Does the news about Breath of Fire 6 have you excited in one way or another? Does your excitement/rage have you wanting to play some older Breath of Fire titles? Thankfully, Capcom is going to release the Breath of Fire II on the Wii U Virtual Console. They haven’t given a specific timeframe as to when you’ll be able to purchase it, but they have confirmed it will be released in the US.

As a fan of Breath of Fire since the first title on SNES, I’m not sure what to make of Breath of Fire 6. A lot of fans are in a bit of a huff about how the long awaited entry in the series is going to shape up. We’re not working off a lot of details, but the art style looks like a different game series entirely and I want to cringe anytime I hear of a franchised being revived as a social game. There’s a chance it could be good. Albeit a small chance, there’s a chance nonetheless. I don’t mind it when a company wants to make a mobile entry in a franchise. What bothers me is to see an actual numbered entry of a series go that route. Imagine if they were to have released Final Fantasy: All the Bravest as Final Fantasy XV? People would be understandably annoyed.
You can pick it up on the day Nintendo traditionally releases games. Sunday.
While we’re talking about long awaited sequels, if you’re a proud owner of a Wii U, Pikmin 3 is coming out this weekend. I never got a chance to play Pikmin 2, but the original was something special. It’s a top-down perspective strategy game. The only thing I can compare it to is Lemmings, but that might be oversimplifying it. You have a few different types of “Pikmin” that each perform a certain task, and you must command them in order to…I think we’re gathering fruit or something. They’re a lot of fun, and if that sounds like your thing then Pikmin 3 is something you might want to check out.
