After two and a half months of caffiene-induced stupor and a bit of well-deserved remonstration by the RHDN Staff (who have been great, by the way), Final Fantasy VI: Stand Guard is ready to go.
This is a revision of Final Fantasy VI with fans of the 1994 SNES release in mind, polishing the story without making it unrecognizable. I also made three versions of the game, one Easy (where you get nifty equipment and everything’s where you think it is), one Normal (nearly identical to the original SNES release), and one Hard (where the encounter rate is maxed out, you start with terrible equipment and many of the rare items are removed).
The glory days of Square are now gone, and we may never get a decent version of the game from them, but luckily, we have the means to bring to the forefront the great work by their wonderful team of Hironobu Sakaguchi, Yoshinori Kitase, Yoshitaka Amano and Nobuo Uematsu. “Shosan!”
Special thanks goes out to Lenophis for his patient advice, and to Ted Woolsey for his original 30-day marathon translation session back in the day, without whom this would not have been possible.
Stand Guard!

Nintendo has confirmed that Super Mario Land: 2: 6 Golden Coins and Metroid 2: Return Of Samus will be released for 3DS via the eShop this year.
Super Mario Land 2 saw the debut of Mario evil alter-ego, Wario, who makes his first appearance as the main bad guy in this cool platformer.
Metroid 2 was notable for being eight times the size of the previous game - impressive for a handheld game released in 1993 - and sees Samus visit the Metroid home planet to destroy them before the Space Pirates attempt to harness their power.
Both games are slated for a Q4 2011 release, and will make nice additions to the 20 free games that 3DS ambassadors will receive before the year's out.

Nintendo will give away Legend of Zelda: Four Swords free via the DSiWare store next month as part of the Legend of Zelda 25th year anniversary celebrations.
 As detailed at E3, the DSiWare version will be a remake of the GBA Four Swords game that came on the same cart as Zelda: A Link to the Past. It's a four-player co-op game that sees Link split in four using the Four Sword and set out to rescue Princess Zelda once again.
Those who played the GBA original remember its mint co-op gameplay mechanics that forced players to work together in tandem to overcome puzzles and sweet boss fights.
Nintendo makes no mention of online play, so our guess is it'll support local wireless play only.
You will be able to download the game for free some time "in September" via the DSiWare store via a DSi or DSi XL, or from the eShop store via a 3DS.
Nintendo last week confirmed a Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword release date for UK for November 18.

US retailer GameStop has reported that sales of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's 3DS have already jumped after both received recent price cuts.
While the 3DS price cut was larger than expected, president Tony Bartel told investors last night he's encouraged by the growth in hardware - sales of console in the second quarter were down, accounting for only 7.5 per cent of profits.
"We have seen a significant acceleration in the sale of PlayStation 3 and the 3DS," he said. "So we do expect for there to be an increase.
"Although these were not unexpected price decreases or price reductions that we had projected, obviously, the 3DS was somewhat larger than what we had anticipated. But we do see that will spark demand in the third and the fourth quarter."
"That is a good barometer for what is going to take place in terms of the installed base."
Nintendo dropped the price of the 3DS this last week with plenty of warning after poor sales, while Sony cut the RRP of the PlayStation 3 with immediate effect this week.
Another US retailer, Target, told our sister site IndustryGamers that it has also seen an "immediate lift"in sales.

Ubisoft has seen a marked improvement in sales of its 3DS software since the hardware price-cut.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz Germany, Ubisoft's European marketing and sales director Geoffrey Sardin reported an "eight-fold" increase in software sales in Europe.
"We are very pleased with the developement," Sardin noted.
Ralf Wirsing, managing director of Ubisoft Germany, was also pleased, attributing a 700 per cent spike in German software sales to the 3DS price-point of €159.
After the price cut of 3DS, our unit sales increased eight-fold in Europe. We are very pleased with the developement
Geoffrey Sardin, Ubisoft
However, a representative from another major third-party publisher - who wished to remain anonymous - was less enthusiastic, emphasising the importance of first-party titles like Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land to the future of the platform.
"So far retail is not euphoric," he said. "The fact that 3DS-software is still treated with great caution in the initial and repeat orders, we see that retail waits for the commercial development."
"It will be important to watch 3DS when the big Nintendo-titles are out there on holiday season. If the machine does not sell then, it´s definitely dead."
Last week's UK sales chart showed only one 3DS game in the top 40, despite many retailers selling the 3DS at less than half of its launch price.

Nintendo has confirmed European releases for Japanese Wii RPGs Pandora's Tower and The Last Story.
Both games will be here next year.
Wii gamers have campaigned for Pandora's Tower and The Last Story to head West. This week's release of brilliant JRPG Xenoblade Chronicles was proof that such action could work.
Pandora's Tower is an action RPG developed by Ganbarion, maker of the One Piece games. The story revolves around players obtaining monster flesh from 13 towers to save a childhood friend.
The Last Story was created by Mistwalker, the studio founded by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi. It follows an orphaned child who must become a mercenary to survive.
Nintendo is handling publishing duties for both in Europe.
There's still no word on a US release date for either The Last Story or Pandora's Tower - or, indeed, Xenoblade Chronicles. The trio of JRPGs were the targets of fan movement Operation Rainfall, whichspammed Nintendo for Western release dates. Nintendo of America has so far spurned fan advances.
Simon Parkin wrote Eurogamer's Xenoblade Chronicles review. He turned up a whopping great 9/10. "It's a game that invites us to reassess an entire genre, pointing to a bold future while nodding its respect towards the past," he wrote. "It's a towering triumph."

Nintendo has just sent over its European release slate for the rest of 2011, and the big news is that Link's Wii swansong, The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword, will be released in Europe on November 18. There's much vagueness elsewhere, with Nintendo still declining to narrow down release windows for Super Mario 3D Land, which is due in November, or Mario Kart 7 in December. Next up in the 3D Classics range is Twinbee, due on September 22, and Gamecube/GBA classic The Legend Of Zelda: Four Swords will be a free download from the eShop next month. Link's last Gamecube outing, Twilight Princess will, along with Super Mario Galaxy, be re-released on the Nintendo Selects budget label on September 16.

It may be a while before we see the Wii U hit the market, but it looks like a refreshed version of its predecessor will be hitting the UK market just in time for the holiday shopping rush. According to the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine, the refreshed controller will sport a streamlined look and adjusted configuration, designed for horizontal orientation, rather than vertical. It will also be included in a "Family Edition" bundle scheduled for a holiday release, alongside a Wii Remote Plus, Nunchuk console, and editions of Wii Party and Wii Sports. The downside, however, is that the slimmed-down Wii won't be compatible with GameCube games or controllers, though it will reportedly be sold at a reduced, unspecified price. No word yet on whether Nintendo has a similar update in store for markets outside of the UK, but we'll let you know as soon as we find out.

Faced with drooping sales and waning retail interest in its platforms, Nintendo's been exercising its price-cutting muscle with some regularity. Before the unexpected 3DS price cut, there was the$50 Wii price cut that also included a bundled copy of Mario Kart Wii and the Wii Wheel accessory. At the same time, Nintendo introduced the budget-priced Nintendo Selects game lineup and, on August 28, it's dropping four more games to the $19.99 price point.
Super Paper Mario, Mario Strikers Charged, Punch-Out!!, and Super Mario Galaxy join The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers, and Wii Sports in the bargain aisle. While it's hard to argue with the new, lower price, our secret, inner box-art snob wonders, "Is a measly $30 savings worth the shame of having that on the game shelf?" A look at the art for the latest Nintendo Selects selections is after the break.
