Decided to pick up the Japanese version of Persona 4 after all, even though I only have access to a PAL PS2. Just received it a few days ago. To my relief, it works fine on Swap Magic and doesn’t swirl as badly as the other games.
I had the good fortune of having a contact over in Japan who was willing to pre-order the game for me so, out of all the pre-order goods I decided to go for the postcards Seven Eleven had. I had thought about trying to get the wall scroll but, that would be quite a hassle to send over. Besides, it wasn’t really my kind of illustration.

It is the year a.t.b. 1997. C.C. and Marianne are sitting by the grass fields looking out to the waters on a bright sunny day. A little further away from them, V.V. reminds Emperor Charles of their pact to destroy the gods. Charles considered everyone a liar. All humanity were liars. They were going to purge the world of lies.

It appears Nintendo is ready to release “Wii Sports 2″ except they’ve named it “Wii Sports Resort” and not only that, they’re going to use it to introduce another add-on for their Wii console.
Dubbed the “Wii MotionPlus“, this little add-on plugs into the bottom of the Wiimote and helps to improve the accuracy of reflecting the user’s movements in a game.
In other words, this could mean no more “wagging” and sword fighting could be more fun than “Zack and Wiki“.

“Those Cheeky Heroes” for the PSP was a great game despite its looks but, the only downside was perhaps it was too short. Now the dungeon maker is set to come back in “Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaiki da Or2” with even more monsters to spawn and more heroes to slay as you play the God of Destruction.
So what’s new in this sequel?
- 4 times the number of stages.
- 2.5 times more classes for the invading heroes to take up.
- 3.3 more monsters to spawn such as the golem.

Here’s another title to add to the DragonBall series of games, this time a 3D ARPG covering the very first series when Goku was still young and goes on the search for the Dragon Balls with Bulma. It appears the control scheme will be similar if not, the same as Zelda Phantom Hourglass which uses the touch pen only. It will also follow the story closely with real-time cutscenes.
I never watched the full series, only ‘Z’. I know Master Roshi’s a pervert but never knew he had a lolicon too.

It’s been a month since Makoto Shinkai appeared at the London, BFI “5 Centimetres per Second” screening. He’s now posted the following entry on his website about his well-being and the event itself.
Looks like they caught me on camera when they were taking pictures of the queue for the autograph session.
It’s been quite a while since my last entry and I’ve received a number of e-mails from people who were concerned about the lack of news from me. I am doing well. In London, we’re having a very cool summer. My life routine here involves going to school everyday, visiting the pub and China Town with my friends, in a way eating lunch alone sometimes, going jogging when the weather’s nice, going to the supermarket every three days to buy food, making dinner and eating it and, sleeping at around 12 o’clock. When I feel like it in Tokyo, I would go out for a drink even when it’s midnight so in comparison, these are pretty quiet days.
The photo above is a view of the city (London’s Wall Street) and was taken on a hill within my neighbourhood. This is an area of London where one can see rare sights of modern high rise buildings lined up together. On the right you can see St. Paul’s Cathedral. I’ve only seen it from afar and have never been there.

Never played any of the previous titles in the series but decided to pick up “Super Smash Bros Brawl” for the Wii because there’s been another lack of good titles for the console. I had the game pre-ordered and managed to get this “Limited Edition” sleeve for the game together with a postcard of Zero Suit Samus. Pretty cool considering the Japanese version never got any pre-order goodies despite usually getting lots of them.

A new trailer’s up for S-E’s detective RPG, Sigma Harmonics featuring the game’s theme song “Harmonia Vita” sung by Aya Hirano (known for roles in Haruhi Suzumiya and Lucky Star).
Be warned, though. They seem to have stuck in a big spoiler in the trailer…
