Retro Release Dates: Tales of Symphonia (GC) was released in Japan! The GameCube had a bit of an RPG problem, meaning that it didn't have many. Tales of Symphonia was a great game that helped fill that void.

We're almost out of August, but it's still blazing hot outside. Any favorite water-themed games to douse the summer heat with some fun?

The SNES was released in North America on August 23, 1991 - 32 years ago. 🥳 What's your top 3 for the console? My quick 3 without much internal debate: Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, and Donkey Kong Country 2.

Played the hell out of the first GBA one back in the day

August 22 was a big day for the Nintendo DS back in 2005 - it saw the NA releases of Advance Wars: Dual Strike and Nintendogs. I've got fond memories of both, how about you?

Chrono Cross (PS) - The sequel to one of the greatest RPGs ever made was released in North America 23 years ago today. This is one I still need to play. Have you ever played Chrono Cross?

System Shock 2 has long been on my list of must-try games. Today is the 24th anniversary of its initial release (August 11, 1999) - it seems like an excellent time to dig into it!

Ah, the farming life - Harvest Moon (SNES) was released in Japan on August 9, 1996.

My love of Harvest Moon started with Harvest Moon 64 - how about you?

20 years ago today, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles was released in Japan. FFCC is a strange but fun game, featuring four-player multiplayer that utilized the Game Boy Advance and its ability to connect to the GameCube with a link cable.

It also marked the end of a nearly decade-long absence of the Final Fantasy series from Nintendo home consoles. The last game before FFCC was FFVI/FFIII for the SNES.
