Gametrailers has been doing an excellent (and totally nostalgia-inducing) retrospective on the Final Fantasy series. Here's Part I - hit the jump for all the subsequent episodes!

Note the great cast of lovingly rendered characters in pixel art!

Well this was unexpected. A few days back, if you looked at Amazon's best sellers, you'd note that not only was the PS3 doing poorly, but it was getting spanked by the SNES?!? Man, Nintendo still has a yen-printing machine this many years out? Yikes.

In other news, yet ANOTHER Wii modchip is on the way, Reggie has dropped a huge hint suggesting in addition to Wii Virtual Console nostalgia, that classic backissues of Nintendo Power may be available as a Wii Channel!

On a heavier note, CVG does a fantastic job of asking the question I've been asking myself after my eyeballs go dry from 4-hour stints of playing Zelda on my Wii (40 hours in and still not finished!): is the novelty of the Wii wearing thin? And more importantly.... WHERE ARE THE GAMES? After I beat Zelda, I'm going to finish Wario and Elebits in about 3 hours each, and then what? Call of Duty? Done. Red Steel? Almost as crappy as Farcry. So.... um, Nintendo? Games please?
