This is a Tokyo Game Show wrap-up, and it was a little special this year because as we've talked about before, this is the
25th Anniversary of Final Fantasy. Because of that, this year's showing at TGS was as much about history as the future. In fact, there really wasn't anything shocking for the future that came out of TGS this year.
For instance, Squenix showed what all is in
the 25th Anniversary Ultimate box, which
we've discussed a bit before. They also showed a new dual-wield light-gun arcade game called Gunslinger Stratos,
which has some pretty convincing looking guns aside from having analog sticks and buttons on both.
Also during TGS, the company released the first trailer for the
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix coming out next year in Japan. The subtitles are unofficial and are not indicative of a pending Western release, of which none has been announced as yet.
More visually, check out this
art gallery celebrating the 25th Anniversary from the booth at TGS. There is some ridiculously awesome work on display from a big chunk of the series - what I wouldn't do to have some of those folks posting here! Also visually, from PAX Prime, Squenix just
published a recap video from their sidecar event showing what we all missed out on, with gameplay stations, some toys, and what generally looks like a press conference. Maybe it's just that it's been cut down to a minute-long video, but it looked a little underwhelming to me.
Finally, there've been two releases of note since my last delayed tidbits:
Final Fantasy III for PSP came out in North America, and
Demon's Score, an original iOS rhythm title, was released worldwide (an Android version is coming soon).
So, if these tidbits are too slow for you, please do feel free to help us out a bit. We credit our contributors and give awards to those who do it often enough, which is
obviously the next best thing to getting paid.
