At one point in time, Nintendo and Square were synonymous in the video game industry. Square had released many of their biggest RPG hits on the Super NES like Final Fantasy VI (or III in the US) and Chrono Trigger. Square was loyal to the Big N in the early to mid 90s until Final Fantasy VII came along.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
The Outerhaven writes: While Steam has come out recently, stating that Steam accounts can't be transferred, we need to think about it since we all will eventually kick the bucket. But if Valve is denying transferring accounts, what can be done? Plenty, actually.
It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
This looks fun and affordable for fans of Retro Cabinet games.
Introducing Evercade Alpha, the first Evercade-compatible arcade machine. This bartop-sized arcade gives you everything you want in a home arcade machine with one big feature - full compatibility with the Evercade cartridge ecosystem.
I like the Mega Man one more as it has a better variety of games. Strider, Carrier Airwing, Final fight... The other is all SF. Plus i like that i can pop in any of my evercade carts to play as well.
...and future justified the instincts of Square ...now Ninty is on the risk of getting out of hardware business denying to be more open and evolve while Square materialized a nearly mythic game which people cry to see a remake and is doing fine
Nice little throwback read. They forgot to close it with, eventually Square came back to nintendo in force with all sorts of games for the DS, 3DS and Wii / U. There is likely to be some switch games as well so obviously the two put aside their differences.
Like the saying goes, time heals all wounds.
Square Enix is way too dumb to even let them have Cloud Strife for Smash Bros to begin with , how can they be so cocky and ungrateful when they have done the impossible .. i mean Cloud Strife being in SSB for crying out loud , he was supposed to be on All-Stars but he wasn't .. and all that in favor for Nintendo
nintendo is a sinking ship!
Square realized this 20 years ago!
Well as the article pointed it out. Nintendo does what it wants. They wont listen to developers or even fans. They make systems for their own needs. It gets them in trouble at times too.
