A while back, I made mention of Sting working on a PS2 remake of their PSOne/Sega Saturn game Baroque. Out of sheer curiosity, I took it upon myself to see if I could find the opening to the original Baroque game on the Internets because, you know, you can pretty much find anything; and to [...]

  Famitsu reports that the PSP Final Fantasy Tactics remake has a long awaited feature, multiplayer battles. Before multiplayer matches start players can set up options like trap placement or entirely removing them from the field. When battles begin one side’s forces are highlighted red and the other side is blue so you don’t mistakenly [...]

  Square-Enix announced that the PSP remake of Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War, is scheduled to ship on May 10 in Japan. The remake features new jobs like the Onion Knight, gorgeous pencil sketched cutscenes and a link to Final Fantasy XII where Balthier is a main character. No release date [...]

The first real confirmation of the Hoshigami remake comes from these magazine scans (1 | 2). Atlus released Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth on the PS1 back in 2001, but it looks like Aksys might pick up the title for North America. Gamefly posted up a catalog listing Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Remix as one of [...]

Not exactly surprising news since Riviera: The Promised Land’s PSP remake has been appearing other places, but now the title is officially announced by Atlus USA. This is a remake of the Game Boy Advance RPG where you guide Ein, a Grim Angel to destroy the promised land of Riviera. Sting enhanced the PSP version [...]

Back in the day, Root Beer Tapper was the game in the arcade you played while waiting for Gauntlet or Spy Hunter to open up. Simply because it was almost without fail left unattended and available, and looked strange enough to warrant $.25. Of course any kid from the 80′s that remembers Root Beer Tapper [...]

Square-Enix has been on a remake spree, but most of the time they stick to the original concept art. The notable exception from this rule is Final Fantasy III DS, which has a new look for the main characters. Seiken Densetsu (aka Final Fantasy Adventure or Mystic Quest Adventure if you’re in Europe) has gone [...]

  Even though I’ve already beat Prince of Persia: the Two Thrones, I’m psyched to see how Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is going to play. The control set up looks pretty good where the nunchuck controls the daggertail the dark Prince uses and the remote is used for balancing on beams. While “Rival Swords” [...]

C3 (or Cubed 3) recently posted the entire transcript of their interview with Square-Enix VP Hiromichi Tanaka. Some of you may remember hearing about this interview a while back where it was hinted that a Chrono Trigger remake was plausible yet never likely to happen, with the tone suggesting the series is forever remained to [...]

Square-Enix announced that the PSP remake of Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary Collection is coming out on April 19, 2007 for 3,990 yen ($33). The PSP remake is based on the Game Boy Advance remake, Final Fantasy I&II: Dawn of Souls, but you don’t get Final Fantasy II. Instead that is going to [...]

Streets of Rage, the archetypal SEGA Genesis/Megadrive 2D side-scrolling beat’em up, will soon be gracing the Wii Virtual Console. Presumably, for a price. Now, taking into consideration that a) most people haven’t got their much deserved Wiis yet b) Virtual Console games are slightly overpriced c) every PC owner has more than 128MB of RAM, [...]

  Next month Nintendo is releasing Final Fantasy VI Advance in North America after a couple months of a delay. When VI was released as III for the Super NES there were family friendly edits like changing death to doom, replacing pubs with cafes, renaming holy to pearl (pearl?) and instances of minor nudity were [...]

No Tengai Makyou (Far East of Eden) game has been remade as many times as Tengai Makyou II. It originally came out on the TurboGrafx-CD then it was released on the Gamecube and then on the PS2. Hudson is bringing Tengai Makyou II: Manji Maru out one more time for the Nintendo DS. The DS [...]

Sure they’re another version of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II, but the enhanced PSP ports look slick. The games are played in widescreen format and are the best looking version of FF1 and 2 until they’re ported over to the next system. The randomized “Soul of Chaos” dungeon where you battle classic Final Fantasy [...]

  The game that started the genre of dungeon RPGs or better called “roguelike” games is being remade for the Playstation 2. Rogue Hearts Galaxy is based on the original game and it has 3D monsters instead of letters to represent monsters. I say based because none of the original creators are in on the [...]
