  1. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/shownow1.php?month=02&year=2005&town=Yuzawa%20Now! Tuesday 1st February 2005, 6:59PM Crazy snow at the moment, it is really coming down and has been since this morning. There has probably been about 70cm since last night, and there's another 30-50cm forecast from now until 9am tomorrow, and up to 90cm before tomorrow night!! (There are big queues on Route 17 at the moment and the expressway is closed. There are bound to be more traffic problems into tomorrow with such heavy snow - take care!) Out of interest, this season is seeing the most snow
  2. Which shops are they? (and how much are they 7000 yen?)
  3. Wipeout Pure Mercury Ridge Racers From now I might well import games rather than the J versions.
  4. War of The Worlds premiere shelved due to security concerns.....in Tokyo?? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4609979.stm Or perhaps they know it's just rubbish?
  5. I don't think I've had that, it sounds disgusting... do we have a proper translation?
  6. "Moog". A documentary about Mr Moog, the guy who invented the Moog synth. Curious little film, interesting if you love the subject.
  7. Never been on my own, sounds like much less fun. Always with friends. I once went with a group of 20 Japanese colleagues though and that was a bit much. Like britgob says though can be a pain if there's too much meeting up going on.
  8. First post in the thread: posted 15 August, 2004 02:39 PM
  9. Tron truly rocked at the time. I think only geeks of the time got it though. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, it must be 10 years since I have.
  10. Yes you can get more games across consoles - some have exclusivity for 6 months and deals like that. But for things like Metroid thats a special one, similar to Mario... you're not gonna find Mario on anything other than a Nintendo machine (as long as they are making machines I suppose)...
  11. Nope, Metroid is Nintendoland. Unless there are drastic changes, you won't see it on xbox anytime soon.....
  12. Article about the xbox in Japan on bbc here, at least they seem to be trying by bringing in some J-hero game designers. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4568917.stm
  13. MS don't just offer a slice of the pie. But anyways, enough of that particular argument. Quote: Im a bit shocked that Sony really stepped up to the plate on this one. And why is that, considering their almost complete dominance of the current generation? They have always shown complete dedication to the PS brand and all signs were/are that they do not indend for MS to overtake them. Funny how so little is being said about Nintendo (the brand of kiddies choice.)
  14. Quote: In japan I find that its family units that buy the consoles. I'm sure you find that if you are a teacher working at a school. But the facts differ. Whilst the kiddie market is bigger here than it is overseas, it is not the overwhelmingly biggest one and it is not the one that will decide the overall success of a console. Simple as that. Anyway, whatever. I'm just enjoying the unveilings.
  15. But 10-13s are nowhere near the main market either (esp in the US and Europe). They simply aren't. I also think MS will have a very tough time in Japan as well with the new one.... just not for the reasons you think. Some of the big Japanese developers on board this time may help, but lets face it they couldn't really do any worse than what they're doing now!
  16. She said.... YES! Don't have too much time now, but well pleased.
  17. Kiddies are not the biggest market for videogames anymore Fattwins. And the relatively small kiddie market is serviced by Nintendo - and just take a look at Gamecube numbers to see how they are doing (ie not too hot). Late teens to mid-30's is where it's at and the main target.
  18. Tonight I'm going to propose to my girlfriend. Wish me luck!!
  19. Is she going to say yes tonight.
  20. Things revealed (5 min vid) http://msxb.wmod.llnwd.net/a274/o2/ourcolony/TheColony_v1_750k.wmv
  21. I missed out on that generation. What was I missing?!
  22. How long do you give before Mr Top Guy does the suicide thing....
  23. It's a "gruesome bloodbath", apparently http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4513837.stm
