Despite watching the parody trailer and knowing how much it was going to cost, I still went ahead and pre-ordered Wii Fit and managed to slip one in on Amazon before it got pre-sold out. The demand is so high it doesn't look like the price will drop any time soon and it is a first party Nintendo title. Yesterday I received the package which...

Today was the big day the first Rebuild of Evangelion LE DVD is officially released in Japan. I know the ISOs and raws have been floating about on the internet for a good few days now but, I'll just wait for my real copy to arrive before watching it. In the meantime, I came across these hilarious ads that Akibablog (NSFW) found being used at...

Decided to pick up "Mario Kart Wii" while I was waiting for my copy of Wii Fit to arrive. Finding a copy was pretty difficult. About a week after release, there was still plenty of stock in both shops and online stores over here. However, another week later and it was pretty much sold out. Fortunately I just happened to find one store online...

I remember how I bought the first Monster Hunter game for the PSP and almost gave up after spending an hour on it because I didn't like the controls one bit. The weapons were hard to use, there was no lock on, the monsters you fought can kill you in one hit and the camera had to be adjusted manually. It was a good few months before I came back to...

A new entry about how Makoto Shinkai's been doing in London. Maybe those of you down there will recognise the picture he's taken of his neighbourhood. I have the impression that he's been getting a lot of visitors but doesn't mind them since he's been eating out and drinking with them. He writes: April 22nd 2008 It's nearing the end of...

Episode 3 Summary - The Captive Academy As Rollo revealed his reason for appearing in front of the Chinese Embassy, his phone rings. He answers and is...

Episode 16 Summary - The Child of Liberation and the Spirit of Healing The Marebito's leader Kyujo is resting as Saki shares what little of the pills she had left amongst her team members.

So it's now possible to play games from other regions thanks to Datel's Freeloader (available from both Code Junkies and Play-Asia) but, there have been reports that a recent mini update from Nintendo has blocked it. Well, here's another option now using the ELF exploit that was found in the Zelda Twilight Princess game and can be run...
