Recently, Hiromichi Tanak (Final Fantasy XI's former lead designer and producer of Final Fantasy XIV) informed Famitsu that Square Enix is considering making the PS Vita the next platform for its long running MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI. Initially, I was very happy to hear this news; I have been a sporadic player of the ongoing online adventure for years and a handheld alternative seemed like the perfect fit. However the more I daydream about this match made in Heaven, I am starting to realize that it is really a terrible accident just waiting to happen.
In the 90's parody shooters were the hot new thing that every company that made shooters had to get on the bandwagon with. Starting with the legendary Parodius, several parody shooters sprung up and saw release mostly in Japan. Jaleco also joined in the fun with Game Tengoku: The Game Paradise in 1995, though all of the properties used were ancient, even at release; the newest game that elements were used from was six years old by the time Game Tengoku reached arcades, and all but one of the original games stayed (officially) in Japan exclusively. It would later be ported to the Sega Saturn in 1997. Is Game Tengoku worth a look after all...?

From the ashes of boxes, moving vans and heavy appliances rises the newest episode of Press Pause Radio. It is also the first show back from our vacation, and it certainly does feel good to be back. On this week's episode we will be discussing the twentieth anniversary of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and all the fond memories that surround the gray and purple wonder. GeorgieboysAXE and Toast welcome our special guest Lacey Gilleran, host of The Quickie which is an excellent program you all should be watching on Youtube or at The Gamer's Thumb. We will discuss the history of the SNES along with recent news from San Diego Comic-Con and Capcom pissing everyone off. Please make sure to rate and review us on iTunes and Zune, along with hanging out with our great community in our forums. Happy Birthday Super Nintendo!
Capcom, Super Nintendo, The Quickie | in Podcast The West will never see the amount of shooters Japan does. But there's still hope if you like blasting stuff with a lone ship. Today's shmup king is the Xbox 360, no matter where you live in the world. The fairly recent Strania: The Stella Machina by G.Rev can be had for just 800 MS Points, and offers North America another modern shooter with interesting gameplay. Is Strania the next great downloadable shmup, or a weak pea-shooter thrown to the masses?

The East vs. West developers debate is a heated discussion no doubt. There are so many sub categories that either side can extrapolate and pick to death. However when it comes right down to it, I believe the differences go back to culture.

Ms. Splosion Man, Quarter Circle Forward Review, Twisted Pixel, hard | in QCF Reviews 
During our coverage of PAX East 2011 we interviewed Jay Stuckwisch from Twisted Pixel about their upcoming Xbox Live Arcade release Ms. Splosion Man. Due to poor audio quality the interview was not featured on that podcast. On the eve of the game's release, we at Press Pause Radio would like to take a look back at our time with the developer as we discuss broken controllers, Jetsons cars and explosions. Enjoy!
