Hey there! You’re looking at an auction for what is possibly the single rarest game for the NES: Final Fantasy VII Advent Children!

Originally designed by Shenzhen Nanjing Technology for the Chinese SUBOR home entertainment console (which is also compatible with the Famicom, the Japanese version of the NES), this game was released with little fanfare over in China a little while ago. This game was featured on a few websites, so I started to look for it through some of my local contacts, and managed to get what might be the only copy of the game in existence in the American continent.

Even though the game was designed for the Chinese SUBOR home entertainment console, it should also work on ANY NTSC Asian Nintendo Famicom system, and on NTSC Nintendo Entertainment Systems (with an appropriate 60-72 pin adaptor). It should also work on most Famiclone systems. This game has been tested on real Nintendo Entertainment System hardware (using a 60-72 pin adapter) and worked perfectly.

The package includes the original game cart (untampered and with security stickers intact), original game manual, and original case with art.

Looking back Dragon Warrior on the Famicom seems simple, maybe even primitive by today’s class changing strategy RPGs. However, when it came out in North America Dragon Warrior was touted as a challenge. A fold out map and enemy chart were you companions on the quest to slay the Dragonlord. Have you beaten the original before?

If not or if you just want to reminisce take a look at this guide/review (1 / 2 / 3 / 4)that goes through the entire game. Here’s a clip of the end with the fight against the Dragonlord.

Persona 3 FES for the PlayStation®2, the highly anticipated definitive cut of 2007’s RPG of the Year, is now shipping to retailers across North America.  This is fantastic news for gamers, as it means they’ll have something to play during the otherwise boring and uneventful week of April 29th.

Persona 3 FES has released to stunning acclaim.  EGM gives it their Gold Award, scoring the game three A’s and exclaiming, “FES‘ arrival - at a budget price - is the best thing to happen to role-playing games this year.”  Play Magazine deals FES perfect marks, 10 out of 10, and says, “Persona 3 FES is one of the best RPGs the PS2 has ever received, and one of the console’s proudest moments period.”  IGN grants their coveted Editor’s Choice Award, writing, “The fact that you’re getting both the original and its virtual sequel for thirty dollars is a steal that no PS2 RPG fan should be without, and you’re not likely to see such an excellent collection on the system again.”

With two games on one disc - a brand new chapter featuring 30+ hours of gameplay and an enhanced version of the original game loaded with new content and features - Persona 3 FES is the comprehensive version of one of the most acclaimed RPGs of 2007.

Persona 3 FES has an MSRP of $29.99.
