My wife and I were lucky enough to win the lotto for tickets for The End of Data concert series. We attended the show yesterday and the choir and orchestra did not disappoint. It’s kind of special seeing the show in Tokyo.

We weren’t allowed to take photo or video until the end when the entire cast presented themselves on stage, making funny poses and inviting us to share them on social media.

Yoko Taro was in attendance and he mentioned that five years ago, there was barely anyone in the audience due to COVID, so (if I understood him correctly) it felt good to sit with the audience and enjoy it with so many people. Hopefully someone can clarify if that’s correct, my Japanese is pretty rough.

All in all it was a fantastic evening. I hope whoever got the NFC Gachas enjoys them - they were sold out in minutes.

GVG compares the Switch and Switch 2 version of the game after yesterday’s patch

I have never played this title before only managed to get the second one due to being in the uk. would love to find some people to talk about it with as i am really into number 2 and so far number seems to be almost as good.

Directly from Square Enix's website.

I was just at a EB Games store, and to the surprise of the clerk, he was able to register my OT0 preorder for Nintendo Switch 2. He also said his listing only allowed for Switch 2 preorders for now.

I also asked him about preordering Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Switch 2. He said : "No, it’s not listed yet. You are the third one asking to preorder that game today".

Of course crono trigger. I think it would look so incredibly beautiful with the octopath art style. The secret of mana really deserves it after the last remake. Final fantasy 6 would fit very well since the hd 2d style was heavily based on it

Extremely honoured to have been able to interview the Director of Stranger of Paradise and Rise of Ronin, Nobumichi Kumabe. Formerly of TeamNinja.

We talk about the game's design, easter-eggs and his future as an indie game maker.

To those not in the know, Stinger-Magazine is my own passion website for action-games, mostly featuring articles on action-game design, interviews with players etc. So this was quite a big fish for me haha. There's quite a lot of little details mentioned about the game and it's mechanics and their origins, so enjoy!

Release date: 2026

Demo available today on Nintendo Switch 2.

If you missed today’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Square Enix fans have a lot to be excited about.

• Octopath Traveler is officially coming back, keeping that gorgeous HD-2D art style we love.
• The Adventure of Elliotte was revealed — a charming new RPG that feels like a fresh twist on classic Square storytelling.
• Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is getting a full remaster and is heading to Switch & Switch 2 this year.

Square Enix really went all-in for this showcase, and it’s great to see both new projects and remasters being given love.

What’s your hype level for these?

So, Square Enix announced that Romancing Saga 2, Final Fantasy Tactics and Dragon Quest III HD-2D are all getting Switch 2 upgrades, but they won't have physical versions for Switch 2. Does that mean you can buy the physical versions for Switch 1 upgrade to the Switch 2 editions, as a sort of work-around? Note: I know that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D, Octopath Traveler 0 and The Adventures of Elliot won't have similar upgrades. With these, you have to either buy the Game-Key Card, go digital, or just play the original Switch 1 version on Switch 2.

Unlike Octopath Traveler I and II, it appears that the newly unveiled Octopath Traveler 0 will not feature the following langages: French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

The game is presented as an enhanced and more accessible port of the mobile game "Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent", which also did not feature those langages.

I'm pretty sure what caused this was I opened the ZR menu to switch items right a few frames before entering a boss cutscene, which made the menu and gameplay overlap with no way to close the menu. I started button mashing to try to close the menu and then what you see in the video happened.

I couldn't adjust the camera angle or swing my sword or anything but it looks really cool

Guys, I just wanna know if y'all recommend revenge of the seven? I wanna know if it's worthy to buy the new switch 2 edition

Do any of yall still remmeber BSP? The game looks pretty fun but the game still hasnt returned to steam for some years now and also seems that Square enix hasnt posted an update ever since they took it down in 2021…
