Take a break. Listen to some of the SNES’ best tunes, courtesy of the Super FX chip.
– Super FX developer Jez San
The Super FX chip allowed for games like Star Fox and Yoshi’s Island to be conceived and executed, and having it installed inside cartridges– while it may have been more expensive for developers– certainly kept the SNES cost down far enough where Nintendo could manage to sell as many units as they did and further fund the development of such interesting gaming experiences! It definitely would have been cool to see what the SNES would have looked like if every game was able to use the chip though…
Atlus parent company Index Corporation has been approved for Civil Rehabilitation Proceedings by the Tokyo district court. Index will now have four months to find a new sponsor for its business transfer. Things will need to be settled by November 5 of this year.
What exactly will Index be involved with over the next few months? The company will need to field and examine applications from potential sponsors and before the deadline, decide on which external party the business will be moved to.
Investment firm GCA Savvian, acting as financial advisors, will be assisting Index in its search for a sponsor.
Namco Bandai has announced One Piece: Romance Dawn for Europe. It’s due out in the continent in November.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami are just a few of the characters playable in Romance Dawn. Buggy, Arlong, Crocodile, and Rob Lucci will be included as bosses. Namco Bandai has also confirmed two stages thus far: Baratie and Arlong Park.
Players will be able to level up characters, customize and craft new items, and use a couple of new battle features. “Grand Tactical Battles” will require you to react quickly, make a fast decision, and press the right button to decide your own path. Meanwhile, the “Grand Chain” allows for multiple Special Attacks to be performed consecutively.
