    Hmmm… A game for mobile phones that actually sounds interesting? From Paul’s IN-duce.net: Superstar is a massively multiplayer real-world game that takes place in Tokyo starting Sept. 12, 2005. The game uses Japanese Puri Kura sticker-clubs as a starting point for a playful experiment in social networks, automated phonecam image analysis, and urban visual culture.…

    Oh man, this is just what I need for my PSP — I watch more videos on it than I play games, by a crazy margin. Sony today announced a new 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo memory card, which will sell for around $200. The MSX-M2GS will soon be available, but can be pre-ordered now…

    See, I told you so. Next Generation dug up a Nikkei survey on Japanese consumers and the Xbox 360. Of consumers interested in purchasing a next-gen console, 72% were oogling a PlayStation 3, 22% coveted a Nintendo Revolution and just 6% wanted an Xbox 360. (Kotaku)

  • Xbox in Harajuku

    Xbox in Harajuku? Microsoft, face facts, no one in Japan is interested in the Xbox, and I doubt that even something like this could possibly turn things around. Microsoft is in the midst of constructing a $400,000+ building in Tokyo for its upcoming next-generation hardware. It’s currently draped in a huge sheet emblazoned with the…

    A reader suggested this link (following my moblog pic from Thursday) of a pic he took today at Laforet in Harajuku comparing his PSP to the Gameboy Micro. I gotta say that the Micro looks bigger than what I was expecting.

    It’s been announced that Sony is finally releasing a web browser for the PSP (I was never able to get the WIPEOUT PURE hack to work), which you’ll get through a firmware update (2.0) to be released next week. I’m a bit weary about the update, since previous updates have disabled the PSP’s ability to…

    Oh man, if you’re a Nintendo-boy like me, then this tee is, well, I’ve already contacted the creator about getting one. These are indie-made (looks like he’s based in Montreal), and he’s planning on doing a series of different personalities. But come on, it’s all about the Miyamoto goodness!

    It was just a matter of time (form Kotaku): Japanese porn company Glay’z just announced that five of their quality flesh films are coming to the portable. The intriguingly titled The Nurse of a Big Breast will join Make a play of Riko Tachibana and Soap Play of Anna Kaneshiro in early July as the…

    This makes me smile. Japan’s FAMITSU WEEKLY (the top gaming magazine) had a reader survey on which next-gen console they were most interested in, and here are the results: 1. Nintendo Revolution – 42.2% 2. Sony PlayStation 3 – 39.8% 3. Microsoft Xbox 360 – 18.0% Nice to see that despite the huge pushes by…

    Ohmygod. I don’t usually post possible fakes, but if this is true — a Gamecube Advance (which I’m assuming would play all Gamecube games you already own) is just way too exciting! Link to the Joystiq post (includes one more pic of it closed, with data readout on the cover).
