“Who is Final Fantasy for these days?” is a question without an obvious answer, but it’s one that its developer and publisher, Square Enix, must reckon with all the same. Both Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16 failed to meet sales expectations according to Square’s financial report from September, which created a whirlwind…

Rare’s Battletoads is one of the most iconic action platformers of the ’90s, and was positively bursting with ideas and set-pieces – it’s also as hard as nails, a trait which has both endeared and annoyed people in equal measures over the decades.
