Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Sales Disappoint, Final Fantasy: The Crystal Bearers Starts Off Slow
"It isn’t shocking that Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers failed to make the NPD top 20 list for December video game sales. Unfortunately though, both titles have sold under 50,000 copies thus far."
Amazon.com put out an updated list of soon-to-be-released games for which it's giving out free $10 future game credit with purchase. Games eligible include MAG, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, Army of Two: 40th Day, Dante's Inferno and several others.
Icrontic's ruggedly handsome CB Droege takes on the pre-holiday video game releases. This week features Pallurikio, Savage Moon: The Hera Campaign, Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers, and 0 Day Attack on Earth.
"Activision is unceremoniously dumping the Sammy Haggar-less Guitar Hero: Van Halen into stores on the 22nd for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360. A few days later, on December 26, Square Enix will release Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers on the Wii. Interestingly, The Crystal Bearers was the first game ever announced for the Wii and four years later it's finally ready for release."
After announcing the North American release date for their upcoming Wii action adventure, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, publishing giant Square Enix has announced that they have moved up the release date of the title in Japan by two weeks.

Within the past several years, Square Enix has been on the ball with remakes of their classic Final Fantasy games. And rumors of a remake for the huge and popular Final Fantasy 7 have been been buzzing around the net.
Square Enix president Yoichi Wada explains how there has been a remake boom lately, "The price of games is high, and consumers tend to be wary of buying games they are unfamiliar with".
That's an interesting reason for the increase of remake talk, but SE fans hope they do...
"Square Enix president Yoichi Wada has told GamesIndustry.biz that the RPG specialist is neutral when it comes to dealing with publishing and platform partners.
"We always consider the territory and hardware for titles, and I just want to make sure that we're neutral about dealing with companies," said Wada speaking in an exclusive interview published today.
"In Japan we know that the Xbox 360 isn't really that strong yet, but for me I feel very calm about dealing with any company, and w..."
"Amongst a number of mistakes and oversights that Nintendo only has to blame on itself, one of the main reasons that its consoles languished in last place behind its competitors in the past two generations was a lack of continued, comprehensive support from third party developers. However, with the arrival of the Nintendo Wii (despite a reserved first year from many quarters), things are looking very much on the up. Whether core or casual gaming is your bag, what we know of upcoming third part..."
Square Enix's Motomu Toriyama got an interview with IGN. The most interesting parts were as follows. Is Final Fantasy going to get a fitness game? He says there's no actual plans on this, but they're interested in the Balance Board for future RPG titles. Another thing is that Toriyama was asked if they're interested in using mics and Wi-Fi in the future for the DS' titles. He says that they're quite interested in this and will be looking into it in the future. They're not sure about the mic f...
"Square Enix have come out and made a statement on Final Fantasy XIII. Shinji Hashimoto spoke to Japanese gaming magazine Nikkei BP and said that they were developing FF Crystal Chronicles for the Wii, but as for FF on the Xbox 360, its currently a completely blank page.
Given the console situation in Square Enixs main market of Japan, this wasnt totally unexpected, but it should put a stop to the usual rumour-mongering. Its worth noting that he didnt totally rule it out for some poi..."
Just how much do you love your relationship with the global Nintendo DS phenomenon? And exactly how deep are your gaming pockets? For why? Because no sooner is the Pikachu yellow DS Lite announced than developer Square Enix chucks a swanky embossed "Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Rings of Fates" DS Lite model own out the door. Will the limited-edition DS madness ever end? We still want one though.
"Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announced The Crystal Bearers at E3 2005, with little information provided since then. But Hashimoto affirmed that the game is coming along. "Recently, I was able to check the progress on the Wii version. It's coming along extremely well," he said. "However, developing a game that makes use of the Wii Remote is difficult. For our Wii game Dragon Quest Swords, adjustments related to the remote took a long time."
Regarding Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen..."
