Just when I was thinking about e-mailing Gameplay about my order yesterday, the package arrives this morning. It just also happened to be the day when the highschool exam results are sent out but that's another topic. Usually you'll see a student with straight As appearing on the news but haven't watched it today. I don't usually do...
First thought when I loaded up "Mario Strikers Charged Football" was how bad the graphics looked but then again, it was the same when I first loaded up Zelda:TP... The Wii's graphics just doesn't look that great and it bothers me a little because I know there's much better hardware out there. But as long as the gameplay's good, I can look...
That's right. There's going to be a novel of Shinkai's latest movie "5 Centimeters per Second" and it's going to have some extra content in it. In fact, it's already being serialised in the Japanese novel magazine, "Da Vinci" since the May issue. According to the official "5cm Staff Blog", what happened was some of Shinkai's fans who...
Well, that's twice I've e-mailed Animegamers.com since receiving my order from them two weeks ago. Nothing. I was expecting an apology or an explanation as to why my limited edition of "GetBackers Vol. 39" was missing the postcards that were supposed to have come with it. As I mentioned in my last post, they were the whole reason why I...
The Asian DVD (both the regular and limited editions) came out about a week ago complete with English subtitles. The limited edition contained the English dub too as well as other languages. I didn't pre-order this one like I did when "Spirited Away" was due for release even though I'm a fan of Ghibili's movies because its trailers just...
I actually have next week's "Trauma Center: SO" pre-ordered too but needed another game to play before then. Finished Zelda: TP a few days after getting my Wii towards the end of June. It was a good 50 hours. If only they would add in an enemy rush mode or something after you complete the game... Then it would be even better. Mario Strikers...
Since I will no longer be writing for Gamebrink anymore, I've decided to move my blog out again but not back to Blogger. Blogger's kind of too limited for my liking because its search feature isn't very accurate and there's no tagging or categories. So, it's back with Wordpress but since it's no longer hosted on a separate server, I cant...
Well readers, I've decided I'm going to stop translating Japanese gaming news. There doesn't seem to be that much interest in what other "weird and wonderful" titles come out in Japan anyway... Well, at least not more than what a machine translation can't cover. The other point is that there's plenty of bigger gaming sites and forums...
Shinkai Makoto's latest work "5 Centimeters per Second" just came out on DVD this Thursday, both the regular version and limited edition package. I didn't really know anything about it until I saw many versions of the RAW floating around on several Anime sites so I decided to look it up. I've actually watched some of his previous work...
Ever since I found out there was other limited editions of the GetBackers Manga, I've been scouring the net for retailers that stocked them. I spotted one store Animegamers that had a copy of volume 39 limited edition in stock so I quickly put in an order. I also decided to put in an order for the July issue of Newtype since I'm planning to...
