And so, Global Shinkai Day has come to an end. I literally stayed up overnight until Saturday morning at six for the first session, slept for the second then stayed for the others. The number of attendees started off pretty well. It mostly floated between the 10 to 15 people mark for the day but peaked to just over 21 while Promised Days was...
Yes, that comedy "non-generic" fantasy show has its own MMORPG now and it's free to play too subtitled, "The Recovery of Babylim". Maybe I'll try it out later but I won't be able to relate to the show since I haven't actually watched either season yet. The interface actually reminds me of RAN Online which was a grinding game with no story...
Just before joining the Global Shinkai Day, I finished the 1GB Last Remnant PC demo that got released yesterday. You can download it via the official site or a mirror such as GamersHell. It has both English/Japanese voice and text in it which can be adjusted in options. Having not played the Xbox360 version released last year November...
Last time I couldn't really figure out why the pendants had disappeared off the Atlus D Shop but, it looks like you can only order them during the "Dark Hour" at site which is between 00:00 - 01:00 JST. You'll know it's that time when the banner and background's gone dark so drop on by for a closer look at the 92.5% real silver pendants if...
Devil Survivor fans will soon be able to buy themed black and white mugs from March onwards or go for a customisable glass tumbler in April. There's nothing much to say about the mugs but, the glass holds 320ml of liquid and has a rubber bottom to prevent it from sliding off slippy surfaces. It can also handle temperatures between 90 ~ 30C...
The Japanese have to make a card game out of almost everything don't they? Released October 2008, the "Monster Hunter Hunting Card" game is fairly simple to play revolving around hit points much like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon. Players can use up to four of their Hunter Cards to battle it out with a Target Monster Card and if the total of their...
In the second entry of his developer's diary, Shoji Meguro describes how he is going about his music composition for the upcoming Persona PSP game. Two of the tracks being available for sampling already.
The rearrangements will be based on the pop style he developed from P3 and P4 and, will be trying to match it all with the world...
Decided to buy the Chrono Trigger DS after all. A classic RPG with a rare bonus pre-order soundtrack CD was just too good to pass up over here in the UK even if it does only offer two orchestral tracks. Have to say I like how the full colour manual uses Akira Toriyama's illustrations. They look much better in print than on the tiny DS screens...
Persona 4 is reaching European shores on March 23th next month and Play.com is offering this exclusive yellow t-shirt if you pre-order with them. It's not the same as the Konami Edition or the US' Social Link Expansion Pack versions but, not too bad eh? Or if you have a contact in Japan, you could always go for some of the other official...
Just when I was reading over Kazuma Kaneko's thoughts about the "powers" of the internet and how it compares with the "spiritual world" I came across this...
Looks like fans from all over the world will be gathering together at the Makoto Shinkai English Fan Forum this weekend to chat with each other while watching his movies. If you...
