Phantasy Star users who are still online on playing on the computer or who are using last generation’s home console hardware may want to think about migrating to the Xbox 360 to continue their online multiplayer gameplay experience.

As of March 31st of 2010, the PC and PS2 servers will be shutdown after a good three year run – the population on these servers are just too low. However, the MAG+ event is still scheduled for Jan. 29, 2010.

I spent the better part of the last two months trying to track down a copy of SEGA Wow’s Nightshade title. It is hard to find! Strange enough I found a Japanese copy in my first day of searching but trying to find an English one proved very challenging.

NIS is apparently launching the game in February of 2010 according to Siliconera and it is coming to the Wii and PS2. The premium edition comes packed with 2 dual layered DVDS which feature Japanese and English audio exclusively.

I find it a bit funny that the first Sakura Wars title I’ll get to play in English won’t even have the SEGA logo on the cover in North America. The only other title in the series I’ve actually played was a clone of Columns for the Saturn.

Hit the jump to see a bunch of screens of the Wii and PS2 RPG. The curious side of me is looking forward to this title. Read the rest of this entry »
