Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D won't take much longer to release, and it will be accompanied by a rather welcome surprise, according to rumors circulating online. Speaking on X/Twitter, Midori, who proved to be an extremely reliable insider in the past few months, revealed that the game will be released by the end of the current fiscal year, so by the end of March 2025. Additionally, it seems like Square Enix is remastering in 2D-HD the entirety of the Loto trilogy, which comprises the first three entries in the series. Yesterday's teaser kind of gives it away, as it mentioned the […]
Dragon Quest 3 HD is coming to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Square Enix has revealed. The arrival of the Dragon Quest III HD remake/remaster on the current-gen platforms was confirmed through the series' official X account some hours ago. Unfortunately, additional details about the HD-2D Remake weren't shared. The remake was officially announced back in 2021 as part of the franchise's 35th anniversary celebration live stream. At that time, Square Enix only mentioned that the remake was planned to be released on console. "In this latest visual iteration of DRAGON QUEST III, long-time fans and […]
On the eve of Chrono Cross’ 25th anniversary, it’s a good time to dive back into Square Enix’s weirdest direct sequel ever, and one of the more underappreciated RPGs from the PS1 era. The remastered version is also 50 percent off right now on PSN, maki...

Alongside the previous entries in the series, Kingdom Hearts 4 may release on Nintendo Switch 2, according to rumors circulating online. Speaking on X/Twitter, reliable insider Midori discussed the fourth entry in the series, revealing that it may be released on the next Nintendo hardware alongside its predecessors. As only cloud versions have been released on the original Switch, it would definitely be great to have native ports of the entire series on the upcoming console. Midori also revealed other interesting tidbits about Kingdom Hearts 4. Apparently, the game, codenamed Quattro (four in Italian), looks very different from the reveal […]
It's been nearly three years since the memorable GeForce NOW leak confirmed the existence of a Final Fantasy IX Remake. While most of the games included in NVIDIA's list ended up being announced, some of them never were. This includes the remake of the ninth mainline entry in Square Enix's Final Fantasy series. However, rumors have persisted despite the lack of any official announcement. In early June 2023, a leaker on ResetEra suggested Final Fantasy IX Remake would be a PlayStation exclusive featuring traditional gameplay instead of the action combat used for the Final Fantasy VII Remake. That same leaker […]

More than a few players have been asking for a proper remake of Final Fantasy VI for years, but Square Enix is seemingly not ready to commit to this project, leaving some players no choice but to recreate the game themselves. Japanese YouTuber Touya has been working on an AI live-action recreation of the sixth entry in the series and finally released a longer video covering the entirety of the story a few hours ago. This live-action recreation is not only of the highest quality, sometimes making it difficult to distinguish it from a real live-action recreation, but it's also […]
