Next Tuesday, May 17, is going to be an exciting day.
First, Wild Arms 3 is coming to the PS4! While I don’t have a PS4 yet, I played it on the PS2 and it’s one of my favorite JRPGs of all time.
Why? Fun gameplay, a great story, incredible foreshadowing… you can take a look at my Wild Arms 3 review for more details.
While it isn’t full backwards compatibility, I love that more PS2 games are becoming available on the PS4. Wild Arms 3 is still available physically at a reasonable price, but if you don’t have a PS2 and do have a PS4, you should definitely get it.
Wild Arms 3’s trophy list is available here.
And May 17 is also the day the English translation of The Tower of Swallows will be released.
The Tower of Swallows is the fourth Witcher novel, sixth following the two short story collections.
It’s definitely an exciting novel. If you enjoy the games, you really should read the saga, starting with The Last Wish, which I reviewed here.
So whether you’re looking for a good game or a good book, May 17 will be a great day! Are you going to get Wild Arms 3? The Tower of Swallows? Personally, I recommend both.
