    Rumor: Xbox Germany leaks Final Fantasy VII: Remake for Xbox One, releasing on March 3rd

    Twitter user Nibellion tweeted earlier this morning, showing screenshots of a video revealing Final Fantasy VII: Remake for the Xbox One posted by Xbox Germany. The game is only confirmed for PlayStation 4 as of now, but it does make sense that it would come to the Xbox One. This seems like a huge slip up on Xbox’s part, so it will be interesting if the actual announcement is rushed as a result of this. THe post was deleted shortly after being published. Also, if the game does release on March 3rd as the trailer says, then the PlayStation 4 seemingly has no timed exclusivity. Below you can find the screenshots Nibellion provided, as well as a general overview of Final Fantasy VII: Remake.

    The world has fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet’s very life force as mako energy.

    In the sprawling city of Midgar, an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the group, unaware of the epic consequences that await him.

    A spectacular re-imagining of one of the most visionary games ever, the first game in this project will be set in the eclectic city of Midgar and presents a fully standalone gaming experience.

    What do you think of this rumor? Let us know your thoughts on Twitter! Final Fantasy VII: Remake will launch on PlayStation 4 on March 3rd, 2020.

    Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online July games revealed

    Nintendo has revealed the Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online July games. The Wrecking Crew and Donkey Kong 3 will be joining the lineup on July 17th, 2019. There is also a brand new rewind feature coming to the application itself. This feature allows players to rewind in the game to a previous point. You can check out the trailers for the rewind feature and the July games below.

     

    You can read Nintendo’s official statement below.

    On July 17, two action-packed NES™ games are coming to the Nintendo Entertainment System™ – Nintendo Switch Online collection: the building-destroying Wrecking Crew™ and bug-exterminating Donkey Kong™ 3. But that’s not all that’s coming to the paid online service this month. On the same day, a Rewind feature will be available to use with the entire collection of NES – Nintendo Switch Online games, allowing players to easily rewind gameplay by pressing and holding ZL + ZR if they make a mistake or just want to retry a section of the game!

    Wrecking Crew

    In the days before Mario and Luigi became sports stars in their down time from saving the princess, they tried their hands as one-man wrecking crews. With a hammer as your only tool, take control of the brothers and set out to destroy ladders, rip out pipes, knock out walls, and detonate explosive devices. But make sure to plan your path of destruction carefully, as each building is designed as its own clever puzzle.

    Donkey Kong 3

    Based on the third game in the enormously popular arcade series, Donkey Kong 3 introduces an exterminator named Stanley as he desperately tries to protect the flowers in his greenhouse from Donkey Kong. Armed only with a can of bug spray, Stanley must force Donkey Kong higher and higher into the greenhouse rafters until Donkey Kong is off the screen and the next stage is reached.

    EA Access Coming To PS4

    PS4 owners have been given a release date for EA Access on PlayStation.

    Sony once ruled out an EA Access release on PS4, arguing that it didn’t provide good value for PlayStation owners.

    Fortunately, however, Electronic Arts and Sony have managed to come to an agreement, meaning that a treasure trove of free games is coming to PS4.

    After announcing plans to bring EA Access to PS4 back in May, Electronic Arts has since revealed the release date.

    The EA Access subscription service has been given a July 24 release date on PS4.

    If it’s anything like EA Access on Xbox One, the PS4 version will cost $4.99 a month and $29.99 for a whole year. Pretty sweet, huh?

    While there are many good reasons to sign up, the best reason is the library of free games you can download and play, from Titanfall 2 to the Dead Space Trilogy.
