    This weekend is definitely looking like a great one — on top of the already mentioned Tokyo Fun Party “Juliana” on Sunday, the night before sees the all-night “FAMIMODE,” produced by the great Kichijoji retro game shop Meteor.

    I don’t just like The King of Games, in fact, I love The King of Games, and I’m absolutely overjoyed with my new “Zelda 20th Anniversary Hoodie” (in grey). As you can see in the detailed pics from the site, it looks awesome, and I can’t even start to describe how much it looks like…

    How did Danny Choo get his Wii? In full Storm Trooper uniform of course! I had dinner with Danny once, and it was great finding out about the politics of the people who “officially” dress as Storm Troopers (Danny is all indie).

    I did it, I ended up with a Wii on launch day! After waking up early (5:30) and going to the main Bic Camera store in Ikebukuro and finding out that it was too late — and I wasn’t alone, as many people with dejected looks on their face walked away from the store as…

    I am absolutely devastated. It’s one day before the Wii’s launch here in Japan (well, one day before I was planning on standing in line outside the Bic Camera in Ikebukuro), and I get hit with a cold. I’m feeling like crap, and can’t see that I’ll be able to make an all-nighter camped out…

    Jeux France posts a few images of a store that has already set up displays for the Wii, ahead of the December 2 sale date (they don’t say what store this is from though). Me, I’m still excited about the Wii, but I have to say that the only time I started having some reservations…

    I don’t want to go out and say that BLUE DRAGON, out in early December, is going to be the Xbox 360’s savior here in Japan, but awareness for the title seems to be at an all-time high — ads are everywhere, even on the cash registers of all 7/11 stores — and now this:…
