All budding cartoonists and animators will be excited this week, as Flipnote Studio has launched on Nintendo DSiWare - and what's more it's downloadable for free. Unique strategy-puzzler, Sujin Taisen: Number Battles is also joining Nintendo DSiWare this week, while in the Wii Shop Channel you can download two WiiWare gems, Family Slot Car Racing and 3-2-1, Rattle Battle!. And on Virtual Console is the original version of SEGA's classic Role-Playing Game (RPG), Phantasy Star.
Using the Playdate’s developer studio, James Daniel recreated the DSi’s Flipnote studio on the new handheld. Using that magical crank, you can scrub through each frame at a speed set by your cranking hand!
While many gamers trying to figure out why Yakuza 7 will feature turn-based combat, we should remember it's not the first game franchise to switch genres.
Resident Evil’s tossed its hat in a few different rings as well.
Fixed camera tank controls (Classic).
First person on rails (Chronicles).
Light gun (Survivor/Dead Aim).
Turn based strategy (Confidential Report)
Multiplayer PvP/PvE (Outbreak/Corps).
Third person shooter (RE6)
First person VR (RE7).
Wow this was a fantastic list I especially loved that you included Duke Nukem and the Oddworld series. Not many people these days Duke Nukem started off as a 2D Platformer before Duke Nukem 3D and I absolutely adore Strangers Wrath.
Sega's seminal RPG series celebrates its 30th anniversary this week, but don't expect much hubbub.
Will never be forgotten. My first,big rpg that had magic, science, technology, flying to other planets, catchy tunes from the limited master system, etc. It was awesome. And the sequels after were just as great. Including 3.
Still wish to this day that sega cared to update those games or a remake or sequel to skies of arcadia. But the sega I knew is gone. Such a shame. Just sitting on their franchises doing nothing.
Phantasy Star is a classic.
Wish they'd remake 3 and like... fix/finish it. I love the generation concept but man the game was so bland otherwise. Still loved it as a kid even though I got nowhere.
