Square Enix slashes prices on its ‘Final Fantasy’ Switch games
RPG fans who are stuck at home and need some bang for their buck might want to check out Square Enix's sale on the Nintendo Switch eShop. All of the main Final Fantasy games available on the Switch are on sale for 40 to 50 percent off, and titles from Square Enix's other RPG series like Romancing Saga and Star Ocean have been discounted as well. Gamers may want to revisit Final Fantasy VII in particular -- down from $15.99 to $7.99 -- since the game's highly anticipated remake will finally be out on April 10th.
Theatrhythm's new DLC Beat stars The World Ends with You
Theatrhythm Curtain Call continues to ignore its Final Fantasy prefix by adding The World Ends with You music as part of the latest DLC batch. "Twister," the 2007 JRPG's theme song , and "Calling" are two of six new tracks available now in the 3DS rhythm game. As per the Shibuya-infused DS game, Twister is a Battle Music Sequence in Curtain Call while background tune Calling is a Field Music Sequence. The three other new BMS tunes are "Liberi Fatali" from Final Fantasy 8, "Final Confrontation" from Romancing SaGa 3, and "World Revolution" from Chrono Trigger. The sixth song and second FMS is "Wind Scene," also from Chrono Trigger. All six DLC songs are priced 99 cents (£0.89/€0.99). To remind yourself of TWEWY's J-pop music - your humble author would argue it's one of the best soundtracks you'll find on the DS - do the Twister again below the break. By the way, don't think the Curtain Call DLC train is stopping just yet. According to Square Enix, the game's next dollop of add-ons is planned to arrive on February 19.
Curtain Call DLC covers Final Fantasy Fables, Romancing Saga, more
Whether you've already earned SSS ranks across the entirety of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call's 200+ song setlist or you just really dig deep cuts like Romancing Saga, Square Enix is serving up a la carte encores through its unlockable DLC store. Each track, as well as two additional pieces of character DLC, runs for 99 cents apiece. This week saw the release of four new tracks across the Final Fantasy series, including FF8's Premonition and Vivi's Theme from FF9, as well as four tracks spanning the first three Romancing Saga games. As for character-focused DLC, a second take on Cloud is also offered, which channels his wardrobe from FF7: Advent Children. Another batch is due on Thursday, October 9, which will include FF7: Advent Children's Advent: One-Winged Angel, Locke's Theme from FF6, and Leviathan Battle from FF Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon. Lastly, next week's character DLC will add FF Tactics' Cidolfus Orlandeau. You can parse through the full lists for both this and next week's DLC offerings after the break. [Image: Square Enix]
MSX returns to Virtual Console in Japan with ... Metal Gear!?
There hasn't been an MSX game released on Virtual Console in Japan since July 2008. Konami has decided to start releasing its MSX library on Virtual Console, and as a result (should these games actually come out), the MSX selection will more than triple in November. Which just means it'll go from a whole two games to seven. One of the MSX classics planned for November? The original Metal Gear! Only available in America as a bonus with Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, the debut of Hideo Kojima's verbose series will be on Japan's Virtual Console for 800 points sometime next month. The full list of planned releases, which doesn't include whatever arcade games Bandai Namco will overcharge for, is after the break.
