GameCube Resurgence Via RPGs?

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday September 2, 2003 @07:28PM from the good-quality-ninty-merchandise dept.

Daetrin writes "GamesAreFun.com is reporting that Namco's Tales of Symphonia RPG for GameCube sold 200,000 copies in its first day of release in Japan. It also reports that Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for GameCube has sold over 350,000 units since its Japanese release last month. Perhaps the influx of RPGs will help revitalize the low GameCube hardware sales in Japan?" IGN Cube has hands-on impressions of Tales Of Symphonia, and GamesAreFun also mention the "73,000 pre-orders in Japan" for GC farming RPG Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, which comes complete with a plush cow if you pre-order Stateside.

What would it take to entice you to use pseudo-HTML tags properly?

Even better, what would it take to get you to stop using them altogether?

No thanks, I prefer my cows more austere.

It's impossible to explain this game's charm. You just have to try it.
That's what they said about crack!
