Does the news about Breath of Fire 6 have you excited in one way or another? Does your excitement/rage have you wanting to play some older Breath of Fire titles? Thankfully, Capcom is going to release the Breath of Fire II on the Wii U Virtual Console. They haven’t given a specific timeframe as to when you’ll be able to purchase it, but they have confirmed it will be released in the US.
As a fan of Breath of Fire since the first title on SNES, I’m not sure what to make of Breath of Fire 6. A lot of fans are in a bit of a huff about how the long awaited entry in the series is going to shape up. We’re not working off a lot of details, but the art style looks like a different game series entirely and I want to cringe anytime I hear of a franchised being revived as a social game. There’s a chance it could be good. Albeit a small chance, there’s a chance nonetheless. I don’t mind it when a company wants to make a mobile entry in a franchise. What bothers me is to see an actual numbered entry of a series go that route. Imagine if they were to have released Final Fantasy: All the Bravest as Final Fantasy XV? People would be understandably annoyed.
While we’re talking about long awaited sequels, if you’re a proud owner of a Wii U, Pikmin 3 is coming out this weekend. I never got a chance to play Pikmin 2, but the original was something special. It’s a top-down perspective strategy game. The only thing I can compare it to is Lemmings, but that might be oversimplifying it. You have a few different types of “Pikmin” that each perform a certain task, and you must command them in order to…I think we’re gathering fruit or something. They’re a lot of fun, and if that sounds like your thing then Pikmin 3 is something you might want to check out.
