The popular (in Japan) rhythm game gets a North American release window
Final Fantasy has produced some odd spinoffs, but none are quite so odd and charming as the franchise’s first foray onto the Nintendo 3DS, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Upon its release in Japan this past February the rhythm/RPG hybrid saw a 90% sell through, pushing just under 70,000 units in its first week alone. While it had been previously noted that the game would be coming to North America at some point, it wasn’t until today that we had any inkling as to when that could be.
A unique and beautiful swan song for the PSP.
I’ve never been so deceived by a game before, as I was with Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom. It’s my own fault really, since I requested the title for review without knowing anything about it. Which is why, two hours in, I was confused as to why I was stuck reading a gratuitous amount of text. Impatient, I scoured the menus for anything that would clue me into the “gameplay” I was awaiting. Rather than control options I found nothing but text speed, romance animation, and other odd selections. Bewildered, I pressed on hoping for something to happen; finally it did. Suddenly, reading didn’t bother me as much, I didn’t care about controlling a character, and my impatient anticipation for gameplay dissipated. All that mattered was the winding storyline, the fascinating characters, and making choices to define my own in-game destiny.
We get a glimpse of what DLC will be like on Nintendo's 3D handheld.
Nintendo is starting to take baby steps into the realm of paid DLC. One of the first titles that will take advantage of this new (to Nintendo platforms) feature is Square Enix’s Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. The rhythm game will allow users to download additional songs to their 3DS.
Anyone that is part of the Sworn Brothers of the Night's Watch is bound to the oath, or be punished by death if broken.
A quick look at some of the series recognizable locations.
Three songs are a part of this song pack: Hangar 18, Public Enemy No. 1, and Symphony of Destruction. They're available as a single purchase for $2.99/240MS, or as a 3-pack for $7.99/640MS respectively on the Playstation Network and on Xbox LIVE.
