News

To start out with I have a question - Does anybody know for sure anything about the realease date of Formula One Championship (press release available through Playstation Galleria) ? I read in NEXT Generation that it was "delayed until later this fall", which might be in reference to their earlier Alpha review in issue #17, which origianlly stated that it would be released last July, but I have also heard that it will still be released sometime this month. If anyone knows or has a comment please use the form at the bottom of this page.

N64 drops to $200, 3DO drops to $99, in case you care.

I recently purchased Tekken 2 and I love everything about it, from the superb graphics and moves to the excellently orchestrated music, and especially the great gameply, this game was a well-produced conversion from the arcade by Namco. I have really enjoyed Namco's output of games for the PSX, and most of their new games I will at very least rent (with the exception of Ridge Racer Revolution). I still don't get why they are making 5 volumes of their Museum Classics, which will each be a collection of arcade classics form Namco's early career, especially if they will be priced at the $50 dollar average of games out there.

Hey guess what!?! Final Fantasy VII is coming out LATE next year for the PSX!!! SquareSoft, who was originally part of N64's Dream Team of developers, has brought the newest edition of the Final Fantasy series to the PSX, due to some ROM capability disputes with Nintendo, brought on by the big N's refusal to accept the CD-ROM technology for their games. SquareSoft will continue to produce titles for the PSX, even though their relationship with Nintendo has been ammended, including 2 fighters and an adventure game related to FF. One thing that still hasn't migrated from Japan is the NeGcon control pad, with its unique twisting action that is great for racing and flight simulators. Hopefully SCEA will wake up to the fact that WE WANT IT!!!.
