“More than your average RPG Final Fantasy Rhythm Game”
Back in 2012, Square Enix took it upon themselves to celebrate the Final Fantasy’s 25th anniversary by creating a rhythm-based game that involves some of the best soundtracks in gaming. That game was the 3DS title Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, which was incredibly well-received and praised. Two years have passed, and now Square is at it again with Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call – another take on the rhythm based series. Featuring new music, updated visuals, and new gameplay modes, does this game offer enough to be on par with the rest of the franchise? Ir is this game a fantasy gone wrong?
Some of the first reviews for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call went live earlier today. For a roundup of early verdicts, check out the roundup below.

The 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. has a special mode called Smash Run. It does support local play, but the mode doesn’t work online.
That confirmation comes straight from Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. While Japanese magazine Famitsu recently indicated that Smash Run can be experienced over the Internet, Sakurai told one fan on Twitter that this was a mistake.
