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...

I don't usually cover Wii news unless it's related to one of my favourite subjects. In this case, Gegege no Kitaro. Supporting up to 4 players and making full use of the motion sensing Wiimote, "Gegege no Kitaro: Youkai Daiundoukai" allows you to play as any of the Youkai characters such as Kitaro, Neko Musume or Nezumi Otoko. Of all the...
Those who pre-order the game at participating stores will receive a monster guide book introducing the enemies you'll face in the game. Seven different stickers will also be used as part of a prize draw on July 12th and August 9th. Divided into two sets A Course and B Course, anyone lucky enough to collect all stickers of either set will...
