A quick word on Live A Live and why it's a big deal that we're getting an upgraded Switch release. The game is largely unknown outside of Japan, which is confounding. Let me explain why.

I’m always amazed at how well-defined Breath of the Wild’s core environmental rules and game systems are. If YOU can get Cucco-swarmed, you better believe you can set up an enemy for a humiliating death by chicken, no matter how big.

IGN turns 25 today. Our little online brand launched the same day as the N64. Back when Excite was the search engine of choice and YouTube and social networks didn't yet exist. The fact that it's still around is thanks to our great employees -- past and present. And you.

Let's be clear: you don't just argue. You insult people. Tossing “snowflake” at someone’s head might work for you when nobody’s listening, but nah, you don’t get to walk away from this argument this easily today.

If you see single screenshots of the game, you might be really confused. Live A Live is like seven different RPGs all rolled into one. Each scenario isn't just set in a different "world" or time zone, it also plays differently from the others. And then an eighth chapter pulls...

The artist on the Japanese ninja scenario, for example, was manga artist Gosho Aoyama (Detective Conan). The music remains one of Square's best soundtracks, composed by Yoko Shimomura -- the woman behind Street Fighter II's music, Kingdom Hearts, Super Mario RPG, and many more.

@IGN In 1991, years after I had fallen out of love with gaming (after the Atari/C64 days), two of my university friends in Tokyo gave me a Super Famicom and Super Mario World for my birthday. I still talk to the one friend every week. The other one I married in 1997.

The scenarios range from prehistory (all interactions are basically emoji based since language wasn't invented yet) to spaghetti western to modern day to medieval times to an Alien-style creepy space adventure (and more). Each scenario was designed by a different artist.
