Tales of the Abyss review
Posted on 12 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, Reviews | 3 Comments
Game info:
System: Nintendo 3DS
Genre: RPG
Players: 1
Release Date: November 25, 2011 (EU)/February 14, 2012 (US)
Developer: Namco Bandai
Publisher: Namco Bandai
After the Nintendo DS became a virtual Mecca of fantastic RPGs, it’s strange that the console’s older brother has been around for almost a whole year with barely any games to scratch that role-playing itch. Aside from Atlus’ Devil Survivor: Overclocked, there haven’t been any other RPGs on the 3DS, so thankfully Namco Bandai are finally trying to fill the niche with this recently-released port of Tales of the Abyss. Originally released on the Playstation 2 back in 2006, Tales of the Abyss —part of Namco’s long-running Tales series— told an anime-styled story about “the meaning of birth” and was met with fairly positive reviews. But the PS2 is a completely different system to Nintendo’s handheld console, so does this RPG make the transition to a portable system completely intact?

Nobuo Uematsu approves of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, cried while he played
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nobuo Uematsu has been composing Final Fantasy music for many, many years. He began work on the series in 1987 with the first Final Fantasy, and has continued to contribute to the franchise to this very day.
Of course, Uematsu’s songs are included in Square Enix’s new title, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, which Uematsu finally had a chance to experience. He recommended that fans try it out, and also mentioned that he “was reduced to tears” as he “remembered various things from the past 20 years”.
He said on Twitter:
“I played Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for the first time today. Not too shabby! As I remembered various things from the past 20 years, I was reduced to tears. FF music fans should definitely play it. Won’t you cry with me?”
