Did you know that D4 Enterprise is releasing Japanese PC-88 games on Switch? It hasn’t been going on for long, but I just learned it now, thanks to Hydlide. D4 has added two titles to their EggConsole lineup, with 1984’s Hydlide and 1986’s Silpheed.

Final Fantasy XVI players will soon be able to enjoy two new DLC chapters for the critically-acclaimed action-RPG, one very soon indeed: Echoes of the Fallen launches on PlayStation Store today! The second DLC, entitled The Rising Tide, releases Spring 2024. Both are paid-for DLC, but players can purchase the Final Fantasy XVI Expansion Pass to enjoy both chapters at a discounted price.
Echoes of the Fallen unlocks a whole new story, battles, weapons, accessories, level cap and more. For players who have completed the required quests, this new adventure begins before the base game’s final battle, as strange, dark crystals begin to circulate on the black market. Players will follow Clive and his friends during their investigations as they encounter a group of suspicious traders, leading them to a long-abandoned Fallen tower known as the Sagespire. There, they will unravel the terrible secrets that await within.
Special bonus items for purchasing Echoes of the Fallen or the Expansion Pass include the Buster Sword, allowing Clive to wield Cloud Strife’s iconic weapon from Final Fantasy VII, and the “Away (1987)” Orchestrion Roll which allows a chip-tune version of the song “Away” to be played as background music in the hideaway.
The Rising Tide, set to release in Spring 2024, will bring new challenges and more, including the confrontation between Clive and the legendary Eikon, Leviathan.In celebration of the nominations and wins at The Game Awards, Final Fantasy XVIis discounted on PlayStation Store from December 7 through 11.

The scale of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is pretty absurd, with creative director Tetsuya Nomura promising 100 hours of gameplay. The amount of side content being double that of the main quest is also nuts, as is the 150 GB installation space required for the game. How long does it take to finish the story, though?
We're weren't totally convinced that Final Fantasy 16 needed story-based DLC, but now that we've played through Echoes of the Fallen — the first of two promised expansions — we're actually glad it's happening. If nothing else, this additional slice of adventure is a welcome reminder of how flashy and downright fun 16's combat can be.
If you found Final Fantasy 16 too easy to hack and slash through even on its hardest mode, you’ll likely get a kick – or several – out of the Echoes of the Fallen DLC.
While it initially seemed like Final Fantasy XVI wouldn’t get any DLC, this week at The Game Awards it was announced the game will be getting a pair of story expansions, with the first, entitled “Echoes of the Fallen,” being available right now!

Naoko Yoshida has revealed that there won’t be a Final Fantasy XVI sequel.
Final Fantasy XVI, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are all timed PlayStation exclusives, but they may never make it to Xbox, as exclusivity for Square Enix titles is apparently going to get worse in the future.
Naoki Yoshida has laid it all out for PC gamers anticipating the release of Final Fantasy XVI.

The Game Awards last night had many different appearances, but one that only had a smaller showing was Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Many people expected a full-on trailer to be shown because the game was only a few months away, but we only got a partial trailer in conjunction with the orchestra playing the game’s official theme song in “No Promises To Keep.” But, thankfully, Square Enix was willing to pick up the slack for that and released a more complete trailer showing off not only the footage from The Game Awards but also more in-depth cutscenes with new characters and teases of the future.
Final Fantasy XVI was one of many games that got attention last night at The Game Awards—not only because of the various awards it was nominated for but Square Enix revealed that the two-part DLC content for the game would be partially released sooner than fans expected. How soon? It’s out right now! The first DLC is called “Echoes of the Fallen,” and you can get it now on PS5. It’s a paid DLC, but it’ll have a new story, enemies, and boss fights to enjoy. But on the PlayStation Blog, the game’s lead combat designer, Takeo Kujiraoka, noted many things about this DLC content.
