Final Fantasy: The Story of The Game That Saved Square [Video]

With the release of Final Fantasy XV, now is the perfect time to tell the story of Final Fantasy, the game that saved Square from a certain doom.

A popular story is told about how the Final Fantasy series got its name. While working at Square, one employee, Hironobu Sakaguchi, decided on the name as it reflected his last-ditched attempt to save the company from financial ruin.

Beyond this, though, the story gets even better. Hironobu Sakaguchi’s journey shows how anyone can succeed if they work hard enough, even in a saturated market that’s full of roleplaying game competitors.

Mini NES Classic Gets Wireless Controller

mini-nes

One of the biggest (if most authentic) problems with the NES Classic has been fixed with a new third-party gadget: a wireless controller and adapter.

While the Classic captures the look and feel of the original NES console, the wired controller is on such a short cable that it can make it difficult to set everything up and have a comfortable seating position for gaming.

A company called 8Bitdo says it has the solution via a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the controller port on the NES Classic. You then play with a wireless version of the controller (included with the receiver) or any of a range of retro-style controllers and sticks the company sells. For added flexibility you can even use a PS3, PS4, Wii Mote or Wii U Pro controller.

The receiver is powered by the NES Classic, while the wireless controller has a 20 hour battery life with recharging via a USB cable. The manufacturers say it’s possible to use two sets for multiplayer games and that there’s no lag, regardless of which controller you use.
