Square Enix’s Nintendo DS remake of Dragon Quest VI: Realms Of Reverie sold over 900,000 units during the week ended January 31 to debut atop the Japanese software chart.
Awesome.
I hope this means it’s on its way here; I was able to track down a copy of DQV (which has been out of print for a while) over the last week and I’m really looking forward to it.
From Joystiq:
Aside from announcing the first three Beatles albums to be released as DLC for upcoming tear-jerker The Beatles: Rock Band, MTV Games and Harmonix today revealed intentions to bring the Rock Band DLC count to 1,000 songs by this holiday. At the current rate Harmonix is releasing songs for the franchise — without factoring in the Rock Band Network — that’s roughly 500 songs per year.
My wallet gently weeps.
This is my favorite image from the set I took during my visit to CP Pinball last Friday. I’m working on a longer blog post about the experience and the place (which you should visit at least once someday when you are in St. Louis), but for now, this will have to do.
The table in question is Grand Prix, an older Williams one.
Some of you have had conversations with me—especially via Twitter—regarding games of all kinds, so I thought it’d been a while since I’d shared a picture of the game cabinet. I like to do this every once in a while.
You can click on the picture to go to the Flickr page for the photo, which has notes for everything in the cabinet to detail them for you.
If you haven’t played Peggle, then you owe it to yourself to grab a copy any way you can. On the PC or Mac, on the DS, or wherever—though I personally will be recommending the Xbox Live Arcade version that comes out today.
What’s Peggle? I’m happy you (have or have not) asked.
It’s kind of like Pachinko. With an awesome feeling of accomplishment when you clear the stage. You can play it for one board over a few minutes, or in long sessions, and it doesn’t get old. It’s accessible to people of all kinds of skill levels.
And it gets head-to-head competition today. I’m almost giddy.
