greatest pinball video game of all time. I'm still a n00b at it, so my best score so far is a mere 6,326,600 points.

I can't tell you for sure since I'm still early, but everything feels very quick and moves great. However, I was wondering myself about the speed, and used Auto-Crossbow on a group of 5 enemies, with no slowdown noticable. The battle screen / return to the field seems to be the same as SNES. Speaking of speed, you can dash by holding down B, similar to the other Advance ports. "So, Sprint Shoes are worthless?", you ask? No. Sprint Shoes double your walking speed, so you dash without having to hold B. If you DO hold B, you *really* haul ass--twice the original game's dash speed. Only in towns though--you're still using the same old walking speed on the world map. The graphics look better than what I expected (especially after seeing some really blurry pics in magazines), although I am using the DS, FWIW. Either way is great. A DS is well worth it, considering the library of other games available. However, my biggest complaint so far is the sound. Most of the music sounds about the same. However, the boss theme didn't translate well, which is a shame, because it's among my favorite music in the entire series. It's not bad, it just sounds nowhere near as good. EDIT: Okay, just listened to the SNES one. I take back what I said. The Advance version of the boss theme is ass. Here is a clip where you can hear the battle music and the boss music from the Advance game The music seems way more bassy there than you'd notice it playing w/o earphones/speakers. Sadly there's slowdown there. But I've yet to run across it in the game so far. However, Dancing Mad is totally different. Of course, the slowdown could be the emulator itself to blame. And even so, there's no flicker at all.

"That was magic! MA-GIC!!!" "M-M-M-M-MAGIC!?"

Final Fantasy VI Advance now.

Just got the game. The translation changes are there but appear minor (we don't get "dread destructive force known as 'magic'", for instance, but so far nothing to really cry about. Hey, now when major characters speak their portrait art is displayed. And Kefka has portrait art! "Ahem! There's SAND on my boots!"

Allow me to just dig up a few old quotes for LOLing.

Wrestlemania The Arcade Game on Genesis and 32X (emulated on both). However, the 32X one is a PAL version, and for some reason the commentary and many SFX are missing (maybe it was just a funky ROM). I also played some of Pulseman...which is rather confusing, since I don't quite get how all the controls work. It feels Rocket-Knightish, but it doesn't appear you can effectively control your propulsion method.

Work at Gamestop? Plan to quit? Want to get your supervisor fired? http://www.destructoid.com/gamestop-sell-a....phtml#comments So basically "hey, we need to do a bunch of layoffs." "Naw, let's just make a silly new policy and fire anyone who breaks it." "Brilliant!"

Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion are excellent exceptions. Not only were the games carefully refined and polished, but even though Sega didn't own the characters, notice the titles. They seemed to want to build some brand recognition into it, rather than use some lame generic title. Heck, in another smart move, they used Castle of Illusion as a major Game Gear title early on.

No, I give Ted his props, and I'm rather disappointed that it seems minor changes were made to this version (son of a submariner and the Shadow rumor that I posted a screenshot of up above are casualties). Welp. Plus, whoever took over for him (FFVII) sucked major deku nuts.

Just got a message wii-mailed to me about the wrist strap replacement program. Nintendo mos def wants you to know about it. Anyone else get this? Or maybe only the ones with earlier SNs?

Majyuuou on zSNES emulator--a Super Famicom game that's kind of like Castlevania with more emphasis on projectile weaponry. It's really crapping hard, though. Thank goodness for emulation.

i.e. "I have to play through these crappy FF games with no storyline connection at all to FFVI before I can get VI."? Does not compute.

It lets you save and store your photos, and view them in HD. Stream video to your PSP. It enables you to play PS1 games on PSP...unless you had it hacked already so you don't need the system to act as a conduit.

360 and PS3 get GTA IV.... Wii gets Manhunt 2? That's kind of like a lottery where 1st and 2nd place both get the grand prize, and the first runner up gets...well, AIDS I guess. Wario Ware: Aggravated Assault
