Posted by Zidane007nl on 14 January 2006, 21:04 - 0 comments

Square Enix announced that it will release Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the Cursed King in Europe later this year, following a November 15th, 2005 release in North America. This marks the first time Square Enix's flagship series will hit European retail store shelves. At a special event in London, series mastermind Yuuji Horii emphasized the role the merger between Square and Enix has played in bringing the series to Europe. Enix alone would not have been able to release the game in all territories, Horii explained.

Prior to the merger, Square already had major overseas operations in North America (Square Electronic Arts LLC) and in Europe. In the past Square Enix president Youichi Wada has repeatedly mentioned his company's desire to use these assets to broaden the appeal of Enix franchises such as Dragon Quest and Star Ocean abroad.

Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the Cursed King will be available in Europe sometime in April.

Roms back online

Posted by Zidane007nl on 14 January 2006, 11:44 - 0 comments

I've decided to put the roms back online and I'll check how the bandwidth goes now, otherwise more actions will be took and maybe the roms will go down for ever.

Some roms have been removed from the download list, since we only offer roms made by Square, or Square Enix. But also some new roms have been added, like Final Fantasy IV Advance, Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls and Super Mario RPG.

If you like the game please support Square Enix by buying the game.
