Ahead of the launch of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined — which I’ll be writing about very soon! — I went on my good friend Chris Plante’s show Post Games to talk about the series’ long history. For further reading, here’s an old interview with series creator Yuji Horii, and reviews of DQXI and the excellent DQIII remake.
I just watched a 20-minute presentation on Nintendo’s life-sim Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, and that’s the conclusion I’ve come to. The game looks weird-as-hell (complimentary), and even includes the welcome addition of a nonbinary option for character creation.
It launches on the Switch on April 16th.
Ahead of the finale for Fallout season 2 next week, Amazon has started dropping episodes of the first season on YouTube so you can get a taste of the post-apocalyptic series for free. That finale, meanwhile, will be available a little early, streaming at 9PM ET on February 3rd.
IP-licensing is truly out of control, as the film and TV rights for the terracotta pets that were popular in the ‘80s have now been acquired. What’s next, a movie based on The Clapper?
The upcoming beat ‘em up Scott Pilgrim EX, which brings back the creative team behind the last (very good) Scott Pilgrim beat ‘em up, now has a release date. It’s dropping March 3rd, and should hopefully make for a good companion piece to the fascinating animated series on Netflix.
