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...
Was dropping by Atlus Net to see if I could find some bits of new info about their games and came across this instead. The artist responsible for all the "Devil" designs in Atlus' MegaTen and Persona series Kazuma Kaneko, writes in his company blog entry fourty-five about his view of the spiritual world (霊界) and how it's like the...
Been a while since I finished Trauma Centre New Blood for the Wii and since I haven't posted about the soundtrack yet, I thought better late than never. All the tracks are mainly composed by Kenichi Tsuchiya who assisted Shoji Meguro for the DS game but, Atsushi Kitajoh was also responsible for a few of the tracks. The one you'll find here...
Two samples from the renewed Persona soundtrack is available for listening now. The opening starts of reminding me of "Mellow Dream" from PTS when Shin and his friends were off to Kurobe Bay but that wasn't by Meguro. Then the second half reminds me of the rock part from P3's OP "Burn My Dread". The second track feels like a mix of the style...
Came across this while I was checking for new P3 Drama CDs. It appears Geneon Entertainment is due to release the first Persona 4 drama CD on April 24th. It's not known what the story will be about but, Amazon lists the cast as Chie Satonaka (Yui Horie), Yukiko Amagi (Ami Koshimizu), Kuma (Kappei Yamaguchi), Yosuke Hanamura Shoutarou...
Decided to upgrade Wordpress this morning from v2.7 to the latest 2.7.1 for all the bugfixes and patched up potential XSS vulnerabilities. Thought I'd try using the new built-in automatic upgrading feature via the browser but, that was when things went pear-shaped. A browser time-out error occurred during the upgrade and the...
