IGN recently held a Q&A session with Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase and Takeshi Arakawa, one in which readers had the opportunity to ask the questions. And through it, we learn a few interesting things, plus that we are unlikely to see Dissidia on another platform, nor are there plans to release FF V and VI on the DS, though Kitase says that the ideas are "attractive" and "interesting," and so he may look into it. One of the more interesting questions is one that will likely affect everyone who plays Final Fantasy: voice language options. Where Dissidia is concerned, Kitase says that such a choice would take up more room than the UMD allows, so that's out. As for Final Fantasy XIII, he says "Obviously, when we talk about XIII it's for PS3 and Xbox – with PS3 being on Blu ray there would be enough memory, but on Xbox probably not. At the moment we're thinking of releasing the voice in English only. Are there many people who would like to play with Japanese voices?" I suppose if there are those of you who love Final Fantasy but loathe English voice acting (and after seeing some of FFX's, it would be hard to blame you), now is the time to make your voices heard.

"When it rains, it pours." That saying can be taken as true for a lot of things, from left-right-left punches to videos depicting left-right-left punches. Yesterday, we had the pleasure of watching an ad for the comeback of Little Mac, as well as a bit of how-to training by former champ Doc Louis. Today, we get to check out the competition, and it's not the usual suspects like Glass Joe, the Disco Kid, or King Hippo. Instead, the Great White North is sending a grizzly competitor to keep us from attaining championship gold:
...wow. You know, speaking as someone who's lived in both places, he really strikes me more as someone who would be from North Carolina or thereabouts, rather than Canada. I guess he's from even further up north, where they couldn't bother to call them "provinces," and instead made them "territories." Know what would be awesome? If, in his rematch phase, he wears a hockey mask. And he can throw a cup of Tim Horton's coffee in your face as a distraction. But, he's not the only one we get to see in action, and things are smelling rosy for this next contender.

As previously announced yesterday, LucasArts has unveiled it's newest Star Wars game, The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes. Yes, my initial excitement has carried over even a day later, and thankfully GameTrailers delivered today with its posting of the debut trailer for the game. Observe:
While it certainly doesn't reveal all that much, as most of it is just clips from the show, it honestly hasnt' swayed my opinion either way.
