Final Fantasy XIII is out and doing extremely well, over 5 million units have shipped between Japan, the US and EU. But some have complained about the latest installment in the venerable series, and how it lacked some of what made the franchise great, like instead of cutting out towns, why not improve them?
GamingUnion.net writes "Half-Minute Hero is a game for the PlayStation Portable that hopes to serve as a one-stop shop, combining multiple genres into a single package. It’s a very unique game and despite bringing all these genres together, it’s held together by its key emphasis on time. The game has already seen the light of day in Japan and North America (although it was known as Yusha 30 in Japan) and now the game has made its way to Europe thanks to Rising Star Games."
On December 17th, 2009, Final Fantasy XIII went on sale in Japan exclusively for the PS3. It sold over 2 million copies in one week, in fact the entire stock was sold out, putting the 13th title in line with its predecessors. There’s no doubt the game will perform magnificently in the west when it’s on store shelves in two weeks time, but will gamers who purchase the Xbox 360 version be getting the lesser of two?
The latest software top ten sales estimates in Japan from Famitsu have been released. Heavy Rain and RE5: Gold Edition make their first appearances on the charts.
