Atlus brings the late Eighties period to Gameboy Advance with Double Dragon Advance and River City Ransom EX.  Atlus has released one screenshot of each for the public to drool over.  These are just not ports of the old of the old NES games (or even the superior arcade version in the case of Double Dragon), but are new games with completely updated graphics and improved stories.

I must seem like a huge GBA fanboy from the few news updates that I occasionally do, but it's hard not to want one with the kind of software support that it has.

For someone like me, there's no better way to spend your warm, summer days than sitting in your room with the curtains shut marking up some remarkably dark website layout.

Hence, I present you with the Digitiser style, selectable from the style page, which becomes the first original selectable style.  I guess some of you will like it, and some of you won't, especially if you have a dark monitor and/or a lot of glare.  Let me know what you think.

I don't know about you, but one thing that irks me about using online game guides is having to run back to the computer to check something.  Maybe even have to reconnect, on dialup.  And then someone's using the phone.  Oh, it's such a trial.  The very thought of it is making me perspire.

Wouldn't it be handy if you could just print out some information for reference and have it to hand during those difficult moments?  But, curse those graphical sites, they aren't quite print friendly.

Well, now there's a solution: get a text walkthrough from GameFAQs!


...

Or, you can use the new "Printable Page" links at the bottom of most of our pages.  That would also work.  Probably.  If you see a page that doesn't have a print link that you think should, or a page that does have a print link that you think shouldn't, or find anything that otherwise doesn't work (unless you're using some deeply embarassing browser like Netscape 4), please do let us know.

I hope that's useful to someone.

Squenix is considering a port of Final Fantasy III, the only installment of the series that has not had a North American release, to the Gameboy Advance.  The game would be a port of the Wonderswan version and not the old Famicom version.  With the Wonderswan dying (plus it not evening seeing a North American or European release) it would only make sense to port this game.

Too bad it is not FF6.

Check it out, fellas. Square Enix released the official North American boxart for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, due out in the States on September 11th, 2003.

Looks kinda plain, IMO. Just like the game itself. Eh.

The folks over at Quiter are reporting, through an anonymous source, that Square Enix is currently planning to create an online installment of their Front Mission series.

Square Enix Japan recently registered the name "Front Mission History," and on top of that, Square Enix USA recently acquired the rights to develop a "computer game strategy / video game strategy through a global communication network."

As you can see, this new game is all BUT confirmed at this point. Remember, this is unconfirmed news, so take it for what you will, folks.

This is soooooo awesome. All signs point to this being true, and dammit, I need a strategy fix after completely mastering Advance Wars 2. The Front Mission series was always interesting to me because it was one part Strategy RPG (which is always cool) and one part sci-fi (also cool). The customization options in the previous games were also top-notch, and online titles are known for heavy customization.
