Miraculously the Wii U is gettingSinister Assistantand the 3DS hostsPinball Beaker.

Now don’t get me wrong,Final Fantasy 9is great: but when Nintendo said “once a classic, always a classic” during yesterday’s Direct, I was also thinking about the conspicuously absentFinal Fantasy VIII. It doesn’t get a whole lot of love from both fans and Square Enix (in terms of remasters or re-releases) but this man considers it a classic and I’m sticking to it. One day I’ll talk about it at length, but for now, in 2019,someone else agrees!
Am I starting a low key grassroots campaign to getVIIIremastered, remade or re-released? Possibly.

If you missed last week’s edition,here it is. For those who are interested,sales are going onfor all platforms.
