I’ll be pulling together a final Wonder Festival post tomorrow with information on the remaining industry offerings not covered in the earlier post. I’d also like to address some of the above headlines in a bit more depth, particularly Zepy’s post on problems in the eroge industry – I’ve been working up some great (awful) puns on the theme that I am gleefully hoping to unleash soon. >:3 Now that WF coverage is mostly done I should be able to return to some long-form posts on other subject matter – a good thing, because at this point I’m getting rather tired of it. I’m glad the next one isn’t until August. ^^;;
Obligatory whoredom: spiky ball Dynamite Kanu is very competitively priced at Play-Asia!
Wow, Zepy’s post is really going around. I’d like to see your take on the whole issue, Shingo, as you’re familiar with it.
Wow- to those who have never expierenced Perfect Blue, it’s a great movie. I got it years ago when it was first released on DVD and it’s a creepy thriller.
Great animation, great music and fantastic movie.
Well, sounds similar to the consolidation taking place in the pc gaming industry while the better companies move onto making games for consoles.
And hopefully, those 2 new dakis are sold in Japan only. I can then forget about them and save some serious cash. 8)
