    I hadn’t heard anything about this, but sounds like a fun way to take in a few cool games. This past Saturday, Nintendo put its “art games” on display in Tokyo. Sixty Game Boy Micros were set up in Shibuya Parco’s basement, demoing new “Bit Generations” titles. Simple puzzle games rich in color and sound,…

    GAS has a few new things brewing. Their new GAS BOOK (23) features the works of Kuntzel+Deygas. It’s out now, but there still doesn’t seem to be any info on their site. I’ve already mentioned their new line of PSP cases, but I should point out that they will only be released April 20, but…

    After their foray into iPod cases, guess it was inevitable for GAS to go after the PSP next. Seems like the DS would have made more financial sense though. Japanese design group Gas Project are releasing a new line of designer Playstation Portable slipcases. Surface to Air, Hideki Inaba and Colette each designed a case.…

    I was out in Akihabara yesterday — full “out of the closet” disclosure: I wanted to go to the Yellow Submarine RPG shop to check out the board and card games (picked up a pack of this cool new “constructible strategy game” called PIRATES) — and it’s just insane to see how much the district…

    This is what the new PlayStation Spots in stations look like (from Kotaku). I myself have yet to spot one, but what seems sort of lame is that they’re still just offering downloads for demos that have been available at the Ginza Sony Building for ages now. Update: I found one at Ikebukuro station, but as…

    The official Katamari Damacy site is counting down to something… (3 more days.) Link via Kotaku.

    Sure, we’ve seen the Super Mario Bros. theme song played on guitar before, but this guy doing it on two guitars is pretty damn cool.

    Microsoft keeps on trying, this time partnering up with Beams. In a partnership with hipster clothing store BEAMS, the struggling console company is launching an official “Xbox 360 brand” t-shirt that was designed by the dude that created the Xbox Lounge. The shirts, which read “HIGH DEFINITION DETAILS,” go on sale March 23 at the…

    I love this new TV commercial for Suntory’s FFXII Potion drink, released in conjunction with the new game Final Fantasy game. Brilliant. Link via Kotaku.
