Pixels Produce Pounds
Hip hip hooray, it’s a glorious day, JRPG fans have had their say. Poetry aside, Square Enix has announced that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection has sold 3 million copies to date over the Switch, PS4, Steam and mobile.
It’s no surprise to me that the Pixel Remaster collection has done so well. I probably represents the best collection of games available, especially when you think about the quality of the games included and the small improvements made to the games.
Hopefully Square Enix, as well as other publishers, will take note that there is still a sizeable audience for classic RPGs, both in gameplay and graphics (I’m looking at you Yoshi-P and Takashi Iizuka).
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’ probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it.
Something I’m doing at the moment? Playing through the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, and all the other mainline Final Fantasy games up 12 on the Switch.
